Monday 10 December 1917
Busy as usual, ½ day 2-7 p.m. Went A.G.H. then town with Marge, Cicurels for silk dress, cost to be £2-0-0 for same, fitting (Wed. 3.30 p.m.).
Ord. collars at Esthers (call Friday) & 1 cap.
Went to mosque & loved it all, heard the call to prayer & very quaint it sounded, then climed the minaret & viewed Cairo by "after sunset" light, very fine and wonderful old building, one built 1356 A.D. 6 hundred years old impresses one with awe. We encased our feet in huge slippers & walked on "holy ground" & saw the tombs of the father & son who built the mosque. Wonderful inlaid wood & one part of ceiling shown where Kitchener had it cleaned. Cannon ball still in hole in outer wall from Napoleon's time.
