Diary of Orville Hickman Browning, Monday, June 11, 1860

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
