Rode, went to the Fort to see about some things. Didnt go to court as I had a lot of accumulated work.
drove down the bazaar & then to a big cocktail party at the Agency given by G.P., rather hot & very v
Finished the Annual Report - a very dull one but I can now gel into the new 10 years one. Saw various
"“ill

Tuesday 14th May

Rode round by the Palace & Airways, the foundations of the extension are done. Saw tents at airways which
have been entirely spoilt by neglect, about 60 of them. Shaikh stayed from 9 till 12.40. Dick came &
discussed all his medical ideas - rather I did the talking & Dick sat & smiled. Then HH discussed buying
property in Bombay, the future of India & then his own finances which was trying. Before, I told him I had a
letter from Max that he was coming here. Cochrane came in & had tea with us, now on a case against the
Baluch doctor who seems to have poisoned a man. A committee meeting about the club - it all bores me but
I have to show interest. Warm weather but not too bad.
