My dear Mother
How does this strike you? Some class! N'est pas? (They most of them talk French here you know). Yes and I'm really at this address. Got my long expected leave at last and it is Sunday morning and nice and cool and I have just come back from service and Communion at St Marks church and am waiting for lunch and feel very clean and nice and happy and just a little home sick.
I was up in Cairo for a couple of days and was thinking of going down to Luxor but everybody said it would be so hot down there; and I had just come from old Jericho heat and they all said how nice the sea was down here, so I came and it is lovely here. When in Cairo I went and saw Miss Harnett also Miss McConnicky and they gave me the Pastrol Review with the photos of home in it which I had not received and I was able to read that article about what jolly fine people we were! But of course I always knew it.
