"Abs: H. Stüve Ers Land Batt [sic!]
Schleswig Reg 84, 4 Komp 5 ???,
Molke [sic!] Kaserne"

Abs = Sender
Ers Land Batt = Ersatz Landwehr Bataillon
Reg 84 = Infanterie-Regiment 84
4 Komp = 4th Company

Stationed in Schleswig in the Moltke barracks.

"Liebe Frau Fel???" means "Dear Ms Fel???" and not "Dear wife" :) , the rest of _The_General_s translation is correct.

Regards
Mark

Good point 8O , I think it reads "Feldpostkarte" though, because you can see "...rte" on the other scan. :D
