Nothing special happened this week. We did a bit of “spring” cleaning. On Friday Magdi / Mi??? and husband came to see us. She is quite alright. I accompanied them to the East Station and promised to go to see them today. Yesterday again I met Leon. It is getting more than madness and we both…

The painter is here and with him an awful disorder. Leon rang me up when I was still in bed and rand off before I could get to the ‘phone. Later he rang me up however again. We arranged to meet in the afternoon but as he had his Frenchman on his hands I was to ring him up again before starting. I…

After a lot of ‘phoning with Leon on my part our meeting was off. He had a French friend coming. Really the man is the limit. Let me do all the talking. I was at the (empty space) in the evening. The ship was 30 minutes late and Maria was the latest in coming. Somehow she is smaller than I imagined…

The fireplace in the hall was remade today. What a mess it meant. I cooked the dinner and it was excellent except for the soup which was too salty but otherwise hadn’t much of a taste. Erzsi however, dared not say anything against it, I was so amused. Heaps of letters come daily, letters of sympathy…

Early in the morning Mother went to hear the Mass, then we went to the station. The train was 15 minutes late, they had a good place. I do hope everything will be alright. Ervin went away later so we were alone with Erzsi. She went to see her son in hospital in the afternoon so I was alone for a…

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…

Father not too well. Mother nervous. Ervin away with Capt. Takács at the Balaton. We went to see the picture I talked of with Martha. It was interesting in a way, but otherwise a week art. All the actresses were ugly and fat. The scientific part of it was alright but not enough. I came to the…
