My beloved mother! oh, if i could still hug you and hold you close, i will only do so in spirit. I have some time now, i am sitting in the trench and writing to you. The fact that it is not nice and dirty will not bother you. Yesterday it rained again and now we all look like pigs. You will have noticed that i am back in action, but please do not worry too much about it, the main ruble is already over and that too will pass. I have got used to it again now [it is nothing new anymore. ]. Date: 19 August 1943.
