Well, I suppose spring will come to southern Russia with all his might one day. I am staying in Russian house right now and sleep on the warm oven I got a chair and a table the underwear will be washed, I can wash myself but the lice will stay with us. We here on the most southerly part of the Russian front and on longtitude we are behind Moscow . 2 Kilometers to the right of us are the Italians, that’s the place were Russians try to break through. It has been quiet here since the dav atter Christmas . It looks like we will be in Russia tor next summer if only we have no more winters here. | am still ok and hope you too, | hope that the spring work can be managed by you, , iw ish Father you would buy a tew more machines like corn Blower, Cutters etc. Saving to much money Is pointless, 1 can send you 1UU Marks every 6 weeks , one day tarm machinery will get scarce.
