Had a hard days work. Went out riding during the cool of the evening with S Haynes. Old Jack turned up to-day as he had leave from Tel-el-Kebir. They get one day every month to come up to Cairo & purchase different articles.

Jack showed me a letter he received from Nina & he was as pleased as punch. The 1st Australian Division are now on the water for France so I suppose you will all soon hear of it.
