I am called on duty so must cut my note short. What I have given you is only a rough introduction – I have yet to tell you about the People – Native Quarter Pyramids, Mosques, Zoo at Giza, Museum and many other things of interest.
Thank you so much for sprig of wattle; I showed it to my cobbers, and was at once noted "a lucky beggar". The arrival of each mail revives a keen rivalry amongst us: one hopes for a greater number of letters than the other, and the chap who is the unlucky one, and gets the least number generally swears by his own name, that so many of his letters have gone astray.
I shall continue this, next Tuesday, for I shall be on Guard untill to-morrow night (Monday).
Our mail closes in ten minutes so that, I shall send so much of a letter this mail, the remainder will follow.
I think that this may be our last mail from Egypt It is thought that we shall go away in about a weeks time. I hope so, at any rate.
I am
your very aff. son & bro.
W A Cull
