Letter. Pista sends his congratulations for ALG's membeship in the French Academy. He asks ALG to send 3 copies of his recent monograph. He will distribute them to two libraries in Budapest. He also asks ALG for some old University of Notre Dame almanachs and old issues of National Geographic magazines. Pista informs ALG of new trends occuring in the social and cultural life of Budapest. The only way Pista is able to send rare stamps for ALG to collect is glueing them on the envelope and attaching the National Bank's permit. He is surprised to hear that ALG feels lonely. He inquiries about the geographical patterns and natural abundance of the State of Indiana and the City of South Bend. Hungarian
