SUMMARY:
At Chayul, the diarist notes poor weather and that Danang and Tendru have not yet arrived. The Dzongpen kindly arranges to send mail to Tsona, while Tsongpen is unwell for translation work. The following day is a fine halt day; mail is dispatched early, expected to reach Tsona by the 4th and Ludlow around the 10th, while the party still awaits Danang and company.
CONTENT:
31st October. Chayul. Rain during last night, & cloudy all day with a strong cold wind up the valley. Danang & Tendru have not arrived yet. The Dzongpen is very kind, & is arranging to send a mail on from here to Tsona. I don't know, he has his doubts, whether Tsona will send it on at once, but I hope so. We have not met today, as Tsongpen hardly feels up to the translation work with a Dzongpen. Mail leaves tomorrow morning.
1st November. Chayul. Halt. Stayed in camp, a very boring day. Danang & Co have not arrived, but I don't think they will be later than tomorrow, the arranged date. If they are, it means they must have been held up for transport. Today was a perfect day. It rained a little in the night, & there was snow very low down. For the first time yet, the wind blew down the valley, & this is the best sign of the end of the monsoon we have had. Not a cloud in the sky this evening. The mail went off this morning before 6.0, & the man will reach Tsona on the 4th midday. At that rate it should reach Ludlow about the 10th Nov.
