To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They shave their heads, also in the street, with cold water and no soap. They leave just one lock right on the top or a few long hairs which they stroke and grease most carefully. Each caste of Hindus paints itself with distinctive marks, so that different castes will not touch each other and thus become contaminated. The Chinese here are the fine workmen; they are simply wonderful carpenters, 70 A COLLECTING TRIP etc. One Chinaman will do as much work in one day as a Hindu will do in six. Ever...y board here is sawed out by hand! It takes some time to get a building done, but they use a large number of work- men, very cheap, and get about it that way. Cal- cutta is simply a bit of England very poorly trans- planted into India. It is by far the least interesting city we have struck so far, and the most filthy. There are no real sights in the way of fine temples, etc. , but the vegetation is simply superb and there is a fine Zoo. So all is well. Good bye, love to all.
Your affectionate brother, Tom.
