      I think you’d have more luck trying in a german handwriting sub as the text is mostly written in german. I can make out certain words but I have no idea how to read the handwriting, so…

      It was apparently written in Arlon in june1915 and it starts withe Lieb Annerl which is a “Verniedlichung” of Anna

      This looks like Sütterlin, which is a form of Kurrent. The Germans will know where to direct your query!

      Well thats not a translating problem but more of a decipher problem… i cant read this handwriting…
      I cant even see where “luxemburg” is written for me it looks like “lersnburg)
      Beneath i see “Zoll****something Nro 45 (nummer 45)
      Else i can decipher the top of the writing saying
      “Arlon vom 14 Juni 1915” and then “Limb Annerl” which is probably “Lieb Annerl (cute shortage for Liebe Anna”)
      In the text i can only decipher a few words like “können, in, und, mit” thats all

      Beware hallucinations, but this may come pretty (relatively?) close:

      ​Arlon, den 14. Juni 1915.

      Liebes Annerl!
      Deinen Brief habe ich heute
      erhalten u. mich
      sehr gefreut Eurem
      Wunsche entsprechen zu können
      wir haben in Belgien auch
      sehr heiße Tage haben
      auch schon schwere Gewitter
      gehabt welche furchtbaren
      Regen mit sich brachten
      Es freut mich sehr das die
      Rosen so schön u. herrlich
      blühen und die Erdbeeren
      so gut gedeihen die besten Grüße
      aus dem Feindeslande sendet
      an Euch alle Euer Vater
