[[line]] Monday Jan 6 [[line]]
Buy 20 more losh from Yagorsha. Feed the dogs. Kurill is out of humor & sorts all day. He wants me to give him rum and I won't do it. It is bad enough to have to give it to the Russians, without demoralizing Indians too. He threatens to leave me if I refuse but will probably think better of it. In any event I refuse, though I could not replace him.
