This letter, likely dating from late 1970, details the personal circumstances of the author, Láďa, as he recovers from an accident. He apologizes for his poor communication and describes his physical condition, noting that while his leg is healing, he suffers from persistent neurological issues, including memory loss and confusion. These cognitive difficulties hinder his ability to recall the specifics of shared travels with the recipients. The correspondence also addresses the legal aspects of his accident; the police investigation is moving against him due to a lack of witnesses. Furthermore, the letter reflects the political climate of the era by mentioning screenings occurring at his and Heda's workplaces. Technical setbacks with his camera and the anticipation of developed films are also discussed. Finally, Láďa requests his friends help in reconstructing their travel route to assist his fractured memory. The document provides a glimpse into private life during the normalization period in Czechoslovakia, marked by personal hardship and systemic pressures.
