I received your parcel all right and thanks for same. I am sorry I have not answered before, but I really have not had the time as we are kept hard at training from morning until night. I expect Mother and Father have a nice time in Liverpool. You wouldn't see Syd, he will be back anytime now.
You would be sorry to hear about Bob Skinner and Alec Johnson being killed; Whitehaven has been hit hard lately. I had a letter from John yesterday; he thinks he may be a month or two yet in England. We are having very changeable weather, plenty of rain and we've been out route marching and training rain or fine. I think Billie is having a better time on his rest than we are, I'd just as soon be in the trenches.
I wrote to Jennie and May and enclosed a pansy in each, but it appears Jennie hasn't got hers and I sent it off first. I am pleased to her that Thompson has got exemption till September. I suppose John is as busy as ever, he does not seem to get much time to himself. The photograph is a very good one. I've just received the paper from Jennie and she has received my letter. Well I must close, remember me to John.
I remain your affectionate brother Joe.
