Good grazing country & Oleanders grow & are in flower all along the Wadi- blew up line & captured one train Lt Morrice wounded Got some fresh mutton for men-
Have not seen any of the beautiful CIRCASIAN women yet, but Bedouins here are nearly white & have curly hair Hair all carry Rifles & daggers & are a picturesque crowd-
Snipers still firing, captured another 100- We are among a treacherous lot of Bedouins X who killed all the New Zealand rear guard the first time we came to Amman months ago.X
