I was pleased to hear you are much better. I did not receive my parcel yesterday so am expecting it today. We are having rotten weather - heavy rain most of the time and the ground is in a terrible state. Jack Wattleworth was wounded below the right eye or left I'm not sure which, but I don't think it is very serious. He was hit by a piece of shell, also a chap called Robinson from Parton was wounded in the head by the same shell. His is a very serious wound.
You can send me another pair of socks now.
7th December
I did not get my parcel yesterday, so perhaps it has gone astray, as you would likely post it on the usual day. I think there has been a big do on at Whitehaven. I heard of another Whitehaven chap of Kells getting the V.C. We go in the trenches tomorrow for 5 days - well I do 3 days in and 2 at Headquarters.
Oh my parcel has just arrived, that photograph is very like Billie, but that dug out he is lying in is built on the ground while I fancy the ones Billie is in were dug deep down in the ground. You can please send me some more candles in my next parcel also I do want those pocket stoves as usual as we have got a little kettle and it boils water on a stove quickly. Well I must close as I'm writing this pretty much in the dark. Hoping this finds all at home well.
With love to all Joe.
