Monday the 28th. Introduction to Mr Le Moyne, General Consul in Cairo

January 28th, 2014, 3pm

It was 8°C with few clouds. The breeze was gentle.

Monday the 28th. Introduction to Mr Le Moyne, General Consul in Cairo - Mr Belin’s sad silver-embroidered garment between those of Mrs Le Moyne and Delaporte. Pompous - Mr Desgoutains, in European fashion, whom we had seen the day before in an old Egyptian attire, attending a singing under a tent at the Esbekieh gardens.


David Wade, Craig and Chris said thanks.
