                  Sat July 24.  Harold went out to get some final supplies for the culinary dept – and to get the new guns stamped. In the meantime I worked over my negatives and started a letter home. Later in the morning I went forth and called on Mr. Denis. He told me that Shaumberg took over 50 thousand feet of film and had two men taking and developing for him. We talked about the care of films etc but really accomplished very little because he was on the official rather than mechanical staff.

                  Hal & I then set to work to ship out his film. It takes first an invoice of absolutely everything in the box with its value.- the cost of boxing the freight expenses down to the last detail. All markings on the box must be noted for identification – Four of these are made & must all be signed by the american consular office. Then we took all that to Frazer at the Firestone office to do the rest. A very tedious procedure.

                  In the afternoon we wrote letters until about 500 when Hal & I went over to the British Embassy to say au revoir to the Mills family. In th They let out a while bush cat which we subsequently chased around the house for half an hour before we could get it recaged. At one time he climbed up the mosquito netting over one of the beds and spent his time running from side to side of the hammock like top. We were told that he was comparatively tame but I doubt it.

                  And once more in the evening I developed.
