am seated by a little table and a very nice supper is
given me by Bro. Phips whom I find to be a very nice
congenial fellow in the Work, and very piritual. After
supper we went the C.B.M. Station where I delivered a
package to Mr. Wooding. There I met Mr. Forfeit, Morgan,
Pinoek (Col.), and Hille I had a very pleasant visit,
and went home and retired. I slept on Phip's bed & he
slept on ay bed~stead, whieh is a good cot. After re-
tiring, we were so glad to meet each other that sleepi-
ness had departed from us & our eyes stayed open and we
talked until 2 in the morning. After awhile we went to
sleep & we arose about 6 o'elock.

& I talked until 2 o'clock We went down to the station

I gladly did. After we had the baggage carried up a ear
loaded with goods came in and we eheeked them. After
whieh Phips paid some earriers who had just come from
Dr. Sims at Stanley Pool. After a good dinner with my
friend I went baek to the house & began doing some work
necessary for my living. The day, taking in all, was
spent profitably, I hope.

And after dinner I brought two of them up with me and put
them to work. Another profitable day, I hope.

friend's, and if they knew how to work as men do in
Ameriea, it would not be long until I would have the
