The letter is written from Jerusalem, controlled by the Kingdom of Jordan. She confirms receiving letters and a package upon her arrival. Nellie talks about her money situation with her family, her reluctance to spend money, and the semantics of trying to receive a check while traveling so much. In the margin, she asks whether they have received her "estimate of loss in 'travel overnight case'?" She says that if she needs any more travel cash, Rod has offered to give it to her when they meet; but, Nellie recognizes he might cancel last minute. She writes that despite drinking bottled water since Paris, her and half the group are suffering from diarrhea from the "bottle bug." Despite this, and the over-100-degree heat, the history tours of Jordan and Syria are very fascinating. They worshiped with a Methodist group from Cleveland at Galiath Hill. She will be staying to rest at the hotel while another tour group goes out.
