Hungarian forced-labor brigade mail: postcard with maroon 12 Filler pre-paid postage stamp, postmarked 16 Mar. 1943 from Budapest. Postcard is in maroon-red print, from the Royal Hungarian Press, and dated "Budapest 1943". The card was sent from Flesche Pal of the 707/1 Work Company in Diosek to Biro Eudieue sub-letting at Taub Ferenc in Budapest. Biro's name appears as "Ilava" in the other two later-dated cards, suggesting that the writer may have married her sometime after this card. Pal writes: "My love, I arrived alright at the transit camp in Berezbem. I hope that you also feel well. My little one, parting from you was hard. Unfortunately there's not much hope. I wear your soul on me."

Hungarian forced-labor brigade mail: postcard with maroon 12 Filler pre-paid postage stamp, postmarked 19 Dec. 1944. Postcard is in maroon-red print, from the Royal Hungarian Press, and dated "Budapest 1944". It is postmarked from Budapest and stamped with a "T" cachet, and sent to Mekes Lojos in Budapest. Although the sender's name is not identified and no labor company code appears on the content, this card is part of the same consignment of labor company mail, and its content makes clear from where the sender is writing: "To my sick wife, we have arrived here. We are sleeping on the floor. We have not been fed. There are so many people that the Jewish charity organization can't supply food. If you or someone else would be able to send food, the gate here is open on 9th of November, between 2-4pm. I would gladly pay whatever the price. I would really like cigarettes. Thank G-d I have my health, but my poor wife, I don't know if I can hold up."
