Dear All at home !
Time for me to write again, and yesterday I got the letter and told me , that you got home ok. Lieschen in
Oldendorf has send me a train time table for the next furlough. She marked the trains very well. If only I could get a weekend pass, we can get a pass if we do not use the Rail Road so what
alternative is there, hitch hike or with a bicycle? My two comrades from Eyten will try the hitch hike tour, . Funny enough, Civilians can use the rail Road but not us the Soldiers. I have to write to you that I need some money, beer is so nice in warm weather, I don’t know when I will have the next beer once I am on the front again. On my address you will see a new place, I packed the suitcase and moved again, and I just returned from Major Wagners and he is the new Commander and wants me to clear his room up I will try and get that as a permanent job , it would be nice for me, house maid for a Major, if that is the case, let Major Lange know, and he can contact him and I have new hope now and will drink to that tonight. Tomorrow morning at 7 I suppose to start that job. Maybe he can help me to get furlough too, and in a few days I tell you more. That will be all for now
Greetings Your Heinrich
