COIGNE to Subject asthe next meeting was set for Wednesday 27 Julyat the corner of Puebla and Jalan streetsSubject claimed that he had relatives in townand told to keep his notes up to date. He had very littleto add and was instructed to make every effortto keep his notes on a daily basis. During the meeting onSubject rejected that I was leaving and that Pablowould be acting his in the future. Subject said absolutelyto stop and continue talking about another topic.

Nevertheless, it was a point that always bothered meand I wanted to make it a matter of record.(From his written notes)Saturday, 24 June.

Subject went to pick up some bottles andheard them speak to each other in English.
