Dear Auntie (image in Picture Gallery)
I am sending a few views of Heliopolis, you will see what a fine place it is considering it is only five years old. I hope dear Auntie you and all at home are keeping in best of health. I hope you have also got good tidings of Eric and Harry. I am living in the hopes of striking them here somewhere, I believe we are going to France I hope it is true. I am quite an old hand in Egypt and I think I have seen quite enough. Well dear Auntie I hope this finds you all well with Love and kisses to all my cousins. I am, Your loving Nephew, W. Gunter.
