(Written at Mexico 26.III) 24.III-17. Temp at
8 a.m. - 14.6, sky thinly overcast, wind
moderate from N.E. Accommoding
wal says outlook is favorable for
our start and Mac agrees with
him. Hence final packing began di
rectly after breakfast. Later mi
ny Munnis'oo helped matters
out by making my two pairs of
old rabbit stockings, which have
done me good service for more than a
year, over into a very good pair for
my trip. About 10-30 this morning
Whineah brought in the third and
last pair of new stockings that she has
been making for me, and my outfit
was complete. She has not been feeling
well on account of digestive troubles for
two or three days, but she is better again
now. Mac will not be able to get away
till tomorrow - All the natives were
in the house this morning and I said
goodbye to them as well as I could,
shaking hands with each. I have come
to like most of them and they have con
tributed to the enjoyment of life at
Ethah. Perhaps I am better friends with
Munnis'oo than with any one else excepts
Megiss'oo, because she has done so much
worse for me the past few months.
