18th October. The Rajmisteri who has undertaken to execute the repairs to the Rest House came in this evening, but he says he cannot get any lime in Golaghat so I suppose I must burn some for myself. I stayed in to-day so as to look after the Carpenters whom I have engaged to put up a nice plank partition with wooden doors and windows instead of the nasty dirty ekra now standing. |
