Dear All at home !
How often have I now written this introduction on a letter or card . Often, one just can not find the interest to write home and only our conscience dictate us to do so. We have to say that we are well, and I like to hear this from you too. There is no hope for me to get home this year on a furlough . Tomorrow is June 1* and the war is going on, we do feel like the Russians do here in this Country, and that there never will be , nor has there be a “Paradise” is now clear to all. I have never seen so many beggars for a crust of bread as I have seen here, not even in Germany during the Inflation times. I always look forward to read Mothers nice letters but for now, that is all, and sending many Greetings Your son
Heinrich
Can you send me a roll of yarn?
