The Matron has arranged that we have our day off together so we are going to Alexandria on Friday by 4.15p.m. train, arriving there at 8 p.m. stay until Saturday night, so hope to have a good time together. I'm still having a very good time with kind invitation of all kinds. Yesterday afternoon Lt. Main from Terang came & took three of us to afternoon tea at Heliopolis House Hotel. Then we three went into Cairo & did a little shopping, had tea in there & returned to Heliopolis Hotel where we met 3 officers & had ices & cool drinks, returned to hospital about 10.30 p.m. Today worked all day & now trying to write this letter with about a million interruptions.
