Schaulen,. How far are you with the harvest? Have started bringing some of it in? Did all the other Ketschaus come to help? I got your letter # 9 and the newspapers, now I have eaten all that you send me except the can of blood sausage.Did you get the 60 Marks and when will you send a parcel?

Your Werner.
