Eastern Front April 17 1942 Dear beloved All.

Today I will write again as I got your letter from March 31* and 2 small parcels with Birthday Cake and Fats in in it. Thank you very much for all the things. Everything was welcomed and will be consumed I assure you. The Apple schnitzel were good as well, I use them in my pudding. I am glad to hear that Grand dad had such a good birthday ye, please order me the Schaumburger newspaper. Did you get the wristwatch and several photos I mailed? On the 31 you was able to sow the Barley already, that is good and here we still have snow every day, . In Russia there are only 5 months each year where one can expect to move around and the rest of the year we stand still. I am glad to hear the tractor was used for harrowing , shows you the good application of the wheel chains. Make sure you get all the other machinery from KrumfuB, and get enough of fresh oil for oil change. That will be all for today

Greetings Heinrich.

Send some sandpaper please.
