Dear All back home !
Now once again I have to write and it always seems to be such a hard decision and I already slept the first night here, , the featherbed in
Rothenburg was nice, but then, here it is still better than in Russia, Recently I was in room 48 now I am in room #62 Fritz Siegmann nad a few of the other old Comrades are here too. On Monday will be my last examination with the Chief Surgeon. After that the easy life will stop, and the marching starts again. I still can do the marching I think. I just had my Lunch, Barley soup and my own bread and eggs for after. By the time I end this letter , the card game that started early this morning, will continue we only play for a tenth of a penny, I like to play a bit because otherwise my thoughts go to much back to Russia, But I do not know anything new, . Did all the duck eggs hatch? How far is the new Garage? What you doing in the fields now? Next time I come home on a pass, I will come via Hameln , I get fed up with waiting for a train in Hannover.
Now Greetings YOUR Heinrich
