Eaastern front May 24th 1942 Dear Beloved All !

Today is Whitsun and a few words I will write. First of all I am very well, and that you are well I know from yesterdays letter. I also got 5 parcels and thank you very much . I have gotten use to Russia and one starts to feel like a half Russian. Let us hope that a decision in this fight is coming soon. You wanted to know whether I got any horses, we don’t have any heavy horses only the Russian Panje Horses a sort of Pony, . It almost looks like we can hold this position until the war is over, let the Russians attack somewhere else.

Best Greetings Heinrich
