Dear All at Home !
Yesterday I got the long letter from May 30th and 7 small parcels as well. I thank you very much for it all. A note was included from Krumfu8 but tell him that there is nothing to buy here and we hope that the war will end soon. Right now we have a lot of work on with training the new horses. We hope to go forward again and just hope that the fighterbombers not shoot our horses again. I am glad your weather was good in May and you got a lot of work done and that you are healthy. Dear Grandad, make sure you get out for a short walk often enough, I would like to see you
mounting your horse again like we do here and like you use to do. Today my address is a bit different. By order of the Commanding officer, I was promoted to Pvt 1st Class ,
Heartfelt Greetings Heinrich.
