Was at the Cong. this morning and hoped to see Marietta. As she wasn’t there had a sort of a tight feeling that something must be wrong. So after various side tracks, going on a wild goose chase after Cica for instance etc. I called at the Hauers only to hear that my M. (?) presumptive was near to…

We didn’t get the car we chose last week after all for it turned out to be more expensive and while we had an argument about it they sold it someone else. On Friday I went to the Dr who was in the class of a gent. of no ….. (sic) to time. He couldn’t get rid of him. We waited on + on. There were two…

Yesterday we had a great trouble again in convincing Father that we really do need a new car and it is a good investment. Kellner, the man from the Opel service had to come out twice. We have been to see Father Omerovich at the Hospital St Frances of Assisi in Hűvösvölgy. It was quite an excursion.…

She told me long and terrible tales about the moral of “ladies” in the best society. At least in their crowd,…

Though I’m afraid my hair, washed yesterday, wasn’t too good. Quite good fun this photographing business only a bit expensive. She promised to put my photo out…

A very good lecture about the Roumanian situation in reference to the minorities, etc. at the Society for Foreign Affairs. Marietta’s young brother very ill.

A busy day. I had to go the District Committee on account of our machines. Had to wait for ages for one of the engineers. When arriving home Bözsi, whom I made friends with at the cooking course, ‘phoned me with the astonishing news that they were separating with her husband. As she seemed to be the…

Went to the Hauers on account of the will the parents intend making. Listened to Mihály’s (?) good advice on it. Had a long talk with Marietta afterwards.
