I received your letter and the parcel from home and I think it is your turn for a letter.
We are still back resting, but I heard today that all leaves have been stopped. This will likely be on account of the German threat to sink all ships on 1st March; the channel will likely be cleared. We are having very cold weather, hard frost and snow, but a chap who just came off leave last night said it was colder in England. I would say we had 12 or 13o of frost the other night.
I am expecting a letter from Billie anytime now. You can please send me some more chutney and rum butter. I have plenty of tobacco but you might send me some good cigarettes. John will likely be having a good time at Barrow although I think it will be a very bleak place, but still he can stick the cold. I had a letter from Miss Muncaster and she mentioned the socks. I was talking with Miller Irven and he told me he didn't get over to see Mother, but was talking with you. I was also talking with L. Hodgson; it was the first time I have met him since we came out.
Well I have no more news at present. Hope all at home are well.
With love to all, Joe
