Russia July 5th 1943
Dear beloved All !
Today I have to write a follow up letter , I met up with my old Comrades again and we just keep on talking and I have to report about things in Germany. My Comrades telling me about the great retreat they did. They tell me I could be happy that I was in Germany at the time. I am with 2 Comrades in a Russian hut, on a real mattress but so far no lice. The locals are not so dirty around here, and I hope it stays like that. I got no horses yet but I found a shelter for the horses already. It is very hot here and I do not like hot sun. I rather have it cold. Send me Sherbert Powder in the next parcel. Also Carbonated Soda it is good for the stomach. I hope that you can send Pudding Powder too, you still got your dried Milk and Acorn Coffee. Greetings to the Gorls I suppose you still can wrap parcels like you use to do 1941-42.
Heinrich.
