Dominica 9.

V-31-36 Sunday. This week has passed incredibly fast, but very little has been accomplished. I had thought to ride up the Imperial Road, but didn't. The day turned out perfect, and not too hot. Both the S.S. Lady Nelson from the north and the S.S. Lady Drake from the south came in early. We got some mail from each: from Don Frizzell, Howard Hinton, and Ruth's friends on the former, and have Stanley John on the latter. He reports the recovery of my fountain pen and will send it soon.
The boy brought some more stamps yesterday, but we cut our price way down. He still accepted. I've been preparing new albums for our West Indian stamps, but can't do much more till we get some more hinges.
Wrote a three-page letter to Ed., with the latest monthly report. Haven't heard from him for more than a month. Don't even know whether he has actually sent the microscope.
VI-1-36 First Day of Second Year at Scholarship. Whitson (?) holiday. Spent the day wishing that the Post Office and Customs were open. I worked on stamps quite a bit. The S.S. Ingrid came in from the south, but of course we won't know till tomorrow whether she brought any mail. We're expecting several packages but are afraid to have them come here, where we'll have to pay duty.
