Mar. 23rd.  We spent the day at the Exposition.  Mr. Richardson introduced us to the local editor and we have some conversation with him and with many others of the leading men of the exhibition and others of wealth that the exhibition has brought together.  There are some very good exhibits.  Braidwood is a nice little town of a few hundred people.  The district has a radius of 20 to 30 miles.
