Russia May 20th 1942

Dear Beloved All !

A few lines I like to write , yesterday I ad a bunch of parcels and a long letter. Thank you very much, glad to hear all is well there and I am well too. We are on a sort of a vacation in this village 20 Kilometers behind the front . Every morning, a German Official for the Russian Farmers brings us a liter fresh milk. Also plenty of potatoes we get and then I get your food from home so I am ok. They want to feed us well here for the Battles that still lay ahead of us. Every night we have a bath in the creek here I enclose a air mail stamp so if there is something urgent to tell me, use the stamp, the letter is here in 3 days. But remember to state Air Mail on the envelope. We get 2 stamps a month.

Greetings Heinrich.
