July 3-9
Mr. Slaughter preached for us ....Go home with sister Betty where I stay until Wednesday. Have a pleasant time. She and I go visiting. One evening we are invited to take tea and eat ice cream at Mrs. Dukes and a very sociable time we had. I spend Wednesday and Wednesday night with cousin Lou. Enjoy being with her once more. Ma and I spend a day together at Orange Dale. I get home Thursday evening .... The dry weather still continues. Get a message from Miss Morril [Carrie Morril had left Virginia and gone north to her home in Bangor, Maine] ] in a letter from her to Lucy Butler about my friend Emily. It amounted to the fact that Emily was still in Africa and would not return to America until failing health obliged her. So far she had been blessed with good health and strength for her work a fact unknown of in all the history of the mission for the first trial of the climate. God watches over and kept his own ....
