We are in Marungu proper now--a pretty but steeply-undulating country.

This is the first time in my life I have been carried in illness, but I cannot raise myself to the sitting posture.

No food except a little gruel.

Great distress in coughing all night long; feet swelled and sore.

I am carried four hours each day on a kitanda or frame, like a cot; carried eight hours one day.
