14 Attended the band
concert at Eden gardens
at sunset. This is a
favourite resort for all
classes of society at dusk.
The British stops there in
his ruster with his wife &
family or their pet dogs if
[illegible] children are wanting.
Native nurse girls with their
European charges are here
in numbers & some
Bengalese also as Indians!
& Europeans predominating.
The gardens are well arrayed
with lawns, trees flowerbeds
& a lake. Here I saw
a Burmese pagoda brought
[illegible] from Burma, this
a natural teak temple
consisting of a series of peaked
roof one described above
another.
