[[underlined]]April 14th Monday[[/underlined]]

The mosquitos were pretty bad all night but "dope" did help; tied pants [[strikethrough]]to[[/strikethrough]] down about sock tops to keep pests out of bottom end. Put a rain coat over bare skin above, because shirts were wet and even wet undershirt was too hot & steaming to tolerate under rain coat which I had to button to neck to keep mosquitoes out. My white hat was soaking wet too so to protect head put my piece of towelling over it tucking it well around head and over ears so that I could bearly see under front edge, and just tip of nose stuck out. Over bare hands folded a cross chest I laid my kaki shirt to keep mosquitoes of them; top edge of shirt was pulled over chin & tucked about neck to meet  towel. Even so the mosquitoes were troublesome, as it seemed at least, I woke up almost every 15 mins to put more dope on edges of rag (towel & shirt) on tip of nose chin, cheeks & hands, cheeks must have been a bit sunburned because dope stung a bit & once I got some in eye also put some in.
