Nothing of importance took place today. I had a caravan
come in but I will not be able to let them go off until
tomorrow as they came so late. Oh yes! the train tonigh
brought us some letters and papers from home we enjeyed
them so much - we wish we could hear from home every day.

Tuesday Jan. 18 - 1898

After loading my caravan this aem. I had te buy a new
license for the capeta. You see all licenses expire with
the last day of the year. I wanted some tickets but ther
were none at the state and so the capeta was allowed to
go and not have the tieket, but they must be accounted fo
at the end of the line just the same. Mrs. W. baby is
very sick yet temperature still very high 104° to 105°
Far. All others welle Good nights

Wednesday Jan. 19 - 1898

The early part of the day was taken up in the various
things which the missionary has to do with, and fortun-
ately for the Crowley family all went well. But all day
there were two anxious people, more anxious than all the
rest of us for Mr. & Mrs. Wooding were carefully watech-
ing and nursing their darling little child, a baby girl
of 75 days old, who had fever for about 5 days and would
not go down. Her temperature very high all the time.

But alas! the trying time for the loving parents came at
last. At 15 minutes past 5 o'clock in the afternoon
today the sweet little darling was relieved from all pain
and suffering and her soul went on angels wings to the
loving arms of Jesus who when he was here said "suffer
the little children to come unto me and forbid them not
for of such is the kingdom of Heaven." Mrs. Graham laid
out the little body and left it in its own little cradle
for thenight. They are very sad but they bear it bravely
They are both so thankful that the Lord spared the little
one to them as long as He did - for it was a great bless-
ing to them ~ and nothing has ever done them so much good
as its appearance into their home - and in its death they
were doubly blessed, for the found out that other people
loved them and had sympathetic hearts and took interest
in them. Heretofore, they stood aloof and tho't no one
cared for then. Mr. Graham and I went over and notified
the state authoroties of the death and made arrangements
for its burial. good-night.
