'I have just come from seeing Dr. Tom. More medicines! We had a very long talk and when we came out to the waiting room there was an old patient of his—Sister somebody, I didn't catch the name, reading "My Life in Sarawak". "Oh what an interesting book!" she said, and "I take a particular interest in Sarawak because my parents knew the first Rajah". I have got the Blue Book with the full debate on Plumage second reading, should you want to read it.'
