  Dear Mother and Father
  
                                 Just a line to let you know

  I am quite well, and hope you are all well at

  home. How are your eyes now I hope they are

  improved since I last saw you.
  
     As I told you all about the voyage as far as

  Cape Town, I will now try and describe the rest

  of it. We arrived in Cape Town on 28th May

  and I stayed there for a few hours. I didn't see very

  much of it as it was dark when we got there, but

  it was lovely going into the harbour. It was

  grand to see all the lights shining along the

  hillside and the sky quite bright with flashes

  of lightning. We left Cape Town in the

  morning, and had a lovely trip to Durban where

  we stayed for three days. Durban is a

  splendid town but small, the streets are very

  wide and the houses pretty large. There is a

  splendid tram service and very cheap too. also
