Dearest old Mrs,
Your cable received re leaving by Warwickshire in 9 days time please let me know what port you disembark at & I will endeavour to get down to meet you. We are not very busy just now & I think I can manage it. As stated in my last letter you must be prepared at any time to hear of a change in our movements necessitating you cancelling your arrangements – I don't think it is likely to happen but it may. There will be no difficulty in getting a house or flat but I will do nothing in the matter till you arrive. Nestle's food can be procured without any difficulty & costs about ¼ per tin. There is only one variety to be had in Egypt – the label says "suitable for young children" apparently they do not have the under & over 6 months foods. There are plenty of other foods if this is not suitable for the little man. Bring plenty of
money & get Arch to send more if necessary – I want you to live well over here. Please thank Trix for her letter of 1st inst. which arrived only yesterday nearly a week after yours of same date. She should address her letters properly. No more time for any more news – feeling A1 & longing to see you all. Best love from your loving husband
Will
