"I heard loud echoes of gunfire in the desert. They were not far from where we were at. Three of our men had died from thypoid, two of them did not survive their wounds. I am writing this to inform of one of our officials who had fled from our group. He took off his satchel, armor, and belongings and buried it in a sand pit. We are not sure if he is still wandering in Sinai, but we will keep a lookout if we see him. Please keep us in your thoughts. We will return soon." Memoir Log, May 6th, 532.
