Sending you greetings from here I am well and hope you too. Today came the 2 Ib parcel from the 15th . I see the Comrade from Sommerda visited you, Did he say much? If you give him a parcel for me, don’t forget Cigarettes and a pipe for me. I also need a new lighter, did you get the parcel stamps, they should be there long ago. The weather is bad today, rain is coming, please ask the watchmaker whether my watch is ready. My comrade can bring it with him. Write soon, Greetings to all of You.
Artur.
