Transcript

[start page - English translation] Do not write between the lines! [Print] 27/2.18. My dear Tille and Gretchen! Today I have the opportunity to write the 18th letter and can let you know that I am still alive and well, which I hope of you as well. I still enjoy being here because now we received a piano and we also have piano players here. With this the evenings are not quite so long. Also, on sundays we go to concerts. Life is made as enjoyable as possible. Dear Tille, you think that is would be horrible in captivity, no, it is better than in the trenches, the food is also good and I still enjoy the work. Well I will soon receive a letter from you, a few have been distributed already. Dear Gretchen how are you, do you still enjoy going to school, you will probably also write a letter to me. Now I must close as the paper comes to an end. Therefore I am sending you my dearest greetings and kiss you a thousand times from your Willi and Gretchen's father. My best greetings to all acquaintances. Good night. [end page]
