Tues 16. [16 July 1907] We were off at a little after 3 - it was quite cool.
The sun struck the hilltops just as we started but it did not become hot
till seven or eight. A little cultivation in the plain soon after the Khan,
then it stopped and did not begin again till we were almost into Konia
[Konya (Iconium)]. We came in by the Tekke and went to a khan
where we left the carts and F [Fattuh] and I got into a victoria and
drove to the Consulate. Got there about 10.30. The Wylies asked me
to stay an invitation I accepted with joy. Sat talking and reading letters
till lunch, then washed and dressed. Mr Callander, Prof C's brother
appeared and a dull man who is with them Kennedy by name. We all
sat out in the garden and had tea. Lˆytved also appeared and
stayed to dinner. Captain DW very bad with indigestion and ....... He
went to bed before dinner. Lˆytved stayed talking till 11. So gladly to
bed but found indoors very stuffy.
