& happy children & very pretty & healthy. The system does seem
a great success & you would be very interested to
see them. There was one bunch of little girls, all about
Lisa's age - I mean 5 1/2 - all busy talking & changing
their clothes themselves & popping off to their little
[lovabos?] - they were all so natural & busy & friendly, &
it was so easy to picture Lisa among them.

The [Muktar?] here was a grand man too & was very
anxious for us all to stay the night - but we wanted to
get on to the Dead Sea - but Ben & I have
promised to go & stay sometime for a day or two.
If we do come to Palestine for a holiday
sometime, darling, we shall certainly be able
to have a very interesting & very cheap time,
once the journey is paid for. It is certain that
you would be interested in the settlements & all
about them & it is equally certain that the
Muktars I have met will be delighted to have
us for a few days. Oh for the chance.

I must go to bed now. I have done my work in
my room today - & lain, on my bed a little -
& done some reading - & written so far to
you - I am still puffing & blowing &
sneezing. Goodnight, my darling one. xxx H.

Friday - Ap. 17th. Blast & damn my cold - I stayed in
bed until 11-30 this morning - & the doctor has been &
sounded every thing & given me some different medicine
- but I feel very stuffed up & in no sort of a mood
for writing. But I will finish off my week end
