Dear Mr László,
Not having heard from my brother since last August, I am taking the liberty to write to you, to find out if, by any chance you happen to know whether he is alive or dead.[1]
I should feel grateful if you could find time to grant me a few minutes conversation, at your convenience, that is to say if, you can conveniently do so, if not I should be glad to hear from you by post…
I am glad to say that I have, for the last thirteen years been a naturalized British subject and have actually a son serving with the British colors he is attached to the Royal Engineers, and that the war has not, so far, affected me materially or otherwise.
Trusting to hear from you, I have the honour to remain | Yours sincerely
