is also a slight complication & she is very nervous
which accounts for the fever staying up so. I had 2
caravans to day and with the aid of Mr. Pennock a colored
brother of B.M.S. I got them loaded and dispatched them
for the Fool.

Thursday Dec. 16 ~ 97.

Mrs. 0. still has fever - she and I both had a very bad
night - she very restless and I kept very busy waiting on
her. Today Mr. Graham lent me a carivan and Mr. P. loaded
them and I dispatched some more goods to the Pool. Later
I got a caravan from Mr. Morgan of C.B.M. and Bro. P.
loaded & dispatches them. I have now nearly all the loads
sent out and they will go up to Luebo on the same steamer
as Dr. Snyder. «

Friday - Temperature still up. I called Mrs. Graham in
last night while I had a good rest. These people are so
good. Today Mrs. C. seems better but very nervous we
hepe for the better tomorrow.

Saturday Dec. 18 - 1897.

Last night at 12 o'clock Mr. Pinnock came over and sat up
while I slept in the room to assist him. Mrs. C. had a
very bad night but her fever seems none the worse.
Thursday eve. I called in the Dr. & he said the nervous-
ness was nothing and as soon as the fever was gone that
would be good. Friday a.m. he came again and said she
was much better. Gat. a.m. today he came again and pro#
nounced her better - but in reality she is just about the
same very restless. The Dr. said he would not come again
& I told him good, for he did not a bit more than I did
and did not charge my treatment. Her temperature went
down this aem. but went up again. She had a rather hard
day of it.

Sunday Dec. 19 - 97.

Last night Mrs. C. rested better in the early part - and
had several little naps but in the early asm. became very
restless. Between 7 & 9 o'clock we both had a good nap.
Bach. It is now 3 o'clock and she has slept nicelyiall day
waking only for medicine & nourishment. I think the fever
will leave her today our kind Heavenly has been with us
in our trouble and we give Him praise.
