Administrative Information These papers came to us after Gabriel's death from his files in the Medieval Institute, from his private office, and from his executor. Preferred Citation Astrik L. Gabriel Papers (ALG), University of Notre Dame Archives (UNDA), Notre Dame, IN 46556 Scope and Content Papers of Astrik L. Gabriel (ALG) dating 1929-2005. The bulk of the material falls between 1948 and 2000. This time span starts with his arrival in the United States and ends a few years prior to his death. There are very few documents from his earlier life because he was forced to flee his native country and left behind almost all his books and papers. All information pertaining to his life in Hungary comes from his correspondences with his colleagues and friends. The collection contains articles, programs, receipts, postcards, posters, cards, newspaper clippings, lecture notes, research notes, pamphlets, bibliographies, resumes, scrapbooks, books, book reviews, applications, catalogues, certificates, passports, diplomas, recommendations, invitations, prayers, prints, business cards, minutes, nominations, invoices, Federal Express mailing sheets, stationary, telegrams, personal papers from before his life in the United States, and photographs of himself, his friends, his work, or locations of interest to him. The material concerns Gabriel's role of Editor-in-Chief of the Texts and Studies in the History of the Mediaeval Education, his publications, his role as a member and president in the International Commission for the History of Universities, his personal and professional correspondence, his awards and honors, publicity he received, his personal library, conferences, travels and travel grants, Hungarian events, his lectures, classes he taught, committees on which he served, his role as Director of the Medieval Institute at Notre Dame, the Ambrosiana Microfilm and Photographic Collection project, visiting professorships, and religious appointments and affiliations. Most of the documents are in English, although a large number of documents are in Hungarian. Correspondence with his family is in Hungarian. There are also items in Italian, German, French, Spanish, and Latin. Enikö Janko has provided English summaries of the Hungarian documents; in these summaries, the family name appears first followed by the given name. The family correspondence consists mainly of letters exchanged between Astrik L. Gabriel (ALG) and his brother: Ottó Gábriel, also called Cuca, his nephew: Ottó- László Gábriel Junior (Ottó's son), and his sister-in-law Mary, i.e. Maria Tarr or Mariska. Stephanie Fox listed the folder titles and put the documents into new acid-free folders. She wrote the Scope and Content Note and the Biographical Sketch. Most of the files in the collection came from Gabriel's file cabinets and remain in the order he established. Personal and family documents came from his private office. Enikö Janko put these in chronological order within categories such as Personal Correspondence, Family Correspondence, Postcards.

In 1948, Gabriel came to the United States and taught at the University of Notre Dame.

Gabriel's Publications1925-1972 CALG 2/07.01 Article summarizing ALG's talk in Toronto, "Anglo-Saxon and Hungarian Cultural Relations During the Middle Ages" At the end of his talk, ALG said that sadly today St. Stephen's Admonishion in particular and Christian Humanism in general are disregarded, and thus Hungarians are not free to visit great Western European institutions any more. Hungarian CALG 2/07.02 ALG reviews a facsimile edition of a series of old Hungarian monuments and rare manuscripts ALG gives a detailed historical account of the second volume in this series, the so called "Apor-kodex", which is a book of psalms from the Middle Ages, handwritten in Transylvania, and bestowed upon the baron Apor family by Premontre nuns.

Hungarian CALG 2/07.04 ALG's article in New Man, "Catholicism's fight in a good quarrel for the masses"1946/1013 In the first part ALG remembers the day in September 1939 when the war breaks out in Paris and he has to say goodbye to his priest friends. Just before leaving Paris, ALG interviews Abbé D., who works in the heavy industry in one of Paris's many suburbs. ALG visits him in the factory to find out that, while doing just as hard manual labor as the other workers, his friend is there to fulfill the role of an apostle. Abbé D., like many other priests during World War II in France, wants to help the poor by closing the chasm between the priest, as a person, and the workers' society. The same idea is enforced by the French seminaries as well when they require their pupils to go out and work in a factory doing industrial labor for half a year.

