Nurse Smithers was at Suez at the time of writing but expected to join her unit at Port Said any time. I am afraid she will find Port Said very different to Cairo unless it has changed since I was there. You should receive a photo about the time this letter reaches you. It is a group taken at the M.G. Depot Granthan. It will be a good souvinier should I return. I think I told you I had a card from Bert he said he had received the photo alright. I wrote the O.C. of Sloanis company asking him if there were any of his personal things about. But so far havint received any answer But I dare say they would be forwarded to you. I know he had a watch presented to him in N.Z. he said he wanted me to get should he get knocked out. Should anything turn up. Just keep them across there. I havint written any one in N.Z. have left that to you. As letters take so long to get across here &: I have told you all I know about him that is if the letter has reached you
