Letter 348

Nov.21* 1943

Dear Parents.

Greetings from here and I am well, hope you too at home. This week I had a lot of small parcels, # 38-50 and #1 -7 all came on one day. Also got letter # 20 and glad to hear from you, I thank you very much for all the parcels but once I had 5 letters with no numbers. I am still with BungruB, he is in a different platoon. It is cold here, we have frost every day. You can send me my pullover and the gloves, we will not be issued with winter wear because we are still in a reserve Battalion. I am going to the dentist every few days in Saint Malo, as I got another inflammation on a tooth. I almost go crazy with pain. I had a letter from the Ketschaus in Udestedt. Tomorrow I am back at the dentist another tooth will be pulled. How far are you with field work? Do not count on me to come and help, and Christmas we will be here too. Before I get furlough, a few months will go by. Everything is the same here, what is new at home?

I will close now sending you Greetings.

Your Werner
