Transcription Notes
The sight of Sloan lying on a bed covered with burns and black with flies was not refreshing! Maud went to see them after breakfast and gave them (between us) 5 dollars. Called on Mrs Broughton who promised to come and sing to us tomorrow at 1 p.m. In the afternoon we called on Mrs Knuckles — senior & junior — but got nothing whatsoever out of either of them, nor out of Ben Henson whose "holy" brother was there and forbade singing! Last evening we called on Mrs Franklin — husband away — and found the doctors after her again. She having been relieved by them of her appendix, adenoids and tonsils was now suffering from Tb which they had only discovered by X-raying her at Cincinnati. When will the world rise up against this medical enslavement?Location
