Transcription:

From this card you
cannot possibly imagine
the splendor of the country
when it is laid out
so wonderfully in the sun.
Now I must return
to working with the spade!
We lie on our bellies all
afternoon and dig! Hard
work! –
Goodbye!
Yours, Ant [Anton] Peschka

Thank you for
the two beautiful
cards.

Gerti [Gertrude Peschka] can certainly tell you
how long I will be staying here.

Any usual postal packages will reach me! – I will probably stay until May.
