Lothar's craft

"Dear Mum! Thank you very much for your lovely letter, which I was really happy to receive. It's wonderful that Lothar is doing so well again, but he should make sure he recovers properly before he goes back to work. Above all, that means being in perfect health. What do you think of the tremendous successes we are suddenly having in the East? Now everyone is hopeful again. Those were the Russians' last unsuccessful attempts. Now we should offer them favourable terms and be able to agree with them on a special peace. Professor Busch is here now, drawing me constantly. He is a well-known artist and has captured me very well, as well as Papa. He also wants to paint Lothar. I am already doing quite well. I am walking around and want to fly again soon."
