Office & Court. A very big liquor case.

Spent an hour up at the Fort after lunch starting work on the pony which we are breaking in. Quite difficult.

Cocktail party at Agency, about 150 people, indoors as too cold for the garden. Quite a good party, all sorts
including bits & pieces. Afterwards went back to dinner with the Thornburgs. He showed his movies,
coloured of Muharram. Very good indeed. Deacon & Mrs Poland came in after dinner, the Murrays were
staying there. Pleasant evening.

Wednesday 6th April

Agency for about two hours on various business - nothing special. Murray came in, stayed rather a long
time.

Tennis & Bridge. Very few people, somewhat gloomy.

Thursday 7th April

Fort. Started training the little chestnut as well as our own colt. The chestnut is evidently much more

intelligent & needed very little coaxing to do his bit. I am badly behind with Annual Report.

Mr Ashraf called, interesting on the subject of the Meglis ... especially the Resident.
