Budapest, December 13, 1917
Dear Professor,
Nothing has occurred since your last letter that would have been worth communicating. Only now can I report a few new things.
Dr. Lévy's efforts were successful in freeing me from the hospital in Ujpest. I was reassigned to the Maria-Valeria Hospital, where I also served earlier and where Dr. Lévy is acting commandant. It is much more comfortable here; it is not so terribly far away here, and I am rid of a pedantic, annoying commandant. As an advantage of being transferred I must also consider the fact that I no longer have to serve along with that half-crazy half-swindler Dr. Gonda (our photographer from Csorba). No matter how skillfully he carries out his suggestion cures, his ignorance and his megalomania were becoming well-nigh unbearable to me.—I would already be content if I could wait out the war's end in my present assignment.
