Dear All !
Yesterday I got the long letter from Whitsun and 14 small parcels and thank you very much for it all. Such a long letter can be written by Mother only, , From all the things you send I always have now a generous breakfast and some Comrades like to be invited but I say no. Send me less Butter but Margarine is ok, We got new Horses and that is more work for me, I fetch a wagon of lupins that they like very much. I stay with them all the time, there is no news today, lets hope the war ends and we come home in good health. I am still well and hope you too, and I assume you have started the Hay Harvest. I hope to be home next year
Whitsun and definitely I will still be a soldier. This war will take much longer than the 1* World War 1914-1918. It would not be so bad if we could get furlough, so all the very best,
Your Heinrich.
