In the East Sept 8 1943

My dear All at Home !

Outside, in this heat, I will do my duty and write a short note. We are at present in a hard battle but I am ok. I hope you too, we have to defend ourselves with numerous Enemy Panzers and there is no safe place for us and it keeps going on. When will all this end please keep on praying so I can come back to you and my home village , you pray too Grand dad. I am always happy to get your letters, I read them many times over. That is all for today until next letter I send you Greetings

Your Heinrich

I need Cotton, and gloves for the winter.
