Friday 22nd April
Really busy day - no holiday. Spent entire day at Police Station talking to hundreds of people who were
brough in as not having passports - detained about 500 of them at the Fort. Finished the day by paying a
visit to the quarter of the ladies of the town, but though many of them were foreigners they all had
passports.
Saturday 23rd April
Went over to Agency in morning. Busy day.
Dined at Agency & played Bridge till very late. Very sleepy. Deacons & Deanes & Skrimshire there. Rather
a tiresome dinner.
Sunday 24th April
Office in morning.
At the Fort the whole afternoon. Dealt with the two women in murder case, as we have not enough
evidence I released them both - very suspicious but nothing definite. Had the old mare covered. Went to
Idari & had a bathe in the evening, very nice, warm night.
