Scope and content
SUMMARY:
Rain and an injured companion (Nyudup) force halts, while a man from H.H. delivers a large box of tinned supplies. Letters mention fishing in Ha and Richardson’s note that Ludlow should have little difficulty making a final visit to Tibet; little botanical progress is made despite searches with Pasang. Mail is sent to Kpong, Betty, H.H., and Wangmoo, and the party marches 7 miles to Dunkhar hoping for fine weather to reach Thu.
CONTENT:
there is another village close to. Rain again this evening.
5th May. Halt. A fine day, lovely morning, till 5.0 pm when the
rain came on again. No flowers, although we went high up
the hillside - open oak forest. But I must stay yet another
day as Nyudup has got a poisoned foot & can't walk. This
afternoon a man from H.H. arrived with a huge box (70 lbs)
of tinned things! I don't know how to stop him. We have all
we need here with us, & now he has sent nearly half as
much again. It is very very kind. Tobgye sent on a letter
from Ludlow to him, in which he describes the fishing in
Ha as quite wonderful. He also sends Richardson's latest
letter in which it seems there will be little difficulty in
Ludlow getting in his last visit to Tibet. That is a good thing
for Ludlow. With H.H.'s present came a mail from Kpong
13th April, but little news in my part of it. I hear H.H. has
sent on even more to Betty than to me. We must stop this
somehow.
6th May. Halt. Fine again up till 2.0 pm then clouded & some rain.
Pasang & I tried another direction this morning, but we failed
to find anything. The last week hasn't produced more than
15 specimens I believe. We must get on up. Mail to Kpong
& to Betty & H.H. & Wangmoo all go off tomorrow morning.
7th May. Dunkhar 7 miles. Another fine day. I just hope that we
will have three more fine days. It would make a lot of
difference could we but get into Thu or wherever it is we
are to stay on a fine day, when we can see where we
are going. From here we get some idea, but not much.
