The "???? ?????" where you will find mentioned in the Diary is quite a "big pot." He is a Native whose job is to look after visitors and to decide any cases which may arise of servants or tradesmen trying to get more than their fair wages etc. All servants are registered by him & if taken "off the rolls" are liable to be permanently unemployed! So he is a powerful man working "keeping in" with for the Native point of view.
And now I think I have come to the end of this week's budget It is another fat one. The mail leaves here tomorrow night & we leave at 7.0 a.m. so it will be safe if I post it before we go. I will try to let you know we haven't broken our necks in the car ride to ???.
And now may God bless and keep you. My very best love to you both.
Your
???
