for the publishing of such books entitled 'Fascinating Egypt' or 'Picturesque Egypt' I don't know the books, but the names are an untruth. Egypt is certainly in a measure interesting, but hardly fascinating or even picturesque. My previous opinion of Egypt as 'A land of high temperatures' etc. is confirmed this visit.
As per usual I can find nothing of any interest to write of. I will be rather glad to get my mail: its hard getting no letters for so long.
Remember me to those you consider fit to.
Love fromyour affectionate son & brotherWAC
