Wednesday, June 30, 1915
Rain – rain – endless rain – it suits
my mood. I wrote to Farkas [1]
yesterday – [asking] how Egon might be able to change [his]
situation. – This afternoon, Egon was allowed to
come into town for barely one hour – “a day off”
for the first time – hopefully things will get better now. I’m
trying to find lots of things to do – so that I don’t
start worrying. – It would be no wonder
||
But then I think of Egon, who must endure
so much worse – and things become more
bearable for me.
