Finished "Ann" this a.m.; we all slept late, however,
as we did not retire till after ten & Miss C. did not get
in till 3 a.m. - to the consternation of the girls down-
stairs [downstairs], so says Miss N. After a warm bath - using the
water brought for " [Miss N.] but she had gone to morn.
service at the Meth. Ch., going thru my physical ex-
ercises [exercises], & doing up several odd jobs as I got dressed.
I went over to their house & left the prints for Misses
B. & T., then took the train to Euseire, where I arrived, a-
bout [about] 11 o'clock to find the R's at the breakfast table;
Went up stairs where I left tophe & umbrella, got
a pebble out of my shoe, combed up my hair,
washed my hands, etc., & then joined them at the
table. Later we merely sat & talked, Dr. R. & the 3 boys
being in & out; shortly after 2 we had tea; while
later, after being shown over the house, I went
over to speak to the McGuires, the missus inviting
me out to spend the day Tues.; & then to the Marshalls
as the mister had called to me as I came in that he
had some pictures to show me. There I saw several
letters from Adoniram Judson & a book that once
belonged to him, etc. John went with me to the
station where I got the 5:05 train; after paying
for the 9 prints I ordered I only had enough to buy
a 3rd class ticket, so I went into the ladies only,
which I had all to myself a part of the way, & then
a Eurasian mother & daughter got on - & no one else.
They've taken off the 3rd class European carriage-
too bad for the poor missionaries! Met the teachers
& children going to the train with Ma Jessie who was

leaving for a week's vacation; she has another
later on, possibly in the fall. Misses C & T. just leaving
for the Pres. Ch.

June 5, 1922 - Monday

Slept till 7 this a.m. Spent most of the day in letter
writing so as to catch the house mail; sent cards
to Mrs. Reckett, Mary Reid, Josephine, Cousin Kate, Dr. [?]
and a business firm; letters to Basden & Co., Cousin
Joe, the Pettus girls, Mrs. Eberhart, the What-so-ever class,
Lucile, Miss Chapman, Emma & Irene; cards also to Mrs. Shoemaker &
Mrs. Leuts[?], thanking them for their birthday greetings.
Rained after tea time just when we wanted to go out.
Miss C. & I called on Mrs. G., however, about 6:30 remain-
ing [remaining] till our dinner time; we heard her husband's
voice but didn't see him as he was getting ready
for a jungle trip; Mrs. S.S. came up awhile before we
left; she's had a terrible time with an eye; Mrs G.
was hand-sewing on a filmy yoke for a night gown.
She loaned me "If Winter Comes" so I began it after
dinner and read nearly 50 pp.; too soon yet to tell how
I'll like it. Had expected to go to town today but too busy
with my writing. washed out a couple of corset covers,
a union suit & my shoe rag. Asked for hot water
last eve, but didn't get it, so didn't mention it again;
Miss N. is very forgetful. Po May complaining of a pain in
her chest, so they'll send for Dr. Kingsley tomorrow.
Forgot to send the bamboo chain in the Pettus letter,
didn't get off one to Katharine; must send a card to Mary
Port. Haven't had time to begin my little sweater but
hope to do so tomorrow when visiting with Mrs. McGuire;
must go to De S's & the press. Found out something of Mr.
Fisher from Mrs. G; she called him "a pet." Hope the
English mail comes early this week; there was a no-
tice [notice] in about it last Friday. I've got some more wash-
ing [washing] to do tomorrow. The girls have returned my British
Empire no. of the Lit.Dig. I'll lend them the Y.C. Asia
& Missions in the a.m. Must send Dr. C's book to him.
