AUG. 15.
I have not gone the journey yet, and do not know that I shall. If a little bit of a speech which I am thinking of, but not talking about, were off my hands, I might; but I do not know when it will be, if at all.
I had encouragement for the floor when I wrote to you: but the House passed a resolution stopping debate; so the promise was worth nothing. The next time we go into "Committee of the Whole," &c., we, of course, shall have a new chairman, and then I shall be as far off as ever.
