Lovely peaceful Sunday, Church 10 a.m., All Saints, Ramleh & looking across the Church I see the Horans & Mrs. Dudgeon in a pew opposite & reflect that it is just 2 months since was in Church last in Cairo, Easter Sunday, & Mr. Horan preaching. Swim & diving with Dorothy Horan 12 p.m., lunch 1 p.m., slept 3.30, 4 p.m. tea with Dudgeon & crowd on beach. All cleared off by police 6.30 p.m. then tram to 17th G.H. & arranged meet G. Hanly Tuesday 3 p.m.
