When you go to see dad, tell him that i have been thinking of him too and give him my regards! we can't give each other presents, but that is the least of it and we will make up for it later. We got a lot of very good things here. A bottle of wine each for each of us, and two men a bottle of sparkling wine and schnapps. A big bag with apples, biscuits and candy. The party gave us a big box of kecks cigarettes, candy and a book. A lot is done for us soldiers in the hospitals. The bdm [bdm = league of german girls] sang, the district leader gave a speech, it was very nice. Now to me. I'm doing great, i can get up and have already gone out. Troppau is very nice and the people are friendly. My legs are almost completely healed.
