Mrs. Julia Ward Howe was in Washington and brought a case of
need before a distinguished Senator, who excused himself,
writing that he was so taken up with matters of wide public
interest that he could not look after individual cases.
Mrs. Howe wrote in her note-book that “at last accounts
the Lord God Almighty had not attained to that eminence.”
