Three Months of My Life

A pocket-book diary recounts a three-month visit to Kashmir and adjacent stations undertaken for the writer's health, offering daily entries that blend travelogue, scene-setting, and personal reflection. The narrator records journeys between garrison towns, practicalities of camp and hotel life, encounters with companions and local assistants, and small pastimes such as fishing and purchasing curios; medical concerns and fluctuating spirits recur throughout. Entries shift between jocular anecdote and sober introspection, presenting an episodic, intimate portrait of landscape, routine duties, and the inner life of a traveler writing chiefly for family while preserving immediate impressions.
