you need do is go to the commissare & explain to him and
have my number added to your license. No cost attached
to it. I sent 250 cartriges along with it - they might
net have been in the same box, but I think they were. I
sent you some writing paper by Sheppard I have been
writing quite plainly about things which I have heard
about our Bro. V. His mother wants him to be called home.
I have been vetoing all along the boat. I know you won't
like it but by & by you will - I have sold out at Tumba
and will establish myself at Stanley Fool. Bro. V. won't
like that but I can't help it. I am running things here
just as though I was doing business for a big firm. The
Lord is my boss and I am doing the best I can for His
cause and the Missions good. Mrs. Crowley sends love
with me. Yours in Christ Crowley

Monday July 18 - 1898

Nothing much of importance happened during the day -
except that chemin de fer co. began tearing down the
buildings which were put up for the inauguration - todays
train brought us a letter from Flora and one from Mrs.
Wright - a card from Mr. Inslu, a nice leng letter from
the Ladies Aid Society of our church in Monroe La. and
three nice views of same 1 exterior & 2 interior views all
exceedingly nice & lovely - and the nicest letter to us
beth. I also had a book of $.S. Lessons from Flora. But
last of all I had very sad news - a letter from my dear
little sister, stating that Mother had gone to sleep in
Jesus on the goth of May. It was very hard sad news, but
the Lord giveth & the Lord taketh away and all that we can
do cannot bring back the Loved one - so I had to become
reconciled at once - and oh, at this time above all times
it is so good to have Sophie my own dear love with me.

She is such a comfort. Good night with Gods blessings -
