June 7. Wednesday.
I remember, [strikethrough] at [/strikethrough] around the end of the first war [strikethrough] WW I, there
seemed to be less and less sense in the whole affair
(there was not, on our part). We were told
entirely different versions and I had no suspicions
then. The credit must be given to [strikethrough] this present war, [/strikethrough] when
that general interest [strikethrough] grows [/strikethrough] increased all the time (the first three
years had been [strikethrough] phony, looking on allies side [/strikethrough] relatively eventless on the side of the Allies)
operations seem to be parts of a monstrous
mathematical equation, with so many unknown
[strikethrough] facts [/strikethrough] factors.

I am told that Márta [strikethrough] would be [/strikethrough] had been caught for hiding
Jewish property. I shall hear more from Mamuci,
may be.

Stettinius states that Portugal has stopped wolfgram
supply towards Germany, guess, when? Yesterday!
How well timed.

Same night. I just had a dish of vegetables,
it cost me almost 7 p’s and besides, I had
to work hard preparing it [strikethrough] like a nigger. [/strikethrough]

satisfied with the invasion. Showing off.
