I have received two home parcels since last writing. I also had all the New Year cards.
You said that I might easily beat Billie home on leave, well I was drawn to go on leave with A Company's first batch yesterday, but there was some misunderstanding, and two men had been picked after the draw - it's rather bad luck. Still I don't mind so long as I get a leave, but I'd have been able to be home with John.
I think we have to go once or twice in the trenches again. Of course I will be at Battalion: H.O. this time. I got a nosecap from a German shell given by a chap and if I get on leave I want a few rings making out of it. I have no tackle out here for shaping rings.
I was pleased to hear Father had a decent holiday; he would need it. I will send a P.C. to thank Mrs Huggins. Poor Jack would never have the pleasure of a parcel from home. Sid is getting on fine and looks grand. I don't think those special shirts are any good - we can do without them.
Well I must close hoping this finds all at home well.
Your loving son Joe
