Dear Parents !
Today I got your letter from Sept 17th and the small FP Parcels. It is only a pity in my present state with my stomach, I can not eat anything. I also got the parcel from Mrs Schütte but the watch still has not arrived. What did I read, someone at home has seen us in the weekly Cinema News? If that is true go and see it,
From the east no other news, I am still well and glad to hear you are busy at the farm. Please send Pudding powder , Sugar and carbon Soda, That suppose to be good for prolonged diarrhea, or can you get charcoal or something for it? Ask at the Chemist Greetings Heinrich

Note: He does not call it diarrhea but “the Shits”.
