My beloved mum, i haven’t written for a long time and i want to make everything right today. I received your lovely letter of june 6, 1943 today. There have to be two airmail stamps on it, but we’re getting 10 per man now. A nun came to reindorfgasse [reindorf] and you were lucky. They usually say nuns are bad luck. You like the pictures, so i’m glad. We don’t have a revolver in front, those are the loops on our belts! mum, why didn’t you mark kelly’s article in the wochen-rundschau? i would have liked to read it. Your package with jewelry arrived with thanks. I had to laugh about the salt, you thought it was right. Thank you very much for that, but since i have enough food here, i have enough salt! at the moment i don't need any "jewelry". If you put something in a package now and then, i'll be grateful. Thank you also for the 1 kg package you sent. I've sent another one to you, and one with coffee went to offenbach! because i would have liked to see the turbulence on the ground in the 20s. /a vacationer is taking the letter with him. /. Date: 16 June 1943.
