text: Quite a good camp has been put up for me on the place in front of the Ang's house. My tent therefore I have dragged along unnecessarily. At night I sit together with the Ang at a fire burning between the two stone seats, myself on the Mon Ang's seat, he on the other one. The Ang is a good and willing informant but his Assamese is insufficient and for any conversation exceeding the most primitive I need the dobashi Chingai.
