1945

Highwood arrived in the morning & came in to see me, he seemed somewhat reluctant to stay with Rupe.
Lewis came in also to fix up about going down the town to see the Muharran show. H knows Gent very well
& brought messages from him. Busy day in the office as everyone seemd to want to get things done before
the holidays. A bit of a row between a Negdi & Bahrani at a matems which caused some fuss, Said Seyd got
very excited about it & he & the others came to see me about it after dinner.

Friday 21st November

The Agency had a party in the morning to celebrate the royal wedding, usual sort of affair, on the veranda,
only one American came though Hay had put a notice in the local paper of open invitation.

Indian sloop in, HH wrote saying he couldnt call on PR as he had a cold - I fear he didnt want to, he went out
hunting instead.

Dinner party at the Agency, very heavy affair, played Bridge, quite good Bridge but it went on much too long
& we didnt get home till one oclock.
