Russia April 23rd 1942

Dear Parents and Grand Dad !

Today I got 15 small parcels . Dear Mother, with all the parcels from you, I don’t have to go hungry here in Russia. I have enough to eat. I just hope that you do not go short on food by yourselves. I just made myself a pot of Pudding with oats and can cool off as I write. The parcels are well packed and the Butter is very good. In January I got the shirt, the bottle of Schnapps and the socks. But now I could do with a fountain pen if you can get me one. The apple sauce was good too, and tastet ok in the build Pudding. I am still well, so Fritz Dehn is a Sgt now, that was quick back home. This year the sowing will be late for the season, I look forward to your long letters so for now all the very best.

Your Heinrich
