Page 4 Egypt, as there is a rumour that we will
be leaving soon
ofbut I don't know wherefor.
I don't want to spend the summerhere as I think it is awfully warm and full
of sand storms. Everywhere is full of sand
and the fellows say there is sand to the
right of us, sand to the left of us, sand in
front of us and Heliopolis behind us.
I don't think I have any more to writeat present so I will draw to a close.
With best love to all
From your loving Son
