France, 19.10.15
Dear Mrs Limbach,
Dear family!
For your kindness in sending me an exceptional
parcel, which gave me great joy, I thank you very much. I will do everything in
my power to make sure Fritz’s grave is well tended. And Iwill always answer
your question and fulfil your wishes. As per your request I have conveyed your
greetings to the comrades.
I hope, dear family Limbach, that over time you
can get over your terrible loss of your so beloved son and our unforgettable
comrade Fritz, and console yourself, like so many mothers, in the knowledge
that there you will see eachother again before our Heavenly Father.
The situation here, on the Western front, as
you will have already read about, is still critical. The crucial moment of our
great struggle seems to be getting nearer day by day, here and in the Balkans.
“Hail victory, God with us!”
With my dearest wishes for your future
wellbeing, and with my greatest thanks, I am
With the warmest greetings to you, as well as
your dear family, also special greetings to your dear husband.
Your’s faithfully
Walter Scheffel
