Dear Beloved at Home.

Time is going fast , now August is coming to an end soon and you at home are confronted with the big jobs and here we are marching under a hot sun without any mercy for our poor horses. Yesterday I had 5 parcels and a letter, I am glad to hear that you made a chicken coop I like to read things like that in your letters. Wherever we are going only the devil knows, we are gypsies now and look like them, but I am well, I will close now, to many flies about. Many of us already suffer from Malaria. Heartfelt Greetings Heinrich.
