[Sunday 9 April 1916]
Am fast forgetting all about the Peninsular as I have forgotten Elands River & past droughts. What a happy thing it is we can do so.Severe Khamsin or Monsoon, Dust storm, like a good Riverina Dust storm. Enclose more snaps of Nile etc. (I am not likely to forget you Mother.)I have come to the conclusion the Egyptians are SNOBS, when introducing anyone the formula is "He is a very rich man" or "I am the son of a BEY or PASHA" - & they are always keen to know one's rank etc etc:- the result of years of slavery to the Turks I suppose.Posted Joe a Tarbush or Fez tonight's mail hope he gets it.
