48 September 30 th , 1914. Many thanks for your dear letters which with few exceptions up to No. 36 have reached me. I am glad you are well, but you are all somewhat spoiled in Berlin. We cannot run to Paris at a rate of 40 kilometres a day—have patience and confidence. We have been, and still are most successful and even now, in spite of our retrait our position has never been better. All attempts of superior forces to break through our ranks have failed, also several fierce attacks on our right wing. The next decisive battle is to be fought elsewhere and will, I trust, release us. Of course inv aviation reconnoitering trips continue as the hostile artillery must be located. For weeks the front ranks in some places have lain not more than 300 m. from the enemy, remaining day and night in the trenches ready for immediate action. The slightest movement may cost a life. Yesterday I was in the old Fort; it is within our position and in our possession, but the enemy continues bombarding it. Thank Heaven they seem to have no heavy guns. Inside it is quite safe, but outside it is terrific. On our return we were given horses in order sooner to reach the valley. For the first time I saw heavy common shells strike and found them much more to my liking than shrapnel-shells. They whistle by, bore a large hole into the earth and diffuse a frightful yellow cloud of sulphur. What a horrible fate to be hit in the head by one! (Berl. Lokal-Anzeiger, October 8, 1914.)
