Fort. Rode down to the hospital & had a look at the progress, X Ray room done & all set up, ground floor
finished but first floor still much to be done, however Snow seemed satisfied. Then to Technical School
which seemed in fine order, boys busy & looking interested, Hutchings very keen - I like him. Back late to
breakfast, various callers, Said ezed, Sh Khalifah b 's son, the drunken father died ten days ago, no loss.
Dictated a lot of letters, N takes them down shorthand, I am going to try & get into the habit of dictating to
him though at first I find it difficult.
Planted seeds hard all afternoon, damp day, rather sticky, cloudy morning, the first rains are overdue.
