(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.
