Rothenburg Feb 15th 1943

Dear Parents and Grand Dad !

Yesterday I got the letter from the 11th and thanking you very much, and I am glad that you got my parcel too. Yesterday I mailed another small one with a 9X12 film but I could not get another one. It seems that Molli goes well with the Wagon, so you said, I am glad about that. But don’t cry over the Brown Horse, that is gone now. One day you will be getting all the Diesel you need for the tractor. I hope you can manage to bring the wood in, we in the 4th year of the war and things have changed maybe the. horses have to work a bit more like anyone else in this war does. Is our old Dog still alive? Has he gone blind? Did the Relatives of the Stalingrad fighters have any news of their beloved ones? I hope that a few survived and were not killed by the Bolchivicks. The weather here is bad right now, , did you get all the fertilizer this year? , will you be able to get a new ferilizer Spinner? Well, that is all, for now.

Greetings from Heinrich.
