Dear Parents and Grand Dad !
A few Day ago I got your letter from July 24th and it seems that all is well at home same as here. We are so tired, every night we march 35 Kilometers and we only sleep 4 hours during the day but there is plenty of fodder for the horses here We are a bit better off now and with Infantry support, just in case we encounter Russian troops. We are constantly in a hurry. I found an working
Grammophone and when the mood is somber, I wind it up and play a tune. I suppose you have plenty of work now and get wood for. the winter. We soon will reach the Oil fields of the Caucasus and we have fuel a plenty I hope. I am glad you do your improvements and not have given in to all the bad news. I am enclosing two parcel stamps,
Heartfelt Greetings Heinrich.
