present tooms are not only leaking but in danger of collapsing any moment.

Fort. Very busy morning in the office. Went a long drive in the afternoon by Awali to Senned & back by
Sakhrir. The country unusually green & looking at its best, though rather misty. In the evening we had the
Nixs & Phillips & DG to dinner, played Bridge, had some quite good Bridge.
