If it were not such a joy - as much as we are able to feel any at this time - to receive a letter like yours, and from someone about whom I have never stopped thinking for a single day with ever increasing tenderness, what a relief it is already to read those pages in which there is no mention of “the Boche”, “their Kultur”, “crying like a little child”, “little sister”, nor the rest of it. All things that we can easily tolerate the more we suffer when we think about the martyrdom of the soldiers and officers, so moved are we by their sacrifice.
