looked at one of the many villages here at Lemnos We were camped at Mudris west, I had a look at windmill sails crusher then went on to village, it was is quainst place the streets are like a [indecipherable] nest in centre instead of gutters. It seems to me this place to be a land of many coins one can get any mortal coin in circulation I think. In crossing the fields I saw a well I will call it a bush which I thought was a rose tree.
