Misses C., W., Ma Sein Tha, Ma Thwait and Bolo
returned from Bhamo today after a very pleasant
and successful trip from all accounts. I had to
give Boy three rupees with which to buy sufficient
breakfast for us all at Bazaar this morning.
Got a belated I. J. which I read, though one side
was covered with postmarks, so there's no telling
where all it had been. This aft., having done up all
the odd jobs, I recommenced that long-defer-
red [long-deferred] typewritten letter (so I can make a number
of copies at once) home; finished one page and
almost the 2nd before dinner, after which
meal I completed the page, and then corrected
all the 1st pp. before going to bed. It sprinkled
last night a little while about bedtime, and
was cloudy all day, as it has been a good part of
the time today; consequently it is very sultry &
I perspire freely, something I've never done to a
great extent, but I supposed I may expect it out
here. I wanted to mail my letters today but didn't
get off from school, as shall probably have to do,
for the branch p.o. only keep open in the
middle of the day from about ten to four.
Mr. Ah Sou brought me "The Silken East" but as
it is a large & heavy volume I'll leave it at
the Guest House till I see about moving. Now
