I had rather thought as had Pearson that he & I would have to do some travelling round to see various people & give them their presents but the A[byssinian]'s are very suspicious towards us like anything, & they dont want us to separate at all.

Regarding the mail he writes: 'There are 2 armed men with it, but they say that these are more a temptation to brigands to capture than a safe guard. [.] In this country every one is a thief, & afraid of his neighbours, & people are put into chains or beaten for very little or no reason at all, except that the chief feels so inclined to do. As the Head does, so do each of his successive grades of leadership, oppressign & extorting.' THREE: 2pp., 4to. Regarding work on his house at Roseires, and its garden. FOUR: 2pp., 4to.
