Rothenburg Jan 28th 1943

Dear All at Home !

I will write afew lines now and firstly I am telling you that I will be released on Feb 11th and not on the 4th as earlier stated. One extra week I managed to stay here, I have not been home for so long, a few days more or less wont matter now. We don’t hear rosy news on the radio now, . I am well but it is very boring here, and I look forward to some furlough. I am still thinking of the Moped and please try to get a few Liter of Gasoline maybe on the black Market? It just stands in the shed and goes rusty, if you love me, please do me that favor . It has to be 1:25 Mixture . Yesterday I hada parcel from Mother thank you very much . If I am released I hope to come home first , so for now many Greetings

Heinrich.
