L. Schwester
Mir geht es immer gut + hoffe dasselbe von Dir + Frau ... Hier ist nicht sehr viel los + kann man als [Zivilist] sehr wenig hier [was] machen. Denn die Soldaten werden immer vorgezogen. Es grüßt Dich herzl.
Dein Bruder,
Emil
Schreibe bald.

Keetmanshoop"		 "Keetmanshoop 4th November 1907
Dear sister,
I always am well and hope the same of you and wife. Here there is not much to do and as a civilian one can do/make even less. Then (life as a) soldier is always preferred. 
Hearty Greetings,
Your brother,
Emil
Write soon.
From- Rider Hettich,
5th Company – Kabus,
Keetmanshoop"
