My beloved mother! once again, i send you greetings from the bottom of my heart. I suppose my first letter has already arrived? in the meantime, i was transferred from the general company to a training marching company. On the first day there, my stomach pains and diarrhea came back. I immediately reported sick and went to the doctor. The doctor sent me to the infirmary, which is a sick ward in the barracks. I am now lying here in the infirmary and i am doing very well. I am being given white bread and tablets. There are lovely white beds here and it is heavenly quiet. The others in the company are working hard; today is a 40 km march! i'm glad i'm here [i can at least write now. ] (on the right edge of the letter - vertically) how long does it take for the mail to get to you? Date: 17 February 1944.
