Dear Parents.

Today I can at least write to you again. I had not written for 2 days, as I had no time and opportunity to do so. Sending you greetings and telling you I am ok, and hope you as well. I had no mail for a few days now, but it will come any day now. What is new at home? Is Werner now at his RAD Post? I write to him almost every day. I can not write much from here, I have to save on writing paper, most of it is in my back pack at the rear. The weather is average here, this morning fog, the sun came out at noon, and by 7 PM it was freezing again.

I will close now for today, and hope to hear from you, and wish I could see you soon.

Your Artur.
