We had now beautiful
weather; and while I prepared for the homeward march, the Doctor
was busy writing his letters, and entering his notes into his
journal, which I was to take to his family. When not thus
employed, we paid visits to the Arabs at Tabora, by whom we were
both received with that bounteous hospitality for which they are
celebrated.
