| Description | Writing on 'a farewell visit' up the River Nile, Harris refers poetically to his voyage home to England. He describes the ongoing conflict in Egypt, suggesting that a 'military cordon' was in place 'where travelling is naturally restricted & where, if one may judge from the signalling that we saw going on in Port Said, spies are abundant.' Harris remarks 'It is an odd world, as well as a mad one'. He concludes letter with details of his forthcoming sightseeing and travelling plans, writing that he would 'give all Egypt & all the papyri in it for a glimpse of Selly Oak'. |
