Dear Parents and Grand Dad !

ye

A few days ago ai got the letter from March 11th and from it I see that that all is well back home. Only I am on my deepest point and it’s the Rheumatism in my bones and its worst than Grand Dads I think. My legst wont carry my body, and I am in a room here, laying down on my own. If that carries on, I have to get into a Military Hospital , Dear Parents, I am so upset that I have to sacrifice my health for this war, and I never thought that I would get something like that. If only the day was near that I could see you again dear Parents , keep on praying and let me know how things are going at home. Don’t worry about me and you stay well. Many Greetings

Heinrich.