Hungarian CALG 2/08.02 Review by Pálinkás László1962 Completes ALG's argument on Swedish-French Medieval relations saying that Medieval international relations and also the life of different European nations were quite peaceful because they were driven by Christian ideas that are universal. In contrast, today's driving force behind individuals' and nation's actions, rationalism, inadvertently leads to unnecessary conflicts among people.

Hungarian CALG 2/13.02 Lajti István to ALG1956/0625 István sends the plans for the proposed ceremony in France. But he would like to talk to ALG by phone once more before he goes to visit the ambassador. Mr. Vimont from the embassy thinks that the presentation of the money is not a good idea: the embassy needs an official letter from the Academy instead. So István will call ALG to talk about the details and right after that he will get in contact with the first counselor to discuss ALG's reception and the meeting with the ambassador. Hungarian CALG 2/14 Ave Maria College (Book)1955-1958 CALG 2/14.01 Editor of Gazeta Hungara to ALG1956/0518 The editor thinks that there has been a misunderstanding in ALG's last letter sent early this year. The paper has not yet received ALG's new volume: therefore they could not yet run a detailed review of it. Still, he asks ALG if he would have it sent again or else send an already published review.

ALG articulated what people in Hungary are too modest to express: that the world should be more appreciative of the many genius Hungarians who have enriched the whole humanity, such as Ady Endre, Bartók Béla, Karinthy Frigyes, Ferencsik János, Szentgyörgyi Albert etc. Since she had problems deciphering ALG's handwriting, she asks ALG to type his next letter. Hungarian CALG 4/18.17 Dr. Lékai La'szló to ALG1985/0924 Cardinal Lékai La'szló, Primate of Hungary and Archbishop of Esztergom, sends information about the plans to renovate the Saint Stephen Dome in Budapest, Hungary. Both Dr. Wetter Friedrich, Archbishop and Cardinal of München, Germany, and the People's Republic of Hungary are helping the project with significant financial contribution. Dr. Lékai asks Hungarians living abroad for their cheritable donations. Hungarian CALG 4/18.18 Cardinal László Lékai - article Primate of Hungary, Archbishop of Esztergom.

She asks ALG to let her know in advance about the time of his visit as these parts of the hotel are closed down to the public. Hungarian CALG 4/18.20 Ambrus László to ALG1988/0614 László is sorry to hear that ALG has had bad luck buying the Márai Sándor book. He himself has looked into it by asking his book dealer friends to no avail. Hungarian CALG 4/18.21 Imre Zsuzsa to ALG1991/0104 Zsuzsa has paid in full the bill of the Pécs cemetery for 1991 charges. She sends information about her family and their move to a new city. Hungarian CALG 4/18.22 Dr. Heller György to ALG1990/1212 György sends information about the reestablishment of the Saint Stephen Association. Since now the society is financially not viable, he asks ALG and other members to patiently wait until the Church legally settles the claims with the government, which could take a long time. Hungarian CALG 4/18.23 Invitation from Dr. Uzsoki András to ALG1990 To attend a conference on Church History in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 4/18.24 Dr. Miklós Kontra to ALG1990/1128 Miklós inquires about the possibility of a meeting at Notre Dame on January 15th, 1990. At this meeting he would present the results of his Hungarian National Sociolinguistic Survey. He encloses his CV for ALG's consideration. Hungarian CALG 4/18.25 Csató Éva to ALG1991/0528 She informs ALG that "The Hungarian Science" will publish a review on ALG's book in their September issue. It will be written by Köpeczi Béla, general editor and member of the Academy. Hungarian CALG 4/18.26 Dr. Bőzsöny Ferenc to ALG1991/0206 Ferenc congratulates ALG for his very successful TV interview. He has been proud of him and happy to listen to ALG's talk full with humor, wit, and variegation. After the interview Ferenc thinks that ALG has become even more popular than Teller Ede, who gives frequent interviews on Hungarian radio and TV. It would be nice to meet ALG at the airport of Pécs, Hungary, where the Pope will say high mass before an audience expected of more than hundredthousand people. Hungarian CALG 4/18.27 Dr. Soltész Zoltánné to ALG1990/0904 She encloses the order forms necessary for obtaining the recently published three volume, massive catalogue.

