I do not dare to go out until the sun is down. It gets very cool late in the evening. Papa is higher than any American officer here, except Gen. Stone. He has gotten his uniform. The coat is white, and the pants a dark navy blue.
Officers have to wear a cap called taboosh.
They are not allowed to go out on the streets without their swords. Mamma does not like Egypt very much. She is considerably homesick, I think. I am homesick myself. I sigh all day long and wish I was back in America.
