look Harry up, but now I will be stumped. Anyway, I intend to look Mum's sister up, & then go on up to Scotland, & see some of them there. I dont suppose I will be very presentable by the time I do get there, as we get into a horrible mess at times, but that will not prevent me from having a jolly good time. Do you remember me telling you of the cake, which came from Scotland? Well I received another p-c two months old, yesterday, which deepens the mystery more than ever. It was signed B. Finny, & runs as follows, London 3.3.16 "I got your address from my cousin, Mrs Clark, Killara, & shall send you, when I get home to Edinburgh, a Scotch Cake. Hope you are well. Kind regards, B. Finn. This makes the third address I have received in connection with the cake I got, & I'm blowed if I know who to thank for it. I wrote Miss Harper, but so far have not had a reply. Can you clear this little matter up for me. I heard from Arthur yesterday, & he is still in Egypt, down at my last place of abode, Serapeum. There is one thing certain- he is far safer there, than over here.
