three in the morning
I should think you would stop your ears , if you are not dead to all shame : '' ` WASHINGTON , Nov. 30 . '' ` Messes . Perkins , Wagner , et at . '' ` GENTLEMEN : It is a delicate question about this Indian trail , but , handled with proper deftness and dubiousness , I doubt not we shall succeed in some measure or otherwise , because the place where the route leaves the Lassen Meadows , over beyond where those two Shawnee chiefs , Dilapidated Vengeance and Biter-of-the-Clouds , were scalped last winter , this being the favorite direction to some , but others preferring something else in consequence of things , the Mormon trail leaving Mosby 's at three in the morning , and passing through Jaw bone Flat to Blucher , and then down by Jug-Handle , the road passing to the right of it , and naturally leaving it on the right , too , and Dawson 's on the left of the trail where it passes to the left of said Dawson 's and onward thence to Tomahawk , thus making the route cheaper , easier of access to all who can get at it , and compassing all the desirable objects so considered by others , and , therefore , conferring the most good upon the greatest number , and , consequently , I am encouraged to hope we shall . However , I shall be ready , and happy , to afford you still further information upon the subject , from time to time , as you may desire it and the Post-office Department be enabled to furnish it to me . '' ` Very truly , etc. , '' ` MARK TWAIN , '' ` For James W. N ----- , U. S. Senator . ' `` There -- now what do you think of that ? ''
