text: Back to Cheswalimi. Kohazu and the Goanbura said I had made 40 revenue houses instead of 38. I have had such complaints before on counting and I had the opinion that the Goanburas deduct new remissions from the old total and miss out new houses and so say my counting too many. To test the truth back I went to Cheswalimi with a (24) precipitous climb and found they were right. I went triumphant privately thinking I had caught them out and came back humbled getting fever on the way.
