between us, when we meet again - I feel quite faint
when I think about that time.

What else has happened. I have became a P.T instructor in
the last three days - my Corporal who had been on
his course in Egypt, had to be sent away on an
escort to Dasmascus, & nobody else seemed to be
particularly suitable or competent, so I took them
myself. And I made them work very hard, they all
seemed to enjoy it. This is more good training
for me & I shall be able to take you when
I get home.

The Hon. Mrs Samuel called to seeme today, in her
capacity as President of Jewish Welfare, & she stayed
& talked for over 1 1/2 hours. I have told you about her
before, & she really is a very charming & clever
woman. She was very insistent that when I next
came to Jerusalem. I must come & see herself & her
husband, & they would take me about & show me
all - I really must do my bit to avail myself
of the opportunity, as I am sure no two people
are more competent to do this.

I have now told you about as much as I know of
Jerusalem & Tel Aviv. And I will now describe something
of Haifa. You will be able to see from the map that it
is on a headland, at the southern end of the Bay of Acre.
And the town is, of course, dominated by the sea. The
port, Mount Carmel behind it. The population is, I think,
about 80,000 composed of approx 60% Jewish & 40% Arab.
