General

Letter. ALG responds to his brother 03/29 letter from The Institute of Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey. He is glad that he is not at home now. Lately he gets frustrated often and then he would drive along the long roads of New Jersey to blow off the air. He doesn't keep in touch with people too much, thus feeling lonesome many times. But it's worth living such a secluded life since it is in the name of scientific truth. Above all, ALG is trying to avoid fellow Hungarians who bragged about their prosperity not long ago, but in fact they are utterly poor. ALG is asking Ottó to take good care of his parents' graves. This is his only earnest request from his brother. He wants Ottó not to forget them. Since Ottó has always been his parents favorite little son, he will, in turn, be of assistance to Ottó and to his future family. ALG regrets that, because of sheer bad luck, he couldn't spend enough time with his parents while they were alive. He plans this summer to sell his old car and buy a new Landcruiser that is the biggest car offered by Studebaker. He knows that it's Ottós favorite. He also asks a favor from his brother to invite Mr. Horanszky Imre over to his apartment. Hungarian
