Liebe Ernst,
Entschuldige bitte daß ich nur ein paar Worte schreibe, werde Dir aber bald möglichst einen Brief senden.
   Mit freundlichen Gruß
   Dein Paul

Dear Ernst,
Forgive me please, that I write only a few words. As soon as possible I will write you a nice letter.
   With friendly greetings,
   Your Paul
