Dear Rup,

Have just heard from home where you were hanging out. I picked up the "Sunday Times" & saw your name in it, and saw you were at "Tiefield" [possibly Highfield]" Hospital Engd.  Have been in Egypt since about 24th July in hospital, for coming over in the boat I sprained my anckle which swelled up, and of course they sent me to "Atelier" Hospital;  that is opposite Luna Park skating rink at Heliopolis. You have heard by now I suppose the day that I enlisted it was the 27th May. I came away from Sydney on June 16th on the "Karoola", which is a snifter ship and you get good tucker. We did.
