Monday Jan. 16 - 1899

The boys cut wood, gathered mangoes &c. I felt a little
queer and about 5 o'clock p.m. went to bed & took my ten-
perature - I found it 102° I piled on the blankets got i
among the hot-water bottles, drank hot water, & began to
perspire most profusely ~ Sophie had not been feeling
well, but my having fever gave her such a scare that she
got well at once. After I had perspired freely for some
time I decided that my fever was going down, but on
taking my temp. again I found that it had gone up a
degree. I drank more hot water, hot milk an so on and
sweat freely for an hour or so longer - found temp. going
down took Quinine & in the a.m. was O.K.

Tuesday Jan. 17 - 1899

This aem. I got up, against the wishes of every one for
I had no fever - and I know about what the fever was,
but I rested on the Sopha nearly all day and did very
little work - train came in but did not bring bike nor
box - good=-night.

Wednesday Jan. 18 -1899

Today I am as strong as an ox. Had some cleaning up done
wrote letters &c. Henrietta Steamer came in from Kassai
but we did not get any mail from Luebo - the boat will

not go to Kassai this time but will go to Stanley Falls
on rout congo.

Thursday Jan. 19 - 1899
Another day has passed. No boat yet - the boat is out a
long time this time. Nothing of interest, I went to the
train expecting to get the bike & box, but they did not
come - Sophie is much disappointed - I believe I am more
so for I need the wheel - All well. good night - Yours

Mr. Vass went to Kinshassa to-day. His first ride in
the hammock. He ate dinner with Mr. Gordon - Gordon
wrote me to buy him 200 quanga - a beautiful day.

Saturday Jan. 21 - 1899

I bought a lot of Quanga today - went to the train to

get bike & box, but was disappointed once more. Prepara-
tions made for Sunday - Good-night.
