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.

The parents here. Father slightly better, Mother not very well. We went to see Father’s Drs, they say the operation is necessary.

Last week passed uneventfully. On Saturday we had two letters from the Directory of Finances on account of the new taxes. What a lot of fuss they make, I felt quite flustered, tried to make things, or rather write things ready for them, but couldn’t finish in time. I cooked dinner a bit late for…

Today Rilu (?) ‘phoned that the three of them arrived to Karlsbad alright. It seems only the night journey had such a bad effect on Mother that she was always ill. Here everything alright, Ervin not too late in coming. We had our dinner brought from a restaurant, but it wasn’t very good and no too…

Dr Farkas was extremely kind, he was in a happy mood too no wonder after a rest, and told Father should go by all means. So I took the passports at once to have the visa taken. We phoned Mr Felzenenfeld too and arranged for them to go all the three on Sunday morning.

This was a rushed day. First we went to the cemetery, then to ask for a cert. from Dr. K., he had a swollen check and I hated the sight of him then to arrange the burial. We spent our whole morning so with Ervin. I hardly had time to look after my things had to buy quite a lot of black things. At 2…

August 1st This morning I rang up Leon partly on business, but somehow the line wasn’t in order he couldn’t hear my voice properly and I didn’t want to shout so I rang off. At about 11.30 Dr. Kerekes phoned that Nora’s condition was so on the decline that is was necessary that we come to see her or…

Time I wrote last we went to the Hospital with Father three times weekly. Every other day he is better. They took of the bandages yesterday but this morning he had to go to the Dr for he was not well. It seems he isn’t quite fit yet after all as we hoped. He even thought he might go to Karlsbad but…

Father slightly better after our visit to the Hospital. Dr. Hempel still not overinformative. Means to leave everything to the next operation and Father’s previous stay at their place. It seems Karlsbad will be off after all. I wonder. No sign of Leon. Of course I’ll leave it at that. He must make…

Weather fair at morning later a storm on the way. Father not too well. Has a slight fever but won’t have the Dr called as tomorrow we have to go in. Of course Leon didn’t ring me up though he promised to if we didn’t meet previously. This either means that he was in last night and waited for my call…
