Dear Parents and Grand Dad !
Tonight a quick letter , | am doing well, and you don’t have to worry about me IfI need a parcel, I might be down for a day or you can come up for a day . 3 days ago I was
transferred to the Stand By Battery and today we had some practice on the guns. We have nice weather and the training is good and I like it. But I hate to be send back to the misery of the front. I have heard rumors that I will be send out tomorrow. Maybe its only a Command for a guard to oversee prisoners, , well we see, I let you know about it. I am hoping to hear from you as well, so all is well here so far. Last night the English dropped a few bombs more into the ruins , so for now, I am sending you Greetings
Your Heinrich.
