Translation
“Written 23 June 1918. Dear Seurold family! Since I have some time, I want to send you a little card. I’m still doing all right so far, and I hope the same goes for all of you. What are the girls up to? I’ll come and visit you soon; I’m planning to go home on leave before long. Write to me again sometime too. I’m always glad when I get mail from you. Best regards, Walter W…del, 2nd Company / 181.”
