From Timothy Thomas Fortune New York, May 3 I, Loo My dear Mr. Washington: I am very glad to have your letter of the 26th instant today. I am very glad indeed to have you say I was of service in getting the Washington address in shape, because I was In a terrible state of nervous disorganization in Washington, complicated with the blamed stomach, so that I was as touchy as a cat. But you made a great hit in Washington and I am glad I had some share in it. And I feel that my suggestion as to conserving your voice will work infinitely to your advantage in the future not only in saving you but in the effect on the auditors. You made the impression all right in Washington, I know, and I am pleased to have you say you struck the brethren right at Columbus. Murphy? He will get in line with us, or I will do what I can to kill him and the Southern Society. The fast and loose business don't go with me on the race question. I was in bed yesterday with my stomach. I shall have soon to leave New York or go to bed. The Page people have not sent the check, and I tam] almost crazy over small debts I can't pay on that account, but it will all come right in the end, I hope. I am sick but cheerful. Yours truly T Thomas Fortune ALS Con. ~72 BTW Papers DLC. 548
