Received a letter from Theresa. She is still in Lane Hospital. Susie Pascoe is today nineteen years old - my eldest grandchild. She was to have united with the First Cong.l Church of Eureka today with others, but during these late dreadful storms and floods, water had in some way gotten into the basement of the church where the furnaces are for heating the building, and there could be no fires built today, so the communion service was postponed for two weeks or more. Whenever it occurs, she intends to unite with others to the number of ten or more. This is good news indeed. (T.S.R. 36. 2 P.M. 49. S.S. 38.)

They are highly appreciated. Wrote to children in the East. A sad accident happened to father Allen which we fear will prove fatal. Last night he was riding with Fred on a farm wagon. Fred was sitting on the seat and driving while his father stood up behind him. They came in collision with a barbed wire strung across Fred Figge's alley in such a way that Fred received a hard blow and his father was knocked off the wagon to the ground and was picked up unconscious. Since then he is almost entirely paralyzed, having motion only in one arm and that only partially. A council of doctors has given but small hope of his recovery. We learn also that Amos W.