Tamás to ALG1992/0713 Tamás, the abbot from Jászóvár, congratulates ALG for his distinction, about which he just read in the newspaper. They are fighting for the Church to reopen its doors again but they run out of money and can't finish the renovation. The devastation of the abbey during the last couple of years is unimaginable. Tamás invites ALG for the 800th anniversary of the Jászóvár abbey, which will take place next year. Hungarian CALG 4/26.02 Keresztesy Parker to Albin Veszelonszky1992/0810 Parker asks Albin to contact ALG regarding Parker's official visit to Gödöllő Prémontré Canonry. Should ALG have any complaint against Ottó, the prior, or should he want to make a motion regarding Gödöllő, he is to call Parker in California before his departure to Hungary. Hungarian CALG 4/27 Premontrei Rend. Canons of Premontre Godollo1990 CALG 4/27.01 Fényi Ottó to ALG on Saint György's Day1990 Ottó informs ALG about the newest developments in the legitimation process of the Gödöllő Prémontré Order. The Holy See acknowledged them to be the legal successor of the Jászó provostry. The endowment received by Bernát Kumorovitz makes it possible to build a Private Prémontré Chapel. Ottó heard the news from ALG's student about ALG's upcoming trip to Budapest soon. After missing each other several times, he would be happy to meet ALG this time at Gödöllő. Hungarian CALG 4/27.02 ALG to Fényi Ottó1990/0521 ALG is sorry to note that he will visit Budapest just for three days (out of which one day he will be visiting his parents grave at Pécs) consequently he won't have time to travel to Gödöllő. But ALG would be happy to meet or talk to Ottó in Budapest. ALG informs the prior of Gödöllő about his connection with the current President of Hungary, Antall József, who might be of help resolving their legal problems. This also includes a pension plan for ALG's previous work at the French Institute of the Gödöllő Gymnasium where his salary was taken away from him. ALG wants to be recompensated for these losses. He is sorry to have so many bad memories from Gödöllő. There he has received no help from the order moreover their French "professor" turned out to be a French spy. Now ALG, persecuted by the Gestapo while being the head of the French Institute, should be getting financial compensation, teh same way as Jews are rehabilitated too.

His great benefactor's daughter also attends the University of Notre Dame, Orszag Marienne. Hungarian CALG 4.02 Feri to ALG1990/0827 Feri orders in advance two copies of the "Paris Studium" and congratulates ALG for his book. He agrees with ALG on the fact that everybody these days would like to have great accomplishments forgetting what they have done in the past 40 years. Hungarian CALG 4.03 Eszter to ALG1991/1029 Eszter informs ALG about their holiday plans inviting him over to spend both the Christmas and ALG's birthday with them. The family has set apart a room for ALG in case he visits them. Hungarian CALG 4/31 Silver Jubilee1956-1961 CALG 4/31.01 Varga Béla to ALG1957/0110 Béla, from the Hungarian National Council, begs pardon for his delay in congratulating ALG for his Silver Jubilee Mass. But since the tragic revolution in Hungary he has been travelling constantly in between New York, Washington, and the Hungarian refugee camp at Camp Kilmer. Also he congratulates ALG for the timely Mass Card he sent out with the picture of the fighting King Saint László on it. Hungarian CALG 4/31.02 Lénárd (or Sándor) from Rome to ALG1956/1219 He thanks ALG for the silver jubilee Mass Card with the Hungarian icon on it. He wishes ALG good health so he can continue to serve to show the world the Christian Hungarian milieu. Now no one else among the Hungarian emigrants serves this mission better. The episcopate entrusted Paulay with managing the relief that is sent back to Hungary. Hungarian CALG 4/31.03 Darvay Arzén to ALG1956/1221 Arzén wishes good health and sends his greetings for ALG's silver jubilee. He thinks that ALG's series of great successes are great examples of Hungarian self-determination. Hungarian CALG 4/31.04 Mr. Sulyok to ALG1956/1209 He thanks ALG for the silver jubilee Mass Card he recently sent. Hungarian CALG 4/31.05 Ilona Királdi to ALG1956/1205 Ilu thanks ALG for the silver jubilee Mass Card with the Hungarian King, Saint László, on it. She has been trying to reach ALG but without success. Like ALG, they are very sorry to hear the tragic news about the Hungarian revolution. It takes another great