Lloyd Triestino Tuesday Oct 6. We did not get on board our second steamer - or rather we hadn't finished getting on board - till 8 p.m. so that I had no time to go out and post my first letter. We are very comfortably installed in two single cabins and we reach {Port Said} Beyrout [Beyrouth (Beirut)] on Saturday 10th. So far as I know they [sic] convoy leaves on the 14th or 15th and we shall have a day or two to spend in Syria to Sylvia's great delight. We touch at Port Said, Jaffa [Tel Aviv-Yafo (Joppa)] and Haifa on the way. I am writing before breakfast, after which we shall go out and post our letters. Goodbye darling.
