I received parcel and thanks for same. The tomatoes were squashed and one or two were the week before. I sent the card that Coopers enclosed and the same the parcel was damaged some of the envelopes were spoilt as well. I wrote to Janey yesterday so she will be sending my letter on.
20th June 1916
Well we are on the move again further to the south of France. We are a good distance on the right of where Billie will be. We have had rather warmed weather lately, but it is not like Summer. We are in a fairly decent sized place, billeted in empty houses.
It seems rather queer that John should be relieved by an officer of the same name, or pretty nearly the same. I was pleased to hear Mother was still at Liverpool having a good time; the change will do her good. I received the cards Mother sent. Syd seems to have had a good time on leave, he would have liked to have seen you all. John seems to be kept busy. I heard that women were going to start working at Lowca on shells.
It was sad about Bob Skinner and Alec Johnson. I thought Bob would have pulled through all right although I think his wound was more serious than at first thought.
We might not be able to get our letters away for a day or two as we are on the move. Well I must close with love to all. Hoping this finds you all well.
I remain, Your loving brother Joe.
