About Montevideo on way to Maldonado: 
Country is like Kansas prairies, flat and undulating, but very nice and 
green, and, though flat, well watered. Trees appear in clumps (grove*) and 
may have been just planted. People, the common people, seem more upstanding 
than run of Brazilians, or do I imagine it? 
Felippone is Italian, of what did he say, 18 years here? Old sea captain 
was out, has bridge on house. 
Day hot as blazes. 
Boys and many men run around all day with long linen dusters or smocks 
of duck.

Returned to hotel from Maldonado at 11.30, left again at 12.30 for trawler. 
Net was put over in a.m., but I was sleeping too soundly. At hotel night before 
I only slept from 2.00 to 4.35, didn't wake me until 25 rains, of 4, so I am 
thankful I did lose sleep nightbefore, shave and everything before I went to 
bed. It made me miss a couple of good townet hauls in a.m.
