SUMMARY:

It would not be right to go, so he won't move. The chances are he will die before long and that will be thanks to these blasted lamas. The plains of Assam were very clear today, we looked down on them and away across toward the Brahmaputra, which however was not visible.
25th November. Diwangiri. Fine. Back again to Diwangiri. Found Ludlow very fit and very busy with a last effort at birds, with which he has done well these last two weeks. And now for a final rush of packing up for Kashmir. All the servants, Jill and ourselves very fit.
