text: It has been very cold during the last two days at Paplongmai where I found ice about 72 [sic] inches thick on my "Chilamchi" inside the tent, and it is bitterly cold again here tonight and I fancy we shall have the ice thicker than ever, indeed I should not be surprised if we had a fall of snow ere long.
