Rothenburg Feb 25th 1943
Dear Parents and Grand Dad !
This morning I got the large parcel and fathers letter from the 22™ so thank you very much for both. Time has come now that I will be release by March 4th, the furlough 4 weeks, only partial fit for service until May 4th. Today I was examined and I am the last one to go from those that arrived here last October. The others are long gone now, Maybe Major Lange can do something for me. In your letter were 10 Marks for me, thank you very much, but don’t send anymore parcels, I got plenty for the train trip home. Also cease all letter sending to me now, . Yes the war has brought misery to many. Now Fr. Bredemeier and Karl Meese are missing, Was Wilhelm Bade on the eastern front? He is on furlough now. More when I come home.
