This afternoon Ryan McShannon & I walked to Tubas a matter of 5
miles along the very bad road which runs past the station to Jenin.
The village is quite large with some quite well built houses but the
roads are very poor.
I spent the day learning Arabic.
I started to study how to write it today but I fear it will be a long
time before I achieve very much in that direction.
The first case reported to the office since I have been here came in
this morning from the A.D.C. who reported a farmer only notifying the tax
recorder of his ownership of 5 out of 8 cows.
Not a very important case but
something.
Nothing to do in the office today but learn Arabic and straighten my
messing accounts.
The mess is showing a profit up to now which is quite good for a small
establishment.
I learnt more Arabic today otherwise there was very little work.
