text: (30) Camp Panso 5/12/1936
text: In the morning which was cool and sunny nothing of significance occured. Mills had nothing more to do in the village and I for myself could not demand as large an escort as is needed here. Already since the day before yesterday the Panso men had promised to dance in our honour but as it takes a long time in large villages without a leading authority to bring a decision to its execution this had so far remained a promise.
