LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
HOUSE - TUESDAY AFTERNOON
CARSON, February 10
The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the special order - Mr. Fisher in the Chair - and took up the first bill on the list. [Some seventy-five ladies have swarmed into the House, and the process of swarming still continues. I have a presentiment that I am to have an exhaustless stream of weak platitudes inflicted upon me by Young Gillespie and other unmarried members. - MARK.
[reprinted in Mark Twain of the Enterprise, edited by Henry Nash Smith, (Univ. of California Press, 1957), p. 154.]
