[Top Right] 12th Month 1916
[Centre] 4 Monday
Yesterday afternoon. Great
enthusiasm on both steamers.
French Battleship Montcalur
with 4 funnels came to
Suez from Red Sea way last
night. Mails were put off
[Centre] 5 Tuesday
last night & I could see a
boat which looked very much
like a mail steamer bound
for Aden way shortly -
afterwards so possibly
our mails went on this boat.
If so you ought to hear from
[Centre] 6 Wednesday
me about 2 or 3 days before
new year. Suez looks a pretty big place from where
we are lying out in the stream.
News from the war is practically nil
except fro a few [prisoners].
Landed Port Suez 4 pm 8th Dec
