        This has been a very rainy day & I am told it is typical keitei weather. I went to Mr. Gray's this morning & spent the whole day there; after 5:00 o'clock I had tea & talked with Mr. Gray & also stopped for a few minutes with Mr. OlMeyer; from both these men I get much information which I am sure will be of value to me. I have been going over my outfit & getting things packed ready to start for the Beweaw when Dolah comes from Singapore which is liable to be most any time within a week. This evening I am developing a half dozen plates exposed about a week ago.

      I have an itch that at times almost makes me frantic; I hope it won't last long. I did many errands and got some traps and took them to Mr. Olmeyer's & he caught me some rats. This afternoon I put my skins out to dry & scived down the skin of a munyit & a mesung & talked to Mr. Gray at the same time & when I came back to Pasang Grahan, found a couple of birds here from Mr. Spaan & after dinner skinned them & three rats & it was very late when I got to bed.
