It's rather a long time since I wrote to you but we have been kept very busy lately. I haven't had much time for letter writing. John still seems to be having a nice time at Chester. I wish we could get some news of Billie. Of course it takes a long while to get news through. We've had quite a number turned up as prisoners, so there is a good chance. I had a letter from Wilson Grahame he seems to be having a trying time in hospital.
10th September
I never got a chance of posting this letter, we were taken in a hurry to the trenches but we are back again now and I think we are right for a rest. I had a letter from Sarah yesterday. I received her parcel a few days ago, but yours hasn't turned up yet.
I still think there is a chance of Billie being a prisoner, and if he was left wounded between the German first and second line with a bit of luck he should be all right. I will send Mother a card for her birthday, it won't matter about being late. I think F. Wilkinson is a lucky chap, but he had his share like the rest of us. I met Harry Johnson when we came out of the trenches, he looks well.
Well I've no more news remember me to John and Mr & Mrs Kennaugh and family.
Your loving brother Joe
P.S. I just received your parcel yesterday (11th) it had been repacked in England as it was found broken, but it was all right when I got it.
