Rothenburg Nov 11th 1942

Dear All !

I can tell you that yesterday I got the parcel with the watch and thank you very much. Even the dial light up on it, and I thought you was sending a pocket watch. Pocket watches live longer in the Wehrmacht so I have to be careful with this one. I also got the small parcel with the cake and took 11 days to get here, but all was ok. You see a long delivery time can happen here back home too. I am well. Nothing has changed here yesterday I had a nasty injection , in the arm it went and now I am in bed not feeling well. I bought a few books and a mouth organ , next week I see a dentist well that’s all the news from here, and it is now 11 PM and I write again on the weekend

Your Heinrich.
