Rothenburg Feb 7™ 1943

Dear Beloved All.

Yesterday I got the letter from the 22™ and thank you very much, and today is Sunday and I will answer. In the letter you wrote that you expected me on Feb 11th but that is not possible, maybe on the 18% or 25th now. I hope you do understand . I hope Fathers finger is better now, I have the same problem with infections on my neck. The Dr.operated on one and that is better now. They do hurt I know. How many of the Village back home have died at

Stalingrad? Are there not any precise news about it? Please try . and get a gallon of Gas the clear one is 1,25 a Liter here, Maybe you get some from the owner of the Lanz Tractor , he uses it in his soldering torch. I have spend 2 years on a 4 legged Oats Motor with 1 Horse Power and now I like to ride my Gasoline Horse for a change. No other news I know . Greetings and all the best,

Heinrich.
