To Mama STOP
What a stroke of luck Bunty's doctor being an expert in tropical diseases STOP
Pity he isn't an expert in conditions of the mind or he would surely consider him unfit to travel STOP
I admit that I hadn't heard of Dengue fever in Cairo either STOP
New strain apparently STOP
Will send a case back with Bunty for him to peer over his glasses at STOP

Regards Jack STOP
