The Palace, Heliopolis. Sept. 9th 1915.
My dearest Mother,
I have just heard that an Australian mail closes at 3.30. p.m. so shall just have time to scribble a few lines to you.
I am out of bed – both Essie & I are sitting-up in chairs writing, so you see we are getting on splendidly. In fact I should have been quite alright only for a wretched abscess I got under my R. arm, that, is alright, but more pleasure in store for me – have two other boils just near the old one & shall have to have them opened in a couple of days. I'm put on Stout. Horrid stuff. Anyhow I'm feeling grand, so don't worry.
Col. Maudsley may be leaving us soon he has an appointment offered him, in a London Military Hospital, which he will accept. Poor Sister Bolton is a little better but most likely will be sent back to Australia, this is no place for anyone with Rheumatism. How is your
