Dear Parents!
I am well and hope the same from you . At the moment we are resting for a few hours. So far we already marched 560 Kilometers and according to reading the map, its only half way to where we going. Nobody knows where we going, if we keep going in this direction, we will run into the Caspian Sea soon or Caucasus but we will spend the next winter in Russia too and even stay here after the war. Maybe we get furlough than all men returning from furlough are tired from the long delays in the rail system. Do not give Diekmann a parcel for me, it might go bad. It is going to rain now, all the best Heinrich
