[written on a German P.O.W. Postcard]

April 28th/18

Dear Mother:-

Received no letters from you this week. I was to a church service this afternoon conducted by a Y.M.C.A. man from Copenhagen Denmark. He is permitted to conduct services among prisoners at different places. It was very nice and I was very glad to be able to attend.

I suppose Harry is very busy by now with his farming tell him not to work too hard. We will help him to do the extra work when we return. I very often think of home these nice fine days and long to be along side the old lake again.

Lots of Love to all
Ralph.
