My dear Father
Sunday again; so here's for my letter home. No more mail from you, yet, I don't know what has gone wrong with it. Any letters from Cairo come straight out to me and last night I got two letters from Telarah dated 23rd Nov. and the last from home are 23rd Oct.
I think it is that these letters have come since I wrote to the base and those from home has arrived before and were sent to hospital after that other Wilson and will be returned to me in a day or two with "not at 14th AGH" [Australian General Hospital] all over them.
I rode over to our flying corps it yesterday to have a look round and see MacNamara who is in the wireless there. I did not see Mac as he was out with a battery somewhere North of Jerusalem, but I had an interesting time and also met Ronald Austin. He and another officer (our late sig. officer) had brough[t] down a tank the day before which I expect will help on there string of ribbons a bit, they have both got a good many already.
