Dear Dorothy,

I received your welcome letter of 1st June a couple of days ago so here goes for a few lines in reply. So you are still busy with the nursing, and also keeping late hours. It is only three days since I last wrote to you so I will not have very much in the way of news for you, in this letter. If I remember correctly I wrote to you the day before I went on the picnic, with Jock. We had quite a good day and evening and in general a good time. Leaving here by motor lorry at half past one, we went into a place on the back of the Nile and got into a little two deck boat and went down to the Delta barrage, had a few hours there and came home the same way, getting back to camp at half past eleven at
