Is anyone able to translate this 1914 postcard my grandfather sent to his sister in 1914?

1Welcome to G&FH SE! As a new user be sure to take the Tour to learn about our focussed Q&A format which is quite different from bulletin boards, discussion forums and other Q&A sites you may be used to. What parts of the postcard have you already translated, or at least taken a guess at? Our volunteers are usually happy to help with where you are stuck on your translation but we do not offer a translation service of full documents, even small documents like postcards.– PolyGeo ♦Mar 2, 2020 at 0:26

There is a "Genealogy Translations" group on Facebook that I have found very helpful in the past.– Marshall ClowMar 2, 2020 at 0:45

There is also reddit.com/r/kurrent which can help transcribe letters.– Peter KühneMar 2, 2020 at 9:04

1Because of "Edits must be at least 6 characters; is there something else to improve in this post?" in this comment: "Würtemberg" is missing a t: "Württemberg" and I read the original as "an Euch u Eltern" instead of "an Euch & Eltern". I also think it might be "Ulm a/ Donau". Mar 2, 2020 at 12:15
