Maj. Ben Hollero, DQM of 9th MD is here today with Capt. Nolan. They are rabid anti-puppets and pro-statehood elements. Maj. Hollero is a great fellow.
I found PA officers here respectable, dignified and intelligent. They are broad minded and strongly condemn abuses of soldiers. They heard unfavorable information about the PA in Panay.
E.J. comes to see us almost every day bringing one sort of thing or another. He is a fine and affectionate fellow.
We eat good fish here. It is fresh. Fat crabs are also in our menu for two days already.

I am happy to know that I have a following here in Negros.
Dr. Jose Locsin has made a fool of himself by condemning the guerrilla here in Negros.
