Dear Parents and Grand Dad!
A few words for today I will write and the reason , as so often, mail from home. Today I got 40 Parcels all at once thank you very much for all. But please send only half as much, I am only embarrassed to get all that mail and you need food at home too. Make the small 2 ounce parcels and don’t send them all at once. Do not worry about me , I am ok, we are furthest east and the Russian trying to surround us from the north and south but to no avail. I am well but the Rheumatism is bothering me, and I can get enough sleep. What are you doing right now, I assume you are sowing the fields, I can not help just yet but maybe in another 4 years when the war is over . My 2 years I signed up for were just a dream. Your Heinrich.
Don’t complain about the bad writing, I just drank half a liter of Schnapps.
