her I'm in England. Have not looked up any of Mr Copp's relations yet but shall do so if remaining many more days here.
Well, we've had a busy week. Getting our clothes fixed up – everywhere we go seem to have some alteration in our cape, cloaks etc. or hats – Now we have to wear shoulder straps with our stars – so we are some swank. I have bought a bonzer "Soth Wester" coat & hat for the rain. We are allowed to wear them, also strong boots & goloshoes .. fortunately my warm singlets are in good order & stockings, which I could not wear in Egypt, also warm nighties.
I can see my money going fast, need umbrellas & all sorts of different clothing so don't be surprised if I have to cable for money. Am alright so far. Travelling about is rather expensive & we are about indecipherable 1 hr 30 mins. out of London, so often have to take our meals out because trains & tubes do not fit in.
