Dear old Mrs,
I have written a long letter to you to London, I addressed it London as I thought you might not get it at any of the intermediate ports. I am sending this to Capetown, Tenerife, Plymouth & London. It is just to tell you that we are landing here, that we will be quartered at Mena House near Cairo & that we will probably be here for about two months. The No 2 Gen. Hosp. is to be at Mena House, a large hotel quite close to the Pyramids. The other hospital units are to be quartered at different places near Cairo. I have been feeling tip top but am at times very homesick. Fred also is A1. I hope you have had a good & pleasant trip & that you are all A1. I received your letters dated 9 & 15.12.14 the latter with the cutting about the vomited lettuce slug & the message from Mrs. Langer owen.
Best love from
Yr loving old man
Will
