We are very much upset. The Austrian president was forced to abdicate, Seyss Inquart asked the Germans to go into Austria. The man is mad. I don’t think I’m mistaken if I think his name will be coupled with the most appropriate adjective of traiter. Maybe though that he is only a tool in the hands…

Went to see Ami as tomorrow is her nameday. Her sister + s. in law were there a nephew + Sándor. She is leaving on next day. It was a cheerful little visit. Been invited to the xxx’s party Juli + relatives arrange from time to time. Of course I accepted with thanks, though the first had to be…

Had to give an offer on our products for use of the Euch. Cong. Told them at the same time I was willing to offer my English knowledge, but I’ll have to apply for a post at the Head Offices. Went to Cica afterwards. Was late for the av. lecture. There was a man at the door already who thought it was…

Vali’s exam. concert tonight. Quite interesting. She was sweet, but Vin’s friend was art itself. She is a bit tall though. But her voice is clear, strong, beautifully modulated and cultured. She sang a difficult pastor (?). She had a great success. – Vali was most unfortunate, there was nearly a…

The av. lectures are rather good, these Monday ones especially. The lecturer looked most handsome in his uniform. What a difference an attire (!) makes. I’ve found out he looks like Ernő. Remind me of him. We are getting on fine with my little fair neighbour. Talked to me most of the time, explained…

Big walk. Glorious weather again. 14 oC, saw a nice little piece in the Royal Ap. “Magda’s expelled.” Quite good one, though naive.

Glorious weather. Been out in the morning at the Offices of the Water Works. A friendly official took my case. Liked him. Went to see Cica + Marcsi later.  – Had a letter from Ernő about the glass set yesterday. – Gymn not too good tonight.

Had a talk with Vin on the ‘phone. Unsatisfactory. Thing’ll have to be stopped. Definitely. Like the other.

Nothing all day. Letters to write. Av in the evening. Just found out how nice that blond fellow is, on my right. Never noticed him beforehand though he seemed to be making friendly advances all the time. Quite a charming fellow. The girl in front didn’t seem to like our friendly talk though poor…

Had a row with Mother, who strangely enough thought I was going to work instead of visiting Ami. I really can’t understand her. Yesterday she had nothing against my going. So I went on bus got here in the last minute, nearly. Only four people were there. Ami was sweet. My presentiments were right. I…
