We are still uncertain of our movements; no one seems to have any definite information to offer as to when or where we go. The air is of course thick with rumours, but I do not pay much heed to anything unofficial. I have just purchased a helmet & find it a great protection from the sun. I don't think the Luxor trip could be done without a helmet. The mosquitoes are just eating me up in spite of tobacco smoke & the smoke from a heap of gum leaves that I have been burning in the tent (we have gums galore here) so I must end up this epistle & crawl; in under the shelter of your indispensable mosquito nets. Au revoir old girl with best love to all & hoping you are all happy & well,
Yr loving husband
Will.
I enclose photos of two of the Cairo mosques.
