Base Details, 18th Camp, Havre.
Dear Janey & Thompson,
Thank you both for your letters and the enclosed. I fairly did have a stock to read on Sunday. I am pleased to say I am all right now and hope to go up the line sometime this week. Of course we don't know definitely that we shall got this week. In fact there is a rumour that we are staying here for another few weeks. I hear that our lot are busy hay- and road-making so they will not require our services for that if true. They have moved further south so I was told to La Bassee by one of our Lieuts. who came to take us up.
The weather here is simply scorching, heaps warmer than I have ever experienced it in England. It will be jolly hot travelling especially seeing it will take us about 48 hours to get to our new destination. I am expecting to get a leave fairly soon, there are not many who have got more than 5 years service in with the Batt. When I get mine I think Billie will get his. Of course they might consider that I have had enough leave down here but it was not my fault that I am here.
I've had one of my teeth filled but I want a few front ones filling, the dentist said I should have them done soon but he could not do them for me. Perhaps I shall get them done when my leave comes.
I must close now as it is time for Parade. Hoping all are well.
Love to all John.
