"I have seen quite a few Huttees of Burmese design, Instead each with shutters, Arches on the roofs, gilded. Shal cone shaped jalousies, With lattice and bamboo, Still are found here as well as ancient mortared Walls of brick. Coco-palms are a common shade tree about Burma houses but are not used by the English as an ornament. There is a mission for the Katchins, an American Baptist Mission, by Rev. Ingram. The Katchin boys play soccer football every evening on a green opposite the Mission School which has some children of foreigners.
