Contents Summary

The folder contains two letters addressed to Joseph Stalin. The first is typewritten in French (3 pages), and constitutes the record of "an imaginary conversation [I am having] with you, when I am preoccupied with important issues, for which I find no echo in my surroundings [entourage]." A handwritten Hungarian translation (4 pages) by an unknown author, possibly an archivist or researcher of the Lukács Archive, is attached to this letter. The second letter to Joseph Stalin is typewritten in Russian (6 pages). Neither document is mentioned in the handwritten inventory made by Ferenc Csóka in the early 1970s, although the inscription on the folder appears to be his handwriting.
