Billie - Saturday 21st August 1915

Dear Jess,

Just a line to let you know I am still going on all right.  The weather seems to have taken up a bit and you may bet we are jolly thankful.  We are going off digging again for another 6 hours.  We go in the trenches on Monday for another 8 days. 

I see by the papers they have been making a raid up at our place.  I should have thought that Whitehaven would have been the last place to be shelled but it appears they are not particular where they shell.  I hope they did not do much damage.  There is one thing - it will make some of them understand that there is a war going on. 

That pocket stove you got is a treat.  Hoping Mother and all at home are well. 

With love from your affectionate brother Billie.
