Thursday 6 September 1917

Cairo
Disappointed today again to find no boat available for about a fortnight so cabled Dolly not to expect me till end of month. Meantime we applied to go to a School "Topographical or Senior Cavalry" as I cannot afford to be living here in Cairo at the Continental as many expense is ahead of me in my trip home.

[The following paragraph crossed through.]
I am very happy about it all. Will travel light & am leaving a leather KIT Bag at the Continental Hotel here others at Gezireh so if torpedoed you'll know.
