In his own words written in pencil on a postcard and postmarked 01.2.63 (translated from Polish):
My dear Eugene III,
Received you letter today. Thank you for the feastday greetings and for the picture which is very beautiful. If an occasion presents itself for recognizing this ______________ talent for dramatics, then I wish you luck, because you may make a career of it and become rich. For the past four years unfortunately I've been bedridden for I have hardening of the arteries and hence cannot walk, and a weakening of my heart, despite having lived 87 years, hence every month is like the preceding one. I'm sending you all most heartfelt greetings.
Sincerely yours, Zdzislaw
