round - with the pea

I had breakfast at the deaf school according
to schedule, but was late (as I had to whiten my
[shoes?], in the interval after languages and my
going, so they would be sufficiently dry to put in
my suitcase) so they had sat down ere I appear-
ed. They had the oil & vinegar in readiness, a huge
cucumber - which I divided with Miss Campbell,
cheese, etc., of which they knew me to be fond. Af-
terwards I explained the charts to these three, and
then got passes and directions about the trip.
Went back to the Guest House where I had to get out
my thermos bottle from the bottom of my trunk
in order to carry water on the trip; this also ne-
cessitated my repacking; took my bath, redressed,
wrote a note of acceptance to the [G. W.?]; and cards
to Mrs. C. in Vancouver; Joesphine in Chatta-
nooga; Alvia in Louisville. Miss Davis & Wilson
were both away, so suppose they went out some-
where together. Paid Joseph to date on my way
out; got a letter from Mrs. Latta which I stop-
ped to read, & thus missed the train I expected to
take, so had a wait of twenty minutes. When I
reached the big station Ma Sein Tha was greatly
relieved as she had taken all her things out of
the carriage for fear I would not arrive. There
was a dotty in the same section with us, and
aside from the fact that she smoked and
drank and had a dog, she was quite nice,
she loaned me her newspaper. We were nearly ready
for bed when we reached Pegu but here we all

bought some refreshments, tho Ma S. J. had a
tiffin carrier
for each of us.

We nearly froze last night as that woman
kept one of the windows open without the
sutter being drawn, all night; I, alas! got the
full force of it more than any one else. She got
off at Thazi to go to Kalaw, a four hour ride.
After getting dressed we had chota about 7,
while she got hers at a station where they stop-
ped for about 25 minutes for this purpose.
Later for breakfast we each bought some
prawns, fish eggs, etc., in addition to the in-
dispensable
