While in Springfield compares difference of Lincoln's "simple frame home" to ex-Governor Mattesson's mansion "a living evidence of the rascality" of one who "stole the money from the state to build the house". In New York visits Barnum's, the anatomical museum and the Universalist church to hear E.H. Chapin and describes all.
