Office in the morning. Saw Ahmed Omran Tunnicliffe & others. Rather a tiring morning, several people
seemed so tiresome. Saw Nair about his father coming to live in the hostel. Went to sleep after lunch, a gray
cloudy heavy day, not very pleasant. In the afternoon we took the Bishop out to call on HH down on the
plain where he was practising his ponies for the races, he seemed in a poor temper, sat there for some time,
the horses look very fit. Then called on the Leslie Smiths, I had to see him about the races, they have a nice
house & are keen gardeners, then to the R Browns, who were out & then called on the Marshes, she is a
frightful young person of the housemaid class. M saw the twins then dined with Thompson in the Mess Hall,
an excellent dinner. Also present B.T. & a Miss Smith who works in the hospital, quite a pleasant young
person. Got back fairly early.
