German WWI Real Photo Mailed PC

RON

Well-known member
This is my favorite German WWI Post Card.
Bought on eBay a couple of years ago for............ $13.00!
Can anyone decypher the Regimental Stamp on the correspondence side?
P.S. Note the posting date (mailed exactly 1 week prior to the Armistice!)

It was sent from
K.u.K. 15 Feldartilleriebrigade Kommando

To
Richard Braun
Königshainer Weg I
Mittweida i(n) Sachsen

Lieber Richard
Eine kleine
freude für dich,
mir geht es ???mit
ganz gut.
Es grußt herzlich
dein Vater in felde
Joseph

I am having difficulty with one word, a larger scan of the text would be helpful, the the meaning is clear.

Gus, how you were able to decipher the handwriting is beyond me...
Unfortunately, I don't speak German (only English, French & Lebanese/Arabic).
I'm trying an online translator:
"Dear Richard a small joy for you, I am ??? with very good. It grußt warm your father field"
Crappy translation I guess :)
My guess for that word would be "feeling" ?
 
Hey Ron, the ???mit is one word, I can not think of a word that fits yes, it looks like senmit of fenmit or henmit, but those are not words,
You go pretty close with the translation
Dear Richard
A small joy for you, it goes completely well for me, A heartty greetinig from you father inthe field, Joseph

I suspect that you are aware that K.u.K. stands for Kaiser und Konig, the title of Kaiser Karl of Austria-Hungary at the time of the writing of the card.

Thanks Gus!
I would've preferred it to be 'purely' German but hey, that's not so bad a piece of history for only $13...
 
Thanks Robert, as usuall, as soon as I can see wht it is, I can make it out as plain as day, it would help if my German was better.

Gus
