I wrote to Mother on Sunday.
There is a chance of me going to Port Said on dental leave, any day. I applied to go about a fortnight ago and the Adjutant told me it was a good time to get away and told the dentist I would be granted leave. However the dentist did not wire down to make an appointment for me till a couple of days ago so I dont know whats doing now. I think there'll be a move on any day now and I hate going away when we are moving.
A batch of reinforcements came out the other day and amongst them was an old hand who had been in Moascar, and when asked why he came out he said Oh well! I was pretty sick of it down there and I thought it was about time I did a bit more for George and Mary.
I do could not understand him at first - but its the Australians way of saying for king & country.
I wonder what sort of a season you are having. It seemed pretty droughty round most of NSW in July. Must stop now Father.
Love to Mother & Hal & Fred.
I am
Your loving Son
Robert C Wilson
