I hope that you like the new uniform and also fit and urge you to take great care of it, since, as you know, new clothes are not available at all in the war. If you write to me again, try to write very cleanly and correctly. You are now a middle school student and must first of all note that you can scream your own mother tongue clean and neatly. In your letter were also a whole series of fugitive mistakes, which prove to me that you are a very scattered boy. If you write a letter to your father, you have to be with your thoughts at the letter screams yourself and don't think again about your Lausbübe ries, which you plan to do. So I expect from you very soon a properly written letter, in which you prove to me that you are able to go to a German middle school. $x\/4$
