Dear Parents.
As usual Greetings from here and I am very well, and hope you to. This week it was agood week for mail, I got plenty , letters # 19-21-23 and the money. Had a letter from our Ketschau Relatives , one from Gerhard Schrubs, here we have bad weather, rain and hail all the time, last week we had a exercise on Regiment level near St Micheal. Dear Papa, you must remember it from the last war, that’s the rock in the sea where that big church stands on. One can walk to the Island at low tide, that’s were we had the exercise. How is your weather? How is field work going? Have you started on the maneuring? Don’t count on furlough for me, not much in fruit is here. Send me some photos from the last film please.
Greetings to all of you
From your Werner.
