Letter 145

Rothenburg October 21* 1942

Dear Parents and Grand Dad !

I have time enough to write but I am not in a mood to write much but trying my best now. I am well, this is the first good rest since Russia, , food and drink is good, I feel like a Count and everyone serves me. Having a nice bath, Music all day, beer and books too, every day examination, a Chief Doctor is in charge, yes I do have pain, you understand that, and I hope to stay here for a while. Once I am released from here , they will send me to Braunschweig to get new Uniforms and gear. But the most important thing I get is a Furlough home but I don’t know how long, 2 or 3 weeks maybe. Now I can tell you to send me 2 pound parcels and pay a bit more mailing charges. The Charges are dearer without the lettering Feldpost. Send Cake , Cookies and Sausage there and then some Butter or canned Meat. The main thing is that I habve enough to eat. How is work going on the farm have you got good weather? We had 2 days of rain here so Lam sending you greetings

Your Heinrich.
