General

Letter. Ottó thanks ALG for his last letter, in which ALG expresses concern about his letters causing inconvenience to his brother. But Ottó responds that the letters are of no nuisance whatsoever since now Hungary is a free country where people choose freely who they correspond with. Thus opened or damaged letters received by ALG are just a postal clerk's insolence, nothing else. Ottó is making sure that ALG will be getting the books he requested from the library. He asks his brother to send him a list, typed on a letterhead, of the titles the university needs. With this letter, he will then go and ask his friend, Dr. Szabó Tóni, for help. Ottó is sorry for ALG spending Christmas alone. His plan is to spend Christmas, just as before, in their family home at Pécs, where their father passed away. Ottó has always been a true blue Hungarian. Subsequently he will fight for his land, the house and for all the memories attached to them. Meanwhile Ottó tries to deliver some of ALG's belongings to Mr. Paulay, as ALG requested. But he is not able to get in touch with them. Hungarian
