Notes

Text: "Ah, yes, Istanbul Again! Full moon, warm summer nights, minerets [sic] silhouetted against the sky, thousands and thousands of men on the street and _no_ women -- except Linda and mother, of course -- of course, -- and then three _bleak_ days in Bulgaria and Russia. What _sad sad_ countries - even the Turks seem better off!. Eagerly anticipating our return to Greece -- sailing Bosporus and Dardenelles tomorrow. See you soon! Bill"
