Many thanks for the letters also thank Sarah for the parcel which arrived last night. I am sorry to say it had got smashed, but the only thing damaged was the bagpipes and the bladder was all scratched and the first time it was used it all split where it was damaged. It was rotten luck as all the chaps were simply delighted when they saw them. You might thank John for them it was jolly good of him. The Zobo was not in but perhaps Jess couldn't get one.
The weather is very changeable still. We have managed to get the water out of the trenches so it is not so bad now. We are coming out of the trenches on Sunday and you may guess we will not be sorry. Our stretcher-bearers brought a German in last night whom they caught in front of our wires and he was just a youngster about 17 and a wee chap at that.
Well I think I have given you all the news up to the present, hoping Mother is improving and that all are in the pink as I am. Hope Jess had a nice time and that Sarah had a good rest at Drigg - it will do her good. I had a parcel from Peckham a few days ago.
Your loving brother Billie.
