General

Letter. Ottó uses a secret language to explain ALG his plans to leave the country. He pretends to write about somebody else, not him, when listing the countries where he could go. He thanks ALG for his help going to Canada, via Prága. The other option would be to just run across the border, to Bécs or another nearby city. But if he leaves, there will be no way back to Hungary soon, unless the authorities catch him back and bring him back, which is the nightmare scenario. Ottó asks ALG to send more information about the Canada plan, adding that this, and the other plans to flee the country, are very risky. He would immediately send an express letter to ALG when he arrives to his destination. When he visited the Norbertinum he took ALG's nice leather suitcase back with him and safeguards it for him.
