I received parcel and thanks for same.
We are out of the trenches and well behind the firing line, we are near to Billie, well I won't say near, perhaps about 30 miles but we might land nearer to him when we go in the trenches. I think we will be out another week or two. We are a lucky division so far, and we have had a grand rest, I got the 7/4d from the patriotic sale all right and I will write and thank them for it. I don't think it's any good John writing about leave. I should have had my leave long since when I was drawn, but I will have to wait another month at least because "A" Company goes this week, but with a bit of luck I should manage for the events. Anyhow I will see what I can do.
I will write to thank Aunt Eliza and Jennie. If Thompson has to go tell him not to join an Infantry; the RGA is all right but the Army Pay Corps is much better paid I think. I had a letter from Billie he seems to be getting on all right. Our Billie will get a surprise if we land to relieve them. Please send me some handkerchiefs.
I will now draw to a close. Hope you are all well.
Love to all Joe
