I never hope to meet. The women do all the work. carrying great loads on their heads. or by means of a strap tied around the forehead. The men are war- wife. riots. Five cows will buy an excellent and often two. and the more wives a man has the more wealth he claims. since the wo- men till the fields. and look after the grass huts. and everything.

My space is up. I wish you all well in your first year book. ani proud of your record in school and sport, and have much enjoyed my work on the Board. to carry on. as we Britishers have a way of doing.
