1880. as I have loved you." Sarah brought her church letter from San Jose, and desired to put it into our church, but her father said "no", and she did it not. Sarah is expecting to go to the General Association this week and she thought if she was received as member here, she might be chosen as delegate from this church, but as her father would not consent, she could not get the honor. (T.S.R. 46. 2 P.M. 80. S.S. 72.)

Oct. 4. Monday. We have received our usual weekly letter from Ida. Ada was there visiting her. As she was not expecting her, it was a pleasant surprise. Mr. Pascoe started for the meeting of the General Association in Oakland. I desired to go, but could not. (T.S.R. 50. 2 P.M. 85. S.S. 73.)

Oct. 6. Wednesday. The weather is cloudy and sultry - has been so for two or three days past. Georgie was playing today and fell in such a way as to hit his forehead on the sharp corner of a brick and cut it very badly. His father served it up. He is always tumbling about and hurting himself. His eyes is now black from falling from a wagon last week. This cut is lower down than the one he had from Frankie's pushing him from the piazza, and a deeper and wider one so will probably leave a worse scar. (T.S.R. 54. 2 P.M. 85. S.S. 74.)

Oct. 7. Thursday. Have written again to Ida. We expected Ada home today and Eddie went with buggy to Lodi for her, but she did not come - sent a telegram that she was too late for the train. (T.S.R. 53. 2 P.M. 74. S.S. 65.)
