Sat.
Dec. 4 I was up at 6.10 and had my
tea and toast and then breakfast
at 7.30. At eight I went up
over the hill and dropped down
into the garden patch where Mrs.
bloemers and I made one day; I
collected 3 relegirellas, 3 ferns, one
pipe work, an umbellum shrub and
a banhina; was very tired when
I got back. Push some clothes
and specimens out in the sun
and they had some bread & milk.
Began my general packing, then
ground away at specimens some
more. Went up town and after
tea I began packing up my
specimens for good; finished
them up and had my belt
before seven.
I constantly have the fear
that the Bloemers will come
on to Jerusalem and go back
on the same boat with me.
I wrote up any notes &
planned to go to the P.O. with
some letters but the electric light
[illegible] went to bed at 9.
