Letters from the Front (II)

[From the letters of Hazavágyódó Miklos...]

Dear Miklos,

Thank you for the last letter. The money you send does help, but the prices here are growing much faster than your salary can provide. They have been recruiting for a new Army all over the country, and I have been helping at the offices in Gyula for a small salary. It is only a little more than what is required to pay the nurse, and the rest, with what you send, is almost enough to keep Janos and I fed. László--you remember the yellow-haired officer here--says there may be other work available at the headquarters, and I look forward to the opportunity.

We get much military news here. I am sorry to hear of your terrible retreat, but I am glad that you are well. László says that you should not include information of your location in your letter, as it might reveal tactics to our enemies. Please stay unhurt, Miklos, and stay warm.

Your wife,

Anna
