December 8, 1970 letter from the Koleszar Family - page 1

I.
Košice December 8, 1970

Our dear little Pista (Stevie), little Babi, and your beloved children, we waited for your letter a very long time. We were faced with many unpleasant predicaments when we changed apartments. We sold ours and we paid for the other one. The lady took the money and gave it to her son. He then bought a motorcycle and the lady then refused to leave her home. Finally with much difficulty she finally left. We were able to move in on November 24th. The place is really nice, it has two rooms, but is rather neglected and in dire need of repair. We are working day and night to get it into order. Uncle Gyula is helping us. Soon we will forget what a big annoyance this all was for two months straight. In the tall ground floor, there are 9 stairs that lead to the apartment. In the other apartment as you have seen, there were 45 stairs that we had to go up to reach our apartment. Uncle Gyula was not at all able to make it up the stairs. In no time I would no longer be able to make it the trek up the stairs either. What’s the most important is that we are almost done with the repairs to the apartment. My hands cannot take much more because we had to repaint everything. It should all be done by the time Christmas arrives. Little Pista, you are a great person, along with Beverley. We cannot forget you guys.
