Fort

Sunday 11th April

Shaikh A came in, later Sulman went over to to Agency to say goodbye to
G.P, I left him there & came back as I was busy in office. GP looked in
for one moment on his way to the pier.

Saw Ib Hoona re a boat which sunk, which carried smuggled gold, & various
other persons.

K Steele came to see M & spent two hours here telling her that she & Bill
contemplated parting company.

Rode with M.G, Merkh. Large party at Daltons, 16 people, played Bridge,
quite a pleasant evening.

Monday 12th April

Fort.

Didnt go to court as too busy but HH came in & discussed what GP had said
to him - very freely, he said he apologised for the letter he wrote to
Hamed - said how well everything was going on now and then asked for
money for the F Fund, Sulman was not at all pleased & said it was not a
good time for collecting money to go outside and many in Bn were
starving. Spent most of morning writing report on Food Control for
Annual Report.

Went over to Agency after driving in Mhq & saw Mrs W, had a good gossip,
mostly re G.P. He was in bed & didnt see him.
