| Summary: | Page 238 1910. Aug. 14. Sabbath. No preaching - other services as usual. We had Eddie again to dinner. News from his family at Seabright tell of Marie down with malarial fever, while here she seemed the strongest of all. (T.S.R. 57. 2 P.M. 92. S.S. 79.) Aug. 15. Monday. Elizabeth went to Stockton to meet a cousin and family lately come from Kentucky for a short visit. Received letter from Theresa and Post-Card from Mrs. Shaw and wrote to Eureka.
