Billie - Saturday 11th September 1915

Dear Sarah,

Many thanks for letters of a few days ago.  We were relieved by one of our Batts. yesterday and we are now in the village about 300/500 yards behind the line.  We are in a large dug out, in a jolly fine orchard which is full of fruit trees.  The weather is jolly fine, only cold at nights but that is a detail. 

I was pleased to hear all are well at home.  I was sorry to hear about May Huggins but hope she is better.  I have not much news today but thought I'd let you know we were out of the trenches and all serene.  Did mother and the aunts receive their PCs. 

Well I must close, hoping all are well, as it leaves me in the pink. 

Your loving brother Billie.
