CORRESPONDENCE:

Wednesday, 30th June

My darling Lee,

I came on board about 4:00 pm on Monday after hanging about all day alone at Port Said.

It’s not a good boat- the cabin accommodation being inferior to the tourist on “Orontee” (?)- still I’m on the way to Abingdon and looking forward to seeing you Saturday this week.

There are one or two from Jerusalem on board, but otherwise they’re a rotten lot and wish I’d gone overland with Daddy.

Nothing to write- the sea is calm and the sun is shining still and its pretty hot this morning.

This will come from Marseille.

Fondest love and kisses.

Your loving Mummy x
