Dear Dorothy, Many thanks for your welcome air letter card, dated 3rd Jan, which I received a couple of days ago. What a pity you missed the Bluff regatta, I had a letter card from Maisie also, written the same days as yours, telling me that they were down and had been round to see Cecil Dixon. Who is this Eddie chap, how many more boy friends are you going to have, you are as bad as I was in that line. I was with George Troon a couple of nights ago and had a couple of bottles of beer with him, He is not in this camp now, so you can guess where he has gone, he wished to be remembered to you and to all at home. I see Alf Graham every day as he is a sergeant in this unit, and also see quite a lot of Mark Blackie and Jim Lennox. Jim and I are going into Cairo, for the day, on Saturday. You ask me what sort of Christmas I had, well old dear it was a pretty good one and was not too dry. You all
