find interresting in patches. I know a few of the places in it.
It is still rather chilly up and we are rugging our horses at night, but I heard that it was 104 down at Ludd a couple of days ago, and according to report, that would be a cold day down at Jericho - so this is a funny country alright - and you could drive right accross it in about three hours in a car - so its a quick change artist alright. I expect my next letter will be from some where down Wadi Kell way, so I dont suppose I'll be talking about the cold much more.
I had a couple of letters from Alan last mail and he and Hal seemed to be having a pretty high old time for a few days there but I suppose you take him down a peg or two in the holidays. Hal also has signed the pledge against letter writing as far as I'm concerned it seems.
I saw a good joke in an English paper the other day - there was a picture of two Tommies of the Barnsfather [Bairnsfather] type and one says to the other " Wot was you before the war, Bill?" and Bill say "Appy". Thats a true one I guess.
[In margin]
I dont think there is any news to tell you so I'll knock off.
Love to Father and Mother.
I am
Your loving brother
Robert C Wilson
P.S. You might post me over four No. 1 Junior Kodak films (No 2 Brownie size) when you get this Fred. They are very hard to get over this side now, but I have three spools to carry on with and am not taking many more photos about here. Rob.
