March 10-98 Springfield & Morris.
Found the Woodburn triangle in th
[illegible] the State Capitol. The place
is very dirty, dark and extremely hot,
or that I could not see them to
advantage. There are 65 boxes and
and weigh one ton. Whites labels an
etles with them. They certainly do not
appear to be worth $200 the price asked
for by Mr. Armstrong.
Received a telegram from Cairo
asking me to come to Morris and
meet Mr. Davis. This would give me
a chance also to see Mr. Armstrong.
Left for Morris at 10.45 A.M.
The State of Illinois purchased
the Dasher collection which was exhibited
at World's Columbian Exposition, and
the can donate to the state
University at Champaign.
