[[preprinted]] [[double line]] Tuesday, January 4, 1910 [[line]] [[/preprinted]] I got a piano over here from P.H. today. but the damned thing is so badly out of tune that it's positively painful to play it. I shall have to cart it back tomorrow. Writing out those quarterly accounts again today. Inshallah, I have it before me only two, perhaps three times more! [[end page]] [[start page]] [[preprinted]] [[double line]] Wednesday, January 5, 1910 [[line]] [[/preprinted]] The Club gave a farewell dinner to Macdonald tonight. The old Doe has been out here twenty years without going home once, which I guess is a second for equatorial Africa. Dang me if I'd want to camp out here that long. It's me for the little old USA. some bright mornin' next Octoby, and I don't keer who knows it. The chikula was more or less punk, also the speeches. I enjoyed getting my forty point off Besseling, after dinner, more than anything else.
