Dear All back Home !
Yesterday I got the 1st Parcels again from you. 1 large and 4 small parcels and thank you very much for it all. I already made myself a pot of pudding and its great, and its nice to know , that I have Parents that send me all this. Now I have once again enough for breakfast like I did in Braunschweig. If only the end of the war was in sight. Ours is the only Battery left in the old Position , the other Batteries are engaged in a heavy battle . We can not move, our Horses are all ill and so we stay in the rear. Not bad for us, we are far from the front. Are you busy in the harvest? If Weber says our rye is good, he means it, are the Cows ok ? Do you feed Clover and other greens? I would like to have a few of our horses here, long legged and strong. Will the Garage be done this summer? Do you help or is it done under contract? It must be hard to get all the material together , well for now I close as I have a n afternoon nap.
Greetings Heinrich
