Theo, I have received your card. I was very happy, because it took quite a long time before I got one from you. But that’s how it goes, old boy. Now Theo, we are both still in good health and hope the same for you. Say Theo, what have I heard? Are you coming home on leave again soon? Well, I’m glad about that. If I haven’t seen you for 2×24 hours, I already find it long enough — and I’ll tell you that too. Now, write me the day with … and I will come and fetch you. Theo, greetings from me and mother, and from a little rascal who calls herself Annie. Goodbye Theo”
