20. Hi, Mom! I really miss you, miss you at home. The commander of the strict and harsh, but you can negotiate with him. Our unit has already conquered a couple of important towns captured by the Germans. In these battles, we lost a few soldiers, which is very mourned.
I often think of you, Mom, especially before the fight ... I'm afraid I will not be back and will never see you again. Do you often dream of me in a white coat with daisies, are you talking about me breakfast, gently udybayas and your blue eyes shining. I hope that still come back from the war, I could hug and kiss.

25. Dear Daddy!
... I voluntarily went to the Red Army. The first time the habit hard. Now used to it. All included in its track. I enrolled in a field hospital.
The mood is great, I want to hurry to the front ... I think that at a time like this, you can not sit around and goof off. It is necessary to gain the right to life.
... Was scientists in the field for five days. Dragged "wounded", was connected: my handy skill to ride a horse. Legs currently erased in the smoke, but nothing. Still, however, a little limp, but a great sense of satisfaction you made the case. Our separation was submitted from the command of gratitude for the excellent work.
Write more often. I will abandon my laziness and also will often write.
Kisses to you both tightly.
Cards will soon be ready, be sure to come.
26. My dear family! Hard to you all and embrace the whole. I'm alive and well, feel good. Presented yet another Order. Wrote in the newspaper again. Been fighting well. Likewise, my comrades. Soon the end of the war. Wait, I'll come after the war. Hard to you all and embrace the whole