king, like Saint László, to drive out of Hungary the dirty lot coming from East. Ilu asks ALG to call them. Hungarian CALG 4/31.06 Haydu Zoli to ALG1957/1020 He is sorry that ALG could not see them when he visited Toronto lately and hopes to meet ALG soon. Hungarian CALG 4/31.07 Waldbott János to ALG1956/1124 János, student of ALG, would be obliged if ALG would call him upon his arrival at Toronto in order to discuss the details of their meeting. He is happy to see ALG soon. Hungarian CALG 4/32 Academie Des Inscriptions et Belles - Lettres1962-1963 CALG 4/32.01 Gedeon Gál to ALG1963/0118 As a former colleague of P.V. Doucet, Gedeon, who is now a member of the Franciscan Friary, wishes good luck to ALG in his research on medieval manuscripts. He is especially interested in the Ambrosiana project and hopes to meet ALG in person one day. Hungarian CALG 4/32.02 ALG's Accomplishments Short article (and the manuscript) that lists ALG's distinctions, emphasizing his new appointment to fellow of the Academie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres in Paris (Catholic Hungarian Newspaper, 1963). Hungarian CALG 4/33 Hungarian Catholic Academy. Fellow1954-1959 CALG 4/33.01 Schwartz Elemér, Chancellor of the Hungarian Catholic Academy, sending out a report about the Academy, which is seated in Rome. He encloses a listof current registered members, including ALG as regular member, and also a pamphlet containing the Constitution of 1952 of the Academy. Hungarian1954/0629 CALG 4/33.02 Ivánka Endre to ALG1956/0516 Endre is sorry not having written sooner but his wife has been sick. He congratulates ALG for his recent appointment to president of the Science Division of the Hungarian Catholic Academy. Endre proposes to include nationalities other than Hungarians too who would like to send in publications in the year-book as the academy's almanac is more for an international scholarly readership. Should ALG wish to assert his opinion on this matter, kindly he should send him a letter before the upcoming conferences. Hungarian CALG 4/33.03 Schwartz Elemér to ALG1954/1111 Elemér thanks ALG for his advice. He asks him to manage the administration of the Academy in America and Canada and make the necessary inquiries regarding the articles written by prominent Hungarian professors in North America. These articles will appear in the year-book of the Academy and are a necesssity in legitimizing the Hungarian Academy. Hungarian CALG 4/33.04 A memorandum to the members on the newly published almanac of the Hungarian Catholic Academy titled "Scientiis Artibusque". Hungarian CALG 4/33.05 Dr. Gilbert Mihályi to ALG1955/0923 Gilbert introduces himself to ALG. He just heard that ALG has been appointed to oversees secretary of the Hungarian Catholic Academy. In the bosom of the academy functions the Káldi Association, the oversees secretary of which is Gilbert himself. As the two organizations have overlapping interests Gilbert suggests that they should cooperate and offers ALG the opportunity to be member of the editorial staff of Civitas Dei. Hungarian CALG 4/33.06 Dr. Gilbert Mihályi to ALG1955/0924 Gilbert, secretary of the Káldy Association, asks ALG to send in an essay to be published in the first volume of Civitas Dei. He encloses the C.V. of Dr. Kubinszky for consideration to be member either of the Academy or of the Káldi Association -- an autonomous team with respective president and secretary. He asks for ALG's understanding in this matter. Hungarian CALG 4/33.07 ALG to Dr. Gilbert Mihályi1955/1015 ALG is sorry to dissapoint Gilbert with his answer. He was surprised to read the misinformation in the Hungarian Catholic Newspaper about the Academy and the Káldi Association, which was rendered by Gilbert. He reported it immediately to Rome and now ALG is handing in his resignation. There are many confusions and unclarified matters around the Káldi Association and the Academy, which would make it impossible for him to lead the Institute alone and in peace with scientific values. One confusion is around publishing -- if professors send in their essays to Civitas Dei than the Academy's Scientiis Artibusque existence is in jeopardy. ALG is returning Dr. Kubinszky's C.V.. He is astonished that Gilbert sent it to him at the first place -- as only members of the Academy can send in their prospective candidates -- not to mention that Kubinszky is not a right fit for academic membership. Being an old fashioned man, ALG thinks that prospective members