I was feeling the effect of yesterday my two I stuffed with
Bros while he cut a Black palm & brought from
a section of the trunk to make a stick. I got nothing
in my traps.

all one day all day. A policeman hauled through
goin' to Mondo about eleven with a few letters for Adamson
only I've found out from him that there was lots of
mail for us including a tin box in the mail lost
by the Recruit Policeman. Any way this is one

needn't expect any more for another fortnight or long.
Brod, Brass & Adamson left and some confusion
as this was a bunch of natives with spears to
sell for a couple of days at Belavito. I went
about 1/3 mile the way to the Daki, when the day
before yesterday on my way back from to the Daki I had
picked up a "Match boy bear" and gathered some
more. On my way down I saw & shot a Negridian
Whip & these is new to the collection. When I
first saw him he was across a gully & with the
glasses I could just make him out, I did not know
what he was as I could not see his belt hat from the way
he bobbed up and down I guessed what he was

me & it was his undoing. Halter sorein sent his
boy over for a lesson in throwing bird comfortable
I had not much for him to learn on but he
succeeded in doing a parrot all right subsequently
Halter, I swear, sent a three months' over $49
request for arsenic & alarmy. I shamed at $500 & might
on set a ratler large for a redish white footed manne
at the edge of the woods.

Another finicky to far $56 + 5'30. I only
went to the end of the trail cause I got mistaken
trail by beside the main trail in the woods a
well kind of set evidently ajourning farm. I had
to root all the manes that Hallop had set
