Nov. 25
Thanksgiving Day. I was stirring
early this morning and after an
early breakfast I finished up my
packing and chaplain, and Mrs. Clemens
came down the trail a little way at 7.30
as I said my farewell to them.
Even the whole world gave me a farewell
Would love to live a year at Kiam
if I could be alone. It has been
a bright and beautiful day and
I went dropped down the mountain
with my boy and six coolies (3 misty)
crossed the river high up the stream
and came into Kiam a different
way from which we work up: more
attractive. Reached K. at 10.15 and had
a little lunch and a smoke. Then
I packed changed my dress
out in the sun, collected a
few ferns, two new ones as
far as I can tell and that her
made up my day.
Somehow there is a slily that I
am alone. Had a dinner of rice
and sardines. I lovely myself on
Kiam-Bala, like the "Kelpine Blows" and
then to bed never after dark.
