Now I see the dear person can phone me when it is a question of business. Our offer to one of the firms was shown to him which I find incorrect of them. It was much lower than the price they usually had, so it was rather disagreeable for him. Serves him right. – Peace has broken out. No war for the…

On account of Jewish holidays our Monday cooking had to be postponed. Leon is away for Monday too. Holidays I suppose. People are dreadfully upset. Houses are being prepared for air raids, cellars are being built. Gas mask can’t be found. Sugar, lard, coffee etc. is being bought in great quantities.…

This morning I spoke with Leon. I’m getting tired of the affair at least of my part in it. I know he is very busy etc. but if I count he must take more care, if not why not give up the whole thing. We made an appointment for the evening, so I had to give up an interesting lecture in English in the…

Cooking quite nice. People are getting too excited about the war. All the houses are being prepared for an air raid, at least they are supposed to be. We have nothing at all, not even the sand put in the garret.

This afternoon we went to the cemetery with Cica and to the cinema afterwards. It was a Hungarian film.

I went to see Margareth in the New St. John’s Hospital. The second little son is born. I didn’t like the room, but the corridors, the entrance hall + the building on the whole is nice. It should be the other way around. She is alright, the kid just an ordinary yelling red baby. I told her there’ll…

Father quite alright and coming home. Yesterday all day I tried to get Leon but my ringing was not answered. So I tried again this morning and spoke with his brother. Ha asked if he wouldn’t do and I answered, I’m afraid with too much rigour, that he wouldn’t. Well I’m sure no one would. Except…

Alone all week. The operation was done this morning it is a success. According to the Drs. Father feeling well, but I felt faint this morning when I saw all the blood etc. and couldn’t bear the smell. Such a nerve reaching odour. I wasn’t feeling so ill since ages. Nearly thought I couldn’t go home,…

Father went into Hospital again. At present they are doing examinations only but the operation is necessary. He has a lovely big room above the entrance and a new nurse. Dr. Farkas is awfully nice, little Rotterheim (?) also.

This afternoon I talked with Leon on the ‘phone. I rang him up. It really is difficult to understand the man. According to my opinion he doesn’t make me of every opportunity if getting in contact with me but if it happens, he behaves as if he did. May be men are different. He told me he was leaving…
