Monday 24th June

Rode.

Cool day. last night I had a blanket. Court, a lot of cases, two liquor cases, a row at Berbers, one against
Kermastaji & various others. Didnt gel back till late. Max went to his island taking Khalid, an unpleasant
young Shaikling who they took up when here before. Slept after lunch & drove to see Dick Snow & stayed
for dinner. Ali. my Police motor driver, started mumps. A very great nuisance. I fear I shall get it too,
Narayan, our kitchen boy & now Ali all people one is in contact with have now succumbed to it. The Bara is
still blowing well.
