They would still make good fighters, if they were winning, but jolly cruel ones, just like the old Israelites.

We saw a sight to day which the old regiment has not seen for a very long time - a car load of nurses from the hospital at Jerusalem going for a Sunday drive down towards Hebron. My word we gave them a cheer as they went past. This is getting quite a civilised front now alright, and its some change after all the desert we have been through.

Next day  

Some more mail has come in but no letters from home yet. They seem to have a new system of sorting the mails now, before we used to get all our mail in one big plomp, now we keep getting two or three letters a day until they all arrive. I believe it is to make transport more even or something, but it is annoying being kept waiting for your letters once you know a mail is really in. I will let this go now and write to Mother as soon as the home letters [continued in margin] arrive. Heard in letters to day that Mother and Aunt Fan & Aunt Katie were all in Sydney. So glad to hear Mother is going about so much.

Love to Mother & Hal & Fred.

I am
Your loving son
Robert C Wilson
