City of Birmingham [ship]. - His mother will have heard how his journey has gone so far from Bessie; there has been 'bad weather most of the way' but he has kept well most of the time. Will be glad to get to Naples, as he finds the voyage 'rather a bore, there being few interesting people on board' and he finds it difficult to read much. [E.M.] Forster will board the ship at Naples with 'a young man called [Gordon] Luce'. It was worth travelling this way to see the Straits of Gibraltar, which 'far surpassed' his expectations. Bessie will be with his mother now; hopes they are all well. Thought Julian enjoyed himself at The Park the day he was there, and that Aunt Annie [Philips] looked much better than the last time he visited her there. They are just coming into the Bay of Naples, and can see all the lights of the town; there is no moon, but the weather is fine. Sends love to his father; will write next from Port Said.
