I went over to the beach this aeme to see the Gommissaire
and make arrangments to get Quanga (chop) for my boys.
He willingly let me have it so I get 50 Quangas every 4
days - the Congo week is 4 days. Liminges or Sunday -
Masi Ezali Tates Za

1 - Lumbu 2 - Lummbu 3 - Lumbu 4 - then a reppetition -
they hold a market in a district & each place for the
market is one day & they also give the name of the day
on which that market ig held - the name of that place -
for instance the market is held here at Leopoldville
today - the native name of the place is Kintane - so the
name of the day is Kintamo Markets are always held ovt
on a big epen place under a large tree + not in the towns.
After making arrangments with commissaire I came back &
counted out 250 pieces of brass wire that they call
Ntaku - these I gave for my 50 Quangas. Kept at work
