Dear Parents and Grand Dad !
Yesterday I got the letter that was mailed to the old FP # and I am glad to hear from you . I am back with my old Comrades in the Battery. G. Dickmann from Bad Nenndorf is with me and I got 2 horses again. They not very good but I don’t mind, they from the Army Horse Pool. It is very hot here too, and we are allowed to wear shorts but we are very busy building Bunkers and shelters for the horses. . After my jaundice illness I have a dry liver and have to drink a lot of water. I see that you soon start on the alterations at home, so you must have solved the stone transport business . I hope you havea better hay harvest this year and your wheel you ordered has come? Anything else new? When will the war be over? Answer: One day. Now my wishes I need Sherbert Powder, Pudding, Oats , Sugar and some Maluti Drink. All ina good parcel, so for now wish you a nice summer and stay well.
A thopusand Greetings Heinrich.
