Mrs. R. & Myself dined at
Gerritt Smith's Dr. James & wife of Syracuse
& Mr. Hagaty & wife of Lockport
were also there - Mrs. Smith's sister
Tallman of Rochester & brother
Fitzugh were there - passed
the evening very pleasantly.

March 24

Directed tickets to Mrs Rose
meeting on Political & Legal Rights
of woman this evening at Carver's Saloon,
to both Representatives & Senators,
in all about 300 in number

Asked the Speaker of the
House for the use of the
Capitol on Sunday A. M.
["X" in the left margin]

$22.75 & the latter $114.46

spectable size here - The Editors
here are very Polite, unlike our North
ern ones, they publish notices gratis, &
unlike them, they are cautious