of the Academy need to be elected. ALG begs pardon for typing this letter without accent. He could have written in English but many compatriots have been complaining about that in the past. Hungarian CALG 4/33.08 ALG to Dr. Gilbert Mihályi1955/1015 Shorter version of the above letter having the same content. Hungarian CALG 4/33.09 Ivánka Endre to ALG1956/0927 Endre asks ALG to review a manuscript that is jointly published by the University of Löwen. It is a summary of humanistic trends after 1945. Should ALG provide criticism of the Hungarian part of the volume, his name will be added together with the comment. Now Endre is working on a volume comprising already published essays on Hungarian Humanism. Hungarian CALG 4/33.10 ALG to Ivánka Endre1957/0125 ALG inteded to write sooner but was too busy between lecturing in Washington and revising student's dissertations. He congratulates Endre for his appointment to president of the Káldi Association and for his many scientific publications. ALG informs Endre that he is at variance with the president of the Academy concerning the membership -- ALG's view is that every current member should vote for a candidate in writing, considering late or no answers as a positive votes. In addition a serious Catholic Academy has to have a list of the names of its members -- ALG still doesn't know who is member and who is not -- and a serious board of editors working independently from parish priests. He agrees with Imre's proposition that instead of the yearly almanac they should put out a series of pamphlets in parts. ALG encloses the bealted, yet helpful literature of Hungarian Humanistic trends for Endre's consideration. Hungarian CALG 4/33.11 Schwartz Elemér to ALG1956/0831 Due to ALG's repeated enquiries, Elemér has looked into the general process of how to become a member of the Academy and can only reassure ALG that they are doing it the right way. The model the Hungarian Catholic Academy is strictly following in all organizational aspect, including membership issues, is the Papal Academy. Endre Ivan'ka is in accordance with Elemér in this matter. Hungarian CALG 4/33.12 Schwartz Elemér to ALG1955/1025 Elemér has heard the news from Dám Ince concerning ALG's dissaproval of the Hungarian Catholic Academy's practice, according to which membership is based on academic invitation instead of election. Yet he confidentially informs ALG that the very reason he proposed this form of membership acceptance, which was backed by the Cardinal and Head of the Roman Catholic Church in Hungary, József Mindeszenty, was ALG himself. ALG should have been member of both Hungarian academies already a long time ago, however, he was twice unelectable due to his religion and ideology. The election method in Hungary resulted in clannish vote, which in turn excluded accomplished scholars, such as ALG, from being members. To avoid this mistake and to get ALG in the Academy, which is now seated in Rome and Brussels, Elemér introduced a more just system: a small group of acadmic theoreticians of the related field decide who to invite and then who to accept. Hungarian CALG 4/33.13 Schwartz Elemér to ALG1955/1028 Elemér is sorry to hear that ALG has resigned and will not be the oversees general secretary of the Academy any more. Further he reassures ALG that the Káldi Association is a constitutionally functioning vital organization of the Academy and Mr. Mihályi does an excellent job running it in America. Elemér is sad to note that this incident between ALG and Dr. Gilbert Mihályi is the first within the doors of the Academy. However he hopes for ALG's close collaboration with them in the future. Hungarian CALG 4/33.14 ALG to Dr. Schwartz Elemér1955/1104 ALG thanks Elemér for his letter and for his understanding concerning his resignation. ALG regrets to inform Elemér that the Káldi Association is not cooperating with the Academy, thus with ALG, moreover the society invites people from the home defence force to be academic members. Seated in Brussels and Rome, the chancellory must not have heard about these details before. But ALG assures Elemér of his continuous support and warm-hearted cooperation with Elemér's erudite achievements. Hungarian CALG 4/33.15 ALG to Dr. Schwartz Elemér1955/1105 ALG is glad to hear that Elemér is an adherent supporter of him and his scholarly work. Elemér is right concerning the Academy's membership in Europe. However, in the United States all serious Institutions elect their members. Furthermore, ALG