Eastern Front July 3 1942
Dear Parents and Grand Dad !
I have to write again toda, last night I received 12 small parcels and also the Packet with the Pudding Powder I got, and the Cigarettes too. I will cook the pudding here and I try to get milk and eggs from a farm behind the front. Those men that are constantly behind the front have a far better life. So dear Mutti, many thanks all the things . It wont be long now then the bullets will fly around our ears too once the advance begins . I need a few things from you if possible a watch, maybe an old repaired one, then I need boot polish too, I also have some warts on my left hand, can you send me anything that takes care of them? Yesterday I mailed 100 Marks , all is well with me and hope that all is well at home. I must close now with many Greetings
Your Heinrich
The Sherbert powder is also quite good.
