Hello,
I've got this letter in a lot belonged to a soldier fallen in the italian front.
It has been written or received by him just a week before he was killed.
I can read some words here and there. The soldier's name was Albert, and I think we can read it at the end of the letter... But I have no idea about the exact contents.
The Suetterlin is a hard to decipher!
