Sept 14, 1893
I was much Better this morning and I went to the fair And I saw more to day than half the time
I have been in the fair I visited the fine Arts building
went through it And it was like a sea of sculpture
& Art Painting it was immens Then I visited the
streets of Cario saw the Camels & Asses & Belowan
Arabs & Turks & their Harams I visited their
Temple saw 10 Mummies Heard a Lecture of the Temple
I then went through the old Moorish Palace it was
about the grandest affair I Ever saw it seemed as
though a person should spend a week in it in order
to Examine what it contained
~ Friday
15 I made an appointment with Prest Cannon
to go and visit Mr Joseph S Woodruff & son Joseph B Woodruff we found them at the Hartford
Building which they had built up themselves at the
(cornor of Dearborn & Madisons streets) They are
from the same country as myself probably distant
Relatives He agreed to send me a record of his Fathers
Household He appeared to be a rich Man. In the Evening
in company with H. B. Clawson & Daughter with Blanch
& Alice I visited the Crucifixion on canvass it
was the Most Exciting scene on canvass I Ever
saw we could see All over Jerrusalem & the surroun-
ding country for 30 miles & those who were assembled
at the Crucifixion the Lecturer pointed out the Temple Harrods residence & all the ressidences of the country
