text: (68) Borjan 25/9/1936. This morning I rode up to Kongan where I met the gaonburas just as they were leaving the village. Due to a misunderstanding they had thought that Mr Castles was coming to the outpost and had just started in order to greet him there with salaams. Now they stayed with me and I had immediately acquired four good informants. They all speak Assamese well.
