Dear All.
Iam inasomber mood like I never was before. You might ask, has he done something wrong? No, dear Parents, I have only done my duties but I like to know what the Officers have against me. I am so down I could take the loaded gun and shoot myself but I wont do it because of you. I am still hoping that the Military time will come to an end, there is no justice here in the Army, I have never shirked from work, the cannon went to through Russia every yard with me. And that is what hurts me. The reasons are, I am not inclined to become friends with the Sgt’s , I am now 3 years a true Soldier and still not PfC . To be a PfC for me is only an honor, not the extra payment for me. But it seems I have to stick it out. I got 10 letters today from you
Happy Whitsun
Your Heinrich.
