This day [at] noon we parted with May Walling. She takes the steamer for America at four p.m. I shall miss May very much, but it was essential that she should go, for her father has instituted a suit against me for setting his children against him, which is entirely false. 9LtMs, Ms 98, 1894, par. 1

Addie and May Walling must be witnesses in court, to give testimony against the charges as entirely untrue. Now it seems as though someone were dead. May the Lord keep May on the long passage upon the Pacific Ocean, that she shall reach her destination in safety is my prayer. 9LtMs, Ms 98, 1894, par. 2
