Letter 146

Rothenburg Oct 22nd 42

Dear Parents and Grand Dad!

I hope that by next week I get aletter from you, and meanwhile I have to keep on writing. I look out the window and I see the wet drizzel running down the glass and I wonder how the weather is back home. . I am thinking how my Comrades are doing in the Caucasus now . I keep listening to the Radio News and often , I can let my wander towards my Comrades. Will they ever be able to get back into a decent civilian life? I think of you at home too, as there is nothing else to do here . I help cleaning the rooms at times . Sending Money home is over for now, we only get half as much when we in Germany and I need some for supplementing my food allowance. Did you get the last 120 Marks I mailed? Does Herr Krumfu8 deliver your things that you ordered? What else is new? For now heartfelt Greetings Heinrich.
