Fine day. At 512 P.
M. took the cars for Springfield to attend US Circuit Court. Reached
Springfield at midgnight and stopped at the American. Many democrats were in
Company coming over to attend the meeting of the democratic State Convention on
Wednesday. Quite cloudy & thundering and lightning when we arrived at
Springfield, and some rain before day. The Circuit Court commenced in Quincy to
day but I could not remain, being compelled to come here
