Monday Feb. 8 ~ 1897 .
Lest night at retiring I took 5 grs. Quinine as I felt
a little badly, and I perspired a great deal during the
night. This morning I arose feeling quite well T hanks
to our heavenly Father. After breakfast with Mr. Clip-
pingdale, I went via Mr. Harvey's to P.0.. From there
to R.R..magazine. I looked over some goods & As I
stood outside the door I saw Mr. Lagerin going to Londe
in his boat, so I went to the ship (Albertvill) and got
into his boat and went to Londe with him. After chop I
wrote a short time, and read a lovely essay, written by
my friend Miss Millie Burnett of Nashville, and published
in the Baptist & Reflecter. I then read a Missionary
paper published in the "Out Look," a family paper. Both
these papers were sent me by.Miss Sophie Wright of
Nashville. I did some more work, purchased 2 pre. of
canvas shoes with rubber soles. After supper & prayers
I sat and conversed with Mr. Sjoholm until Bedtime. Now
I will say good-night for the Lord has been good to me.
I have not had a fever yet. Praise the Lord.

Tuesday Feb. 9 - 1897 .

Had a good nights rest. After chop, went to Matadi,
walked, saw the chief of the station who informed me
that I could not send any more baggage by a passenger,
unless it was wearing apparel &c. However this p.m. I
am going to take my trunk & several boxes to the station
and run the risk of it and send a boy with them in the
morning. I went with the goods to the depot and placed
ten colis (10 packages) weighing 330 kilos or 660 lbs.
on the scales & had them weighed and received, paid for
a ticket and rec'd it for the boy. I then went to the
P.O. and posted a paper for Mr. M°K. and purchased 2
new stamps & came back to Londe. No more of importance
during the day.

Wednesday Feb. 10 - 1897

Arose very early this a.m. and went with boy to get him
and the goods to Tumba. But there was no train — one
engine had flown the track and no traffie today. I &
boy returned to Londe just in time for breakfast. I
went again to Matadi with Mr. Sjoholm and he agreed to
take the lumber that was at Matadi for A.P.CM. So I
have that much off hands. I went to Mr. Clippingdale's
