Parents and Grand Dad.
Here I am sitting in the rail Road station in Dnjperpetrowsk and try to write a few things. I never thought that our retreat ended up that far back, but now I hope they bring me into a hospital to Poland well, anywhere nearer to Germany, . Our train has 400 wounded and sick soldiers on board, and there is no room to take anymore on. So therefore I am hoping to go further back. We in cattle cars and hoping for a delousing station, I can not tell you more and no news from me.
So sending you Greetings
Heinrich.
