Through successive entries, Johnston recounts his travels throughout the state on behalf of the society, apparently charged with promoting  the society and its upcoming 1874 fair. He names the many farmers that he meets along the way and describes their encounters. The nine-page diary ends on October 23, with Johnston arriving in Richmond from Lynchburg, where he had attended the local agricultural fair.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.
