I was awake early and heard
it raining but as I have practically finished my collecting here
at Jesselton, did not mind.
Up at seven and had my
bath and then breakfast, brought
my drinks in the engine house
across the street.
The Clements went to Chinese seris
and I walked down the track
by the eastern house; collected
an ixora and a few ferns; some
fertile grounds of one that I have
looked many times for.
Also looked for shells but only
found three or four.
I had a stiff climb up the
hill through the brakes, and
then followed along on top of the
ridge; got in just before one
and had my bath and changed
clothes. Put some plants in
press and changed drinks
again. Walked up to the business
part of town and bought some
candy. Began a letter to Lina
& Dora and Frances
