O.U. October 24th 1943
Dear Parents.
Sunday today and I send you my best greetings and tell you that I am well. Hope the same from you. I got your Card # 7 and the parcels 13-14 & 15 and also got the money. How was it the Duce escaped, from us or from the enemies. We ended up here in a lonely place with nothing to buy and we were told that there have not been any German Soldiers here. The people are friendly enough. Only the English Bombers are here day and night, how are things at home? You done with the potatoes? How is Prince and the colt? All well I hope, I will close now and lets hope we see each other gain.
Your Werner
The place where we are is Miniac / Morvan ( Poland)