still has qualms about the legitimacy and seriousness of the Káldi Association, being just an initiative not capable of presenting results to be able to attract the patronage of cardinals. Unfortunately the society, by supporting individual ambition instead of the traditional and common goals, will soon lose its credibility in the United States. ALG will not lend his name to anything that is not in accordance with the old and traditional spirit of the Pázmány Péter University and with the ideology of its leading teachers and scholars, such as Dr. Schwartz Elemér. Hungarian CALG 4/33.16 Dám Ince to ALG1955/1007 Ince sends information about new events at the Hungarian Catholic Academy. Schwartz Elemér opposes ALG's idea of taking over the Corvina due to its high cost. Consequently the Academy continues to support the Civitas Dei that was originally launched with the approval of the board. Pollak still speculates around publishing the yearly almanac, which is understandable because he doesn't know the number of reservations. He asks ALG to estimate the number the of possible copies sold in New York and other big city meetings. It would be a great addition to the Institute at Notre Dame the recently published biography of Hofer Kapistrán and Ince asks ALG to take over few issues. The officials have put an end to hundreds of packages that were already sent off to Hungary. Hungarian CALG 4/33.17 ALG to Dám Ince1955/1011 ALG sends in the order for the Hofer Kapistrán work and the Andreas Pannonius microfilm that he would like to purchase. The money will be transferred to Ince's name from the Medieval Institute. ALG, after reading the two letters sent by Mihály Gilbert, resigns from his job as secretray general of the Academy. Should the Academy change and turn into a serious institution from merely a club of Catholic young fellows, ALG is to resume responsibility again. He will organize the ceremony in February, relying on the Catholic League, Julian, and the Medieval Institute, consequently excluding the Academy. Furthermore ALG proposes the realignment of the Catholic Academy on the basis of election and academic standards. Hungarian CALG 4/33.18 Membership list of the Hungarian Catholic Academy Charter members include József Ferenc from Portugalia, the last emperor of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Hungarian CALG 4/33.19 Short article in the Hungarian Catholic Sunday, Cleveland About recent events and main publications organized by the Hungarian Catholic Academy emphasizing the scientific division of the Academy, the Káldi Association. Hungarian CALG 4/33.20 Schwartz Elemér to ALG1955/0503 Elemér, chancellor of the Academy, requests ALG to accept the position of American secretary general of the Academy. Together with the chancellor, ALG would have a say in the operation of this important institution. Elemér sends the plans for various prizes, coins, and awards of the Academy for next year and asks ALG's advise. The Vatican, otherwise morally supportive of the Hungarian Academy, will not make financial commitments. Thus Elemér asks ALG's suggestion concerning endowments for arts and cultural programs in America. Hungarian CALG 4/33.21 Mr. Szabó to ALG1955/0510 Mr. Szabó introduces himself and sends his respect to ALG who, while Director of the Medieval Institute at Notre Dame, is also the torch-bearer of the Hungarian spirit in the New World. Out of veneration and affection, he encloses his recently published work and would be obliged if ALG would send his remarks. Hungarian CALG 4/33.22 Lám Imre to ALG1955/0403 Imre responds to the scientific part of ALG's last letter. He sends details about a lecture in Rome that resulted in anger and conflict among Franciscans. Since the famous speaker presented solid evidence to support his case in the Duns Scotus case, Imre asks if ALG could provide them with more serious and possibly older data concerning the Scotus-argument. Hungarian CALG 4/33.23 Lám Imre to ALG1955/0403 Imre is sorry for not writing sooner but he was busy exploring the committee organizing the Fall conference. Lately Mons. Maccarone from the Vatican provided him with the details about the conference and the "communicatio". With ALG's presumed approval, he has ordered the five volume monograph with all the lectures to be presented at the conference, which will be shipped to ALG's address. Thus he can prepare his comments in advance and this way participate and be part of the communicatio. Imre