20 February, 1916
Maadi
I sealed church this morning, cracked sick, was in the unfortunate position of not having the cash to buy Boot polish & did not like to go dirty or be a hum on my mates so stayed & did some writing in stead. Played a game of footer this afternoon & was on the losing side. to night I met perkie & we took a bit of a walk & had a decent chat. Got a letter from Bert this morning, he say he will be in Cairo next Sunday so there is a prospect of me seeing him. I hope I do, perkie is going to try & get leave also.
