Len Shepard – Letter 31

Ismailia
Sat 25th Mar

Dear May

There is not much to write about this week although there are big things being talked about & probably this week will be our last in Egypt.  We are back here being fitted up after spending a pleasant fortnight down on the canal.  When we shift you’ll likely hear of our destination almost as soon as we do.  I am sending today a small parcel with a few bits of silk for mother.  I hope they reach her alright.  Within a couple of days I will also post about 20 negs of Ismailia & the Suez Canal.  Went over to see Charlie Wilson from Gore today & find that he is in Hospital.  The marching seems to play up with his old wound.  All the W’side boys here are quite well.

Love to All
Len.

Papers & parcels are coming to hand fairly well now – evidently they are clearing out the Post Offices before we leave.
