Dear Carl
I got your welcome letter dated Nov 12. You will be supprised to see I am here at Cairo. I have been shifted from one hospital after another and hope to be sent home for a rest sometime if I have luck. I have just about recovered from my illness now and am fat as a porker a stomach like a retired publican. I am glad to see you are still in the same job. It does not pay to be allways shifting around. Don’t become a wanderer like me, try to stick in the one place for a good while and save up, you will be able to travel in comfort when you want too. I have had a letter from Norman, when I was in Cairo
