That's all that was there. I figured from that right off day one that a thermometer was pretty basic to the whole set up. As basic as trays and an enlarger and a safelight. Really! The hard core darkroom people go on and on about thermometers. Some have limited edition hand signed hand numbered versions on a shelf on their wall!
