Vienna, June 3, 1917
IX., Berggasse 19
Dear friend,
By the same mail I am sending you by postal money order the 200 crowns that you had withdrawn as a deposit for us. In this letter I am burdening you with additional wishes and questions, which accrue as consequences of your mediation.
It is, so they say here, not possible to find out in Vienna how the trains go in Hungary. There will also be an insane crush for all trains on the 29th or 30th of the month, or even on July 1. So I ask you to let me know soon whether it makes sense to go by way of Budapest, and how the train goes on from there to Csorba. You see, one could go to Budapest with sleeping car tickets, only one has to reserve them two to three weeks in advance. Also, something authentic by way of the route Vienna-Csolna-Csorba would be very desirable.
I request that you give me the address of the hotel management, etc. whom I can contact. Is Czorbató in Liptau or Szepes County?
Are the prices for room and board really as modest as you have written us (26.80)? Here there are tales about fabulous prices that are only supposed to be within the means of Hungarian landed gentry.
Little new here. Physically, I am well; I already have little to do. The time of waiting for the Lectures, which are still under way. Next time I
