Dear Parents.

Sending you my best greetings and hope all is well at home. I got your letter # 22 and 24 and 25 and thank you very much. I am on guard today so I have time to write this letter. We are a terrible weather here. When I get mail from home, I am always happy, and even more so when a parcel arrives, because there is always something to eat for me in them. Here in France parcels are still go for 20 Pfennings stamp. I got-your money and | am sending you a small parcel, I will give it to a Comrade that goes home on furlough to deliver it. I just almost fell asleep, I will close now, Many Greetings to you all.

Your Werner.
