8/11 House costs 1,000 TL (i(0155 Ibrahim Isk))

5/11-7/11 Milk - wouldn't accept 40k - wanted 50k; for two {days?} "the cow was ill" and I got none; then at last I agreed to take half a kilo at 22.5k a
day. Later they all say I can have milk free.
{c: The only advice I had been given - and that not by anthropologissts - was not to appear to be a fool about money. General line - they are not as poor as
they tell you. My milk family was very poor, and I am ashamed of this tightness. I did it in the cause of keeping their respect. No evidence that they thought
I was immoral to be mean, but now it looks awful }.
8/11 Oil made from izgin, zerek {?seeds, of what}; remains fed to animals.
i(0244 Emin Talasl). been hare-hunting - no rabbits here - foxes
