Lothar's crash

Ein Heldenleben, Ullstein & Co, 1920 p. 203??

23 March 1918
Avesnes-le-Sec

“You have now received my telegram informing you of Lothar’s fall. Thank God he is doing very well. I visit him every day. So please don’t worry about anything. He is already doing quite well. His nose bone has already healed, only his jaw is cracked, but all his teeth are intact. He has a large bruise above his right eye, but the eye itself has not been damaged. He has bruises on his right knee and on his left leg from the calf down. The blood that Lothar vomited did not come from internal injuries, but he swallowed it during the fall. He is in the military hospital in Cambrai and hopes to be out in a fortnight. He is just very sorry that he cannot participate now.”
