-- page 1 --
Aachen 25 August, 1924
Dear Brother,
I guess I could still be waiting for long for any news to come from you, so it will be me to write. Beacuse I can't imagine the reason of your silence.
As you know, our sister Margit has broken our line and left us behind, still young, and while ill, left us in charge of his son. As a brother, it would be my duty to take care of the boy since you yourself have enough trouble with your family, but I have totally failed so far in the uncertain employment situation these days. We do more walking than working here.
--page 2--
But maybe this will not last for long and then I will do my best, whatever my capacities will allow. But what is even worse, I have not received any news from Pest, whereas when Margit died I sent 10 Forints and haven't had any information since whether they received it or not, and I wrote 3 letters but no reply. Why?
In the meantime I managed to spare a few Forints and would like to send it, but since I dont't know if they had received the first one, so I daren't send the second one because this might get lost too, while I would miss it badly these days. If you have received any news from Pest, please write to me so I would know what's happening.
--page 3--
What about you? How are you and your family? Are you all in good health and do you have enough work? Won't you come down here to Heerlen or to Maastricht, so we could have a longer talk. My dreams about visiting you this Summer have vanished. In fact, I can't move now, because the Czechoslovakian consul has withdrawn my passport with a comment that the town of Losoncz did not recognize my eligibility, and I don't understand all this bullshit. Haven't they written to you also in this matter? Please write this to me. If this is the way it will be, I shall be left here eventually without a citizenship, what is not really a problem but about be troublesome until you get other papers.
--page 4--
Your son Lajos is still waiting for me. Tomorrow he will start going to another school and he is still waiting for the airplane to come. And how are the girls doing in their studies, I about imagine how big misstresses they are already. Well, the smallest has grown a lot and starts speaking Dutch, and is your wife in good health, aren't the children vexing her too much? I believe it must be a great joy for the family to be together, and maybe you strive to leave behind your daily troubles on the Scheveningen beach for a few hours. But if it rains there as much as it does here you haven't got too much chance to go to the beach, so I hope you will have enough time to write me soon. Love to you and your wife and children: your younger brother Pals.
Please accept my greetings for your name-day which is today.
