Good night. I shall finish this for posting in the morning. Good night. Good night. [A line of Xs and Os.] Caroline [A line of Xs and Os.] Josephine [A line of Xs and Os.] Kathleen.

24-4-15 – 3-30 p.m. This morning I called upon Surgeon General Ford who is the chief in Egypt, had a confidential talk with him about my work & my position here. I was well pleased at the end of our talk & I would not be surprised if he finds me a new position in the course of an early date. If he does then Jerrom and I shall leave this rotten show. My honour & personal reputation are not safe in the weak hands that guide No 2 G. H., and to get away from it will be obeyed by me with the greatest of alacrity & pleasure. I shall send you a cable announcing my departure should it come about.

For the present Goodbye. God bless all of you. My best wishes to my friends. Love to you three & Maria in heaps & kisses in loads.
