[Page 85]

stayed in to write to you. We are meeting Sisters Ross & Weiss in Alexandria this afternoon. It is simply perfect here, so cool & fresh.

Dorothy brought a few letters for me from The Palace – one from Fred from the trenches & he is very well – cannot give any news – also another from a friend from the front. A Penzance Paper from Mrs Barrie's sister. So you see my friends are awfully good to me.

Mr C. is ringing up to-day to see what arrangements I can make to go out with him. He is fearfully busy, it is a wonderful place, the amount of letters & parcels that go through would astonish you.

My friend (the officer) left this morning for the front. Oh, it is sad to think such grand boys are going to such a dangerous place. Hope it will soon end. Little Eddy's letter was lovely & he has a very good idea of writing & drawing.

Fondest love & kisses to you all.

From
Your loving sister
Edith.
