Today, April 13, 1896, was exhausting. We held our oral arguments in front of the Supreme Court of the United States. After being rejected once again by the Louisiana Supreme Court, spirits were low. James C. Walker and I submitted a brief, as did Samuel F. Phillip and F.D. McKenney. Long, tiring, spirited debates were held, and, although our argument is stronger, it seemed like the Court was leaning toward their side. I just don't understand, but I guess making the decision is the justices's jobs, not mine. I just argue and make less money than I rightfully should because of the kindness of my heart. Sometimes I regret agreeing to argue this case for free, even though I will never doubt the righteousness of my decision. I'll get back to you when we hear the decision. Cross your fingers and pray for me!
