My beloved mother! so that you can see that i arrived safely, i want to send you my heartfelt greetings from here. Yes, mamschl, everything went well. We got my brother straight away; he was pretty solid, he looked like he was when we took the handcuffs off. After the alarm went off, we went to the westbahnhof; i was the first to take him. The train wasn't running there, so we had to go to franz-jos. -bahnhof [franz-josefs-bahnhof vienna]; the train to dresden left at 4:20 p. M. We got a compartment to ourselves. In dresden we got a nice train to halberstadt. We arrived exactly 24 hours later, at 4:20 p. M. Today. At the office they were happy that we arrived safely with our brother. Date: 29 December 1944.
