Eastern Front April 12 1942.

Dear All !

Yesterday I got again 12 parcels so I must thank you very much for all that you send This week I sure was well supplied with food from home and was not hungry. Dear Mother, sure your long letters do interest me, you do seem to know what is of interest to me. You said I should not worry about home, I don’t and you know how to make the best out of life . I shall not think about my own life here very much, it maybe is not to my own good. Iam well, and that is the main thing, we are in a mud period again and we might have to wait until mid May to commence the attack here in Russia. The Devil is ruling this country and its weather. I just hope that the Bolcheviks are slaughtered by next fall and we come home. Now dear Parents that is enough for now, so fresh Greetings to you

Heinrich.
