My dear Mother,
An officer is going to Cairo so letters go too- in five minutes.
I am near Ismailia on the canal. It’s pretty dry.
I met Norman Ogilvie and Stan three brothers Hore and R.Orme while in Cairo.
I’m glad Fell got on so well in his last exam. Will write again soon.
Whysacts sent me a nice Christmas billy.
Love to all
Stid.
