Court as usual, but not many cases. Mahmood is ill, said to be quite bad, I fear the result of opium.
Tuesday 3rd June
Fort. Extended order drill, all seemed rather slack, weather somewhat enervating though not really hot, Bara
blowing hard. Shaikhs came, Murray & Alexander called on HH in the office. HH in a poor temper but I got
a lot of things done. Saw Leigh & then to lunch with the Hays to meet a medical man, adviser to Mid East
Bureau in Cairo, used to be in the Sudan, pleasant. The Hay bickered incessantly, all seemed cross with
each other
