Whenever there is any indent of any permits to be made or any report to be submitted , it should be done at 11.30 a.m. and no later . At 7 p.m. , after the evening paper has been burnt , I shall come to each place in person to hold an inspection ; and on my return , the servants on watch for the night will hand over the keys . The next day , I shall again come over at 6.30 in the morning ; and needless to say we must all do the best we can for these few days ; and when the work has been finished your master is sure to recompense you .
