Sept 25™ 1942
Ear Parents ! Thank you for the parcels that I got yesterday, but I am still waiting for the 1 Kilo parcel and I think now that all the other parcels that are missing, were stolen or lost in the mail. It is a shame that these things happen i9n a few weeks time you can send butter again when it gets colder, and if you kill a pig, send some fresh sausage and I also can do with some Sugar beet syrup, dear Parents, remember that another winter is coming here, send me some socks and a pullover. I am not very well today, I am
vomiting and got the shits, it must be dirty water we drinking uit is mixed with crude oil a lot. I am glad to see that the work at the farm is progressing and I can not help you. I am not due for furlough until next year, 40 men have gone another 90 suppose to go and I am one of the last one as I was home in 1941. For now many Greetings,
Heinrich
