Darlings (Sweethearts),

Finally the long-awaited moment has come. Only 50-70 kilometers left, and I’ll be on the forefront, but as we say, we still have to get there, “little” unpleasant things might happen on the way.

Since the war has begun, I’ve already seen enough. It makes me want to get to the front as soon as possible and help our troops at least with something.

I’m writing you from Teehvin, a city which was captured by Germans for a month last year. They’ve destroyed a lot here.

As I wrote before, I didn’t have time to see Shura, but I might be able to see my husband.

Don’t wait for my letters too often, but ill try to write. Id like to write you more, but as you understand, I’m not allowed to. I still don’t have an address but I’ll let you know it as I have it.

Lots of kisses!

This is a 3^rd letter, since I left.
