The chief local colour is made up of low scrub about 2 ft. high average on sandy clay with stones & gravel. The scrub is greenish with nice dead stuff showing grey purple here & there. I propose getting a record of the various plants & flowers.
In the gullies there are relics of cultivation & olive groves, but fortunately all this patch of the world has a distinctive character and when the God, whom you and I have come to worship, simply because he has been so much hidden during our lives, deigns to look out of his possie I think that my touring England and country here at the wrong time may be justified.
It will be difficult to keep up a correspondence with the boys so suggest that if my letters pass your censorship they may be passed on.
Yours Ever
