It has been very windy during the last few days – the dust gets into ones eyes & makes them very sore – the annual rainfall in their part of the world amount to about 1 inch, we have had none since we have been here. In spite of the small rainfall everything is beautifully green wherever there is irrigation & it is wonderful how quickly the crops come on. Some of the men have scattered some oats seed in a circle round their tents & have now quite a decent little green patch in the midst of the sandy waste of the desert Some of our convalescent patients have done the same round their wards; others have circled them with sones in some cases quite artistically I am as a rule pretty tired each night & generally turn in about 9. It is a fairly long day from 6 in the morning & buzzing about all the time.
I must now end up with best love to all & hoping you are all real well
Yr. loving husband
Will.
