Sally has been making herself both agreeable and useful. Today she is off for a few days in Nicosia. The weather is queer, I hope you are not on the Sandstone at this moment. Yesterday morning the wind came as fast as it could from the east and was a hot sirocco (who ever heard of a dry east wind) and in the afternoon it began whistling back and is still strong and damp from the west. The sea is roaring and barred to white in long breakers.
