Dear Beloved All !

Last night at 11 PM I arrived here . The heavy box I had to carry on my back and so my furlough is over. This morning I got my Wehrmachts Items back again. And then I took the Horses out. I have to get used to it again but here things are still the same. I gave Erwin the Parcel and he was a happy Soldier, 4 of your parcels arrived while I was away and my Comrades divided the content amongst them. Everyone was happy that I was back. My Horses are getting bigger and bigger, they had not done a thing for 2 weeks, Have done more to the basement drainage? Let me the progress Anything else going on at home? Fresh back fro furlough I will start my job again. The Weather is good and do not be surprised if we move out from here . I enclose a few Photos again and I will close for now3 , heartfelt Greetings. Heinrich.
