Stayed around Londe all day until about 4 o'clock when
Mr. Clippingdale came down, and while we were drinking
some tea Mr. Frank's fever got higher and he became
frightened and sent over for me. You see I am about to
be a physician all at once. I went over with Mr. Clip-
pingdale and his temp. was 103° with a terrible head-
ache, and pains in the kidneys &c. We bathed his head
in cold water and he became more easy. I then gave him
a hot sponge bath which caused a sweat. Then I injec-
ted some water into his bowels which relieved him very
much and he became quite easy. We suceeded in reducing
his temperature and gave him the required amount of
Quinine. We decided, however, that he had sun fever.
After chop - which lasted about 2 hours from 7 to 9-
and then an hour of conversation around the table - which
made it about 10 o'clock I went home, but Mr. Clippingdale
stayed all night.

Early this a.m. before breakfast I went with Mr. Lagerin
up to Matadi and I stayed there & chopped at breakfast &
dinner with with Mr. Clippingdale. I went down to the
ship and we saw the Capt. of Ed. Bohlen, Capt. Tabber-
back. About noon it came quite a hard rain which lasted
for some time & after the rain was over we went down in
his boat to se Mr. Frank whom we found much better and
very cheerful & hopeful. We then came back to Londe and
I got out & Mr. C. went to Matadi again. I found a let-
ter from me from Morrison who is at Tumba now and will
go to Stanley Pool as soon as he can get carriers. Am
well thank the Lord for his goodness to me. Good night.

Soon after breakfast this a.m. Mr. Lagerin came to me
with a large envelope, a small one and 2 postal cards.
The large one contained some documents in regard to the
land at Tumba together with a letter from Bro. Morrison,
the smaller one and the two postal cards were from
Phipps. After reading them I went over to see how my
patient wasand took with me some nice oser. I found
him entirely free from fever. After staying a little
while I went back to Londe & it was dinner time. By
the way, Mr. MᶜKenney of the I.M.A. after a fortnight's
visiting up country at the different stations came in
all wet for he had been in all the rain. He is a real
