You will no doubt have received my letter telling you I have gone in hospital. I have a deflected septum in my right nostril so thought I'd better have it seen to. I moved out of the trenches two days ago to one clearing station and from there I've been moved to C.C.S. I saw the Doctor this morning and I think I'm being moved to the Base. You need not worry at all as it is nothing serious. They treat us jolly fine and they have a really wonderful system. I cannot let you have my address as I may move anytime but I'll let you know as soon as I'm settled. The grub is jolly good, quite different from what we get up the line. The weather is awfully cold but we are fairly comfortable and have almost as many blankets as we want so we manage to keep warm.
I have just been in to see the specialist and he says it will mean an operation and probably mean going all the way back, but they might do it here. However I will let you know how things are going. I am pleased to hear all at home are well. No doubt John will have joined his unit by this reaches you. He will have a much better time now he is an officer. I was pleased to hear Father had a decent holiday over the New Year as he needed it and would do him good.
Well I think this is all, hoping all are well and that you have good news of Joe, as this leaves me in the best of spirits. So cheer oh.
Your loving brother Billie.
Do not send any parcels until I tell you.
