Jan 17 - Not quite so cold. Suffer some from cold at night. Evg. a wash and a precious letter from Ella. All well.
Jan 18 - Fair and thawing. a.m. bible readings in hospital and distributed tracts. p.m. preached to contrabands. A novel sight. About 300. At 4 to [?] new Episcopal church. Eve a prayer meeting.
Jan 19 - Very hoarse and some sore throat after so much talking yesterday. Rained all day till 3 p.m. L. Whitney called. Col. says perhaps I cannot go home in February. Disappointed but feel reconciled. Write Ella. A man in hospital asked me to pray with him which I did.
