Wednesday Jan. 26 ~ 1898

In the a.m. I made my round to call on my friends who
were ill and found them all well. Mr. O. will not go

to MKissi tomorrow. In the afternoon it rained a very
hard rain and we were gled to see it for it helps us out
with the water very much. You see if it don't rain we
must have our water brought from the small stream which
is about 1 mile away. I finished making a table today.
Mr. Morgan after a vacation of about.2 weeks came in.
Mr. Graham had the Congo service Sophie & I are reading

a book together, call Titus or the two comrades to the
Crosse

Thursday Janse 27 ~ 1898

A lovely day & Mrs. Crowley was feeling so exceedingly
well & happy that she thought it a good day to entertain
so accordingly Mr. & Mrs. Graham, our very dear friends
were invited to dine with us at 6:30 this eve. They
came and we had a lovely time. Our dinner consisted of
soup, heart fresh from the ox, with nice dressing, de-
lightful rolls, curried & uncurried prawns, ham, dough-
nuts & Bartletts Pears - & tea. After dinner Mr. Graham
& I went out to the chapel & entertained 3 coast men in
a scripture reading and prayers ~ songs & & a little
wholesome gospel advice. After the service we came back
into the house & had some singing of our own.

Friday Jan. 28 - 1898

A lovely day. I made some calls & about 11:30 o'clock,
Mrs. Graham & Mrs. Crowley went down to the native market
& tried to talk some to the native women, but they do not
want to know anything of God's palava. A market consists
of a lot of people collecting together in an open place,
with whatever they have to sell or exchange. I went down
and managed to get a few sweet potatoes and-a nice squash
This pom. there came up a hard wind and cold, with a
little sprinkling of rain, which kept people indoors for
an hour or so, and when we did go out, we had to dress up
in our winter clothes. The mails came in from England,
but brought no letters or papers to us from America. We
expect them, however on Monday. Now I say good night.
Sophie & Stephen.
