My beloved mother! once again i greet you from the bottom of my heart. I arrived in this city yesterday from smolensk, spent the night here, now we want to see how it goes. A lot has changed, we first have to look for our unit. Write down the old field post number, if you get your mail back with the note "wait for new address", don't worry, i will write to you immediately if that happens. Today is sunday, how lovely it was just a week ago. I am sitting here in the soldiers' home and waiting for lunch, this afternoon i may go to the cinema at the front, tonight i will sleep here. Otherwise i'm fine, healthy and cheerful, and i still have enough to eat. I saw a newspaper and it says that dr. Heinrich hoffer from graz has fallen, was anni her husband? what else is new at home? i can tell you one thing, dear mum, i was very lucky with my holiday, a lot happened during that time! Date: 16 August 1943.
