With the exception of a few slugs in my left thigh, my legs are all right. The heat just now is deadly, 104 in the shade. I have had a visit from ' Jim ' Guy and ' Gar' Quick, who have been left here to look after the horses, tho old camp at Zeitun being only three miles away. Remember mo to everyone, and tell W.
