promised, to furnish me with enough
to arrange the preliminary work. He
at once inclosed my letter to Gen
Clarkson, with an Endorsement re-
questing the money to be furnished
me, and on the 18th of August wrote
me, saying: 81 have your letter of
the IOth, and have forwarded it through
Mr.. Clarkson, with such an indorse-
ment as you suggest"
Gen. Clarkson saw Col. Dudley and
Dudley said he had no funds in hand
belonging to to the Committee that
he had furnished $16S of his own
funds for the Committee, and that
would nave to wait awhile. l did not
like this and so wrote Senator Quay,
and in reply to my letter he wrote
me, Aug. %, saying: "In reply to
my request that he should give you
81 900 to commence your work, Gen.
Dudley informs me that the treasury
of the National Committee is empty;
that he has been compelled to advance
Sl6S from his private funds to meet
overdrafts. l am perfectly willing to
give my time to the cause, but cannot
afford to pay the expenses of the
Committee.
L then thought L would let the matter
rest till they could replenish the treas
ury, but on the Sth of September l re-
cefved letter from Quay, saying:
will you have the Kindness on receipt
of this to place yourself in communion
tion with Mr.. William d. Mullin, of
Stephenson, Mullin IL Co., Bramwell,
w. Va, where it is probable that 200
families of your North Carolina emf
grants will be received and employed,
etc. Please act promptly, etc. ex-
pect to be in Washington within two
weeks and will then see you.'
Soon after Congress convened | saw
him at his committee room. He asked
me how was getting along with my
work. | told him l had done all l could
do without money. He said: tCaH UP
here to see me in ten DAYS or two weeks
and will arrange Matters / said to
him: Senator, shall l call in ten days
or two weeks?" He said: 81 am very
busy with my legislative matters Make
1T two weeks" L did not call at the ex-
piratiOn of two weeks, which was on
December 20, think, expecting that he
would spend his Christmas HOLIDAYS in
the city and that he would then have a
better chance to arrange matters, but
to my surprise he went to his home at
Beaver, Pa. Soon after his return l
called to see him, on Tuesday, and he
said to me: '"The Senate will probably
