March 21

Mrs. Rose spoke in Carver's Saloon
to a small audience, not
exceeding 100, 40 tickets only
were sold, thus, $10 was the
amount of receipts _

The smallness of the audience
was attributable to the fact
that the subject has never
["X" in left-hand margin]
been agitated here, Lucy Stone
spoke last January to a small
audience, had a rainy night.
Mrs. R's subject the Educational
& Social Rights of Woman.

March 23d

Cloudy in the A. M. bright about
noon, showers in the P.M. & a
wind & rain storm in the [fore?]
part of evening & clear at 9 o'clock.
Visited the printing offices,
The Evening Star, the only paper
that has charged us for inser-
tion of notices & the only one
that reported Mrs. R's speech
Most of the Editors seem
kind & polite, willing to pub-
lish all the articles I gave them -
at 1 o'clock went to the
Capitol listened to three
speeches from Southern [men?] -
Millison of Va., Hunt of
La. & Breckenridge of Kentucky

The 1st in favor of the original
Nebraska Bill, but opposed to the Badger
amendment, the 2d opposed to
the Bill, out & out, on the ground
that it is a violation of Good
Faith, as plighted in the Missouri
Compromise. The 3d in favor
of the Bill, an eloquent speaker, &
had he had truth for his founda
tion principle, his speech would
have been a most powerful one,
his face had a fine expression,
