Dick's birthday but we spent it working - packing. I gave him a bunch of stamps, and later I'll give him a book of Snodgrass'.
I worked pretty hard in the morning as I thought the trunk might have to go by noon. As it turned out it left at 4 o'clock. 
The afternoon was spent resting & fooling around with trying to prove that a man could be 1/6 indian.
Late that afternoon Father 'Zander (Alexander) called and we began a game of bridge which went on after supper and until 10:30. When I came up stairs Dick was in bed with a headache. I do treat my Darling pretty poorly at times - and on his birthday too!

To-day we leave Grenada - much to my sorrow. By 10 o'clock we were all packed and ready to go. In fact we took the 10 o'clock launch. Miss Susan Lawrence (British ^ [[insertion]] Ind. [[/insertion]] Labor Party) was on the launch with us. It was good to be on the "Nerissa" again!

We arrived about 4:30 and after much discussion etc. with boatmen we finally were rowed ashore at a great speed - total cost 5/
There were 2 celebrities on board. Miss Susan Lawrence - I've mentioned her before - and his Excellency the Governor. There was a great to do about the Governor getting off (Grier I believe is the name). The shore was lined with soldiers and policemen and they fired a salute of 17 guns for him. 
Mr Davis of the Pelican hotel met us at the Customs house. As per usual our bags were not opened. 
When we arrived at the hotel we were not able to get a room at once, as they were rather filled. However another couple was going out this evening so we waited for their room. The hotel is nice and clean, and the food good. 
We worked a Crossword & went to bed early. I felt pretty sleepy after doing nothing much of anything
