Dec. 19th . . . Attended school at 5 in the morning, 230 adults present, 182 males, 48 females. Having only 5 teachers these are all that I could manage. It is an interesting sight to see persons of all ages learning to read the Word of God, the only book they have. Passed the day principally in attending to the sick and writing and studying the language. Have felt better in health today and yesterday. Oh Lord make me grateful for all Thy favour I pray Thee. Wrote to dear Charles by way of America. Had a visit from a surgeon living in the neighbourhood.
