Dear All!

It is a boring life when one is ill and look at the 4 walls in the room so that is the reason I am writing again today. I just cant

understand why there is no mail coming here, I am longing to get a letter or 2 and some thing nice to eat from Home. I am not feeling good and can not stand on my legs. 11 men here are suffering from Jaundice and that is all because of the in adequate food supply. We just hope that fortunes going to change for the better of us in the spring. You make sure you stay well , I try to do my best in this ”Prussian Army” . Dear Mother , send plenty to eat, have you put down new flooring in my bed room? And try to redecorate the Kitchen too and decorate a room were we can greet visitors on a Sunday. Well, a Thousand Greetings. Heinrich
