Fri.
Dec. 3 I was awake early and up before
daylight, had my tea and work
in my balcony; furred a little
with plants, had breakfast at 7.30
and took the 8 o'clock train to Victoria
Barnes, walked by the new course
and collected a lot of the Blechnum
in the swamp and then around
through the rubber plantations and
saw the sap (latex) running, then
came around by Mr. Roberts house
which was shut up, ran to catch
a train and then found I was an
hour off in looking at my watch
Got home never after ten, put some plants
out in the sun & then had my cup
of crackers and milk. After tiffin
I went down the sea shore after a
Lindraya and found a little fern, a
something like a Lepidodendron. Put my
plants in press before tea. Had some
heavy rains in the P.M. The Mission
School teacher brought back two films
with 11 failures. Wrote a little
more in my letter to the Chaplain,
Wrote up my sister and then
to lid, a very tired individual.
