A funny day. When coming home from church heared that there was a note in the letter box simply overflowing with envy, telling us to give the dog enough to eat. Ervin said we should take no notice of it, I told we should put out a small polite begging those who do, not to give the dog anything,…

The whole week passed in a whirl. Went to the Sophianeum on retreat. It was the best I had since the first with F. Bíró. Stayed in for the whole time on the third day only. Marietta, her goddaughter Miry (?) I + the christened Jewess were in the same company. We kept together. This young woman, the…

Went to a lecture on Elocution. It was grand fun. Really like playacting. I nearly had a fit. I’m going to the farther ones too. The man who is giving the lectures is still quite young, I expected him to be an elderly actor. There was about 30 of us men + women. Quite elderly ones too and some young…

Had a lot to do in town today, went to Martha’s also to see the kid who is ill, took him a Teddy Bear which gave him much pleasure. Had to do at the Clinics which gave a good reason for seeing Vin on account of Mother who was ill all night. Didn’t really want to go, but was obliged to at last. Don’t…

Well I am non-plussed. Had a suspicion since some time not a long one though, that some sort of a female is after my brother. It was her birthday, they said the 34th, which was held at the foaer (foyer?) a place near Kispest. We went to fetch her at their house. I nearly had a fit when she came.…

Still can’t get over after effects of shock of previous day. Can’t say I had a sleepless night but certainly found soliloquy at 3 a.m. most uncomfortable. But as I’m alone to blame, and nothing happens by chance, and if it is, and as it is the will of God it must be for the best and it is 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.…

Phoned to Leon again, spoke with his brother. He is away and to return in about a fortnight. He asked me what message is to send him in his letter, so I just sent my own particular greetings. He was nice. Such a pity they are not Catholics. But then I’d have never met Vin. I suppose, or if I’d have…

Rang up Leon and we made an appointment for noon. Both of us was most punctual. Only I went in at one side of the building while he on the other + both of us came out on a different door. Eventually we met at the car to the great diversion of the driver. He was nice + I tried hard to sound nice too.…

What a day. I had three rows with two Jews, perfectly horrid ones too, but made it up with Leo with whom I spoke through the ‘phone before going out. According to it he is to ring me up on Friday at eight, what an unearthly hour. If he fails me this time he’ll stop existing for me in future. This…
