Rothenburg Feb 22nd 1943

Dear Beloved All !

Today I got your letter with the 5 Marks and so far I had twice 5 Marks now and another 25, thank you very much , I can use the Money here, I strted smoking again, so you are building a Garage for the tractor? Make it big enough so you can get a car in too, and make sure it is build from brick and not from wood and roofing felt. If you could even build a massive hall for all the machinery, it would be even better. I don’t think I will be recognized by the youngsters in Rehren when I come home on furlough. Today we escorted a Comrade , that had died here of typhoid , to the Rail Road Station in a Coffin for burial at home. Today it was warm and you could start the plowing soon. I will arrive on the 4th and we can talk a bit more about what has to be done. Greetings from your son

Heinrich
