[[margin]] III-9-36 [[/margin]] I went to town in the morning to mail letters and see the Consul. He offered to write to the Consul in Martinique for information on the cost and places of living. He also offered to lend me an old car of his - Buick for the rest of the week. As my license is for motorcycle only, he wrote a letter to the Inspector-General of Police asking if I might be given another. He also said he would give me letters of introduction to five estate owners to help out. I am to go by in the morning for the letter to the Police and get the car in the afternoon. Started a long letter to Ed.

[[margin]] III-10-36 [[/margin]] At nine o'clock I went to the Consulate, got the letters and then went to Police Headquarters. I found that both the Inspector-General and the Deputy were in the country, and no one knew when they would be back. So I left word for them to phone and came home. At 11:30 [[strikethrough]] p [[/strikethrough]] they phoned, so I went right back down. I waited half an hour for the Deputy and was then taken to the Traffic department by an assistant, and given a license - for 60¢. At four o'clock I went down to meet Mr. Jester, and drove him home in the old Buick. He asked me in and we had lime-squashes.