is finishing his Immaculata thesis and will publish it soon. Since ALG provided so many helpful data for him, he would like to dedicate his monograph to him and asks for ALG's affirmation. His emigration to the United States, under the auspicies of the Saint Bonavanture Franciscan Institute in New York, is coming along. Hungarian CALG 4/33.24 Schwartz Elemér to ALG1955/0327 Elemér has recently sent a copy of his book to ALG. He plans to visit Rome to discuss the financing of the Hungarian Catholic Academy and the possible nominations of new Fellows. Should ALG find a corporation in America willing to donate money to the Academy, he is to let him know as soon as possible. Elemér names couple of candidates for certain academic positions, such as chairman, general secretary, and member of the Academy and meanwhile asks ALG if he would tell him his opinion concerning these people. Hungarian CALG 4/33.25 ALG to Dr. Komjathy-Schwartz Elemér1955/0330 ALG thanks Elemér for his fantastic essay and for his honourable letter. He lists his suggestions for the upcoming academic meeting. Based on his academic excellence, ALG advises Burger Károly for chairman, Ibrányi Ferenc for general secretary, and Prof. Körmendy as new member. Since they don't have enough publications, the candidacy of Föltenyi and Grosschmid should be deferred. The Hungarian Catholic League is the only organization in the U.S. that would support the Academy since they do caritative work. ALG suggests Elemér to introduce the Pázmány-chain to the board, which would be awarded only to special members of the Academy with a redemption of $100. Just like the Laetare Medal at the University of Notre Dame, this chain would be popular among many professors across American universities, who use their membership for popularity, and therefore the award would serve as and excellent perk to the Academy. Hungarian CALG 4/33.26 Föltényi István to ALG1955/0314 István thanks ALG for his two letters. He is glad to hear that ALG approves of his recently published article concerning the Hungarian-Sumirian-affinity propaganda. Since the appearance of the article many Hungarian language newspapers around the world have called István a treasonous pan-slavic archeologist. His candidacy in the Academy was Prof. Schwartz's idea. Subsequently István thinks it is up to the academic members to nominate new Fellows. Hungarian CALG 4/33.27 ALG to Schwartz Elemér1955/0309 ALG begs pardon for the delay in sending the promised article but he was very busy. He encloses the article and also the letter he sent to the general secretary, Dám Ince, with specific instructions about how the article should appear in the yearbook -- its illustrations, typography, and imprints paid by ALG --. The article is about Bereck Márton, rector of the University of Paris in the middle ages. Meanwhile ALG has been exchanging letters with Dr. Föltényi István regarding István's nominations of new Fellows: Dr. Horva'th Barna and Halsi Kun Tibor. Yet ALG thinks that Paikert Géza is the closest to candidature. Hungarian CALG 4/33.28 Föltényi István to ALG1955/0303 István is sorry that he intruded upon ALG with the nomination of Dr. Halasi-Kun as new Fellow. His previous information was wrong because now he just found out that Dr. Halasi-Kun is of Calvinistic religion. Therefore he could only be nominated to honourable membership. Hungarian CALG 4/33.29 Föltényi István to ALG1955/0224 István sends information regarding past appointments of the candidate Dr. Horváth Barna -- such as his job at the Hungarian Academy between 1945-47 and at Pázmány Péter/Eötvös University in 1948 after the Academy had been completely dominated by communists. Hungarian CALG 4/33.30 Dám Ince to ALG1955/0220 Ince has been very busy travelling around Italy and visiting libraries and archives of several monasteries. During his Andreas Pannonius-round-trip Ince found important material that completes his previous research on the subject. He looks forward to seeing ALG in Spring in Rome. In the meanwhile he plans to leave Rome and move to America. Hungarian CALG 4/33.31 Föltényi István to ALG1954/0203 Since the nomination of new Fellows is coming up, István sends his candidates and related suggestions to ALG for consideration. Hungarian CALG 4/33.32 ALG to the Chair of Academia Catholica Hungarica1955/0121 ALG proposes Körmendy Jenö for corresponding membership of the Academy. Körmendy Jenö is a world famous Hungarian sculptor who lives with his artist wife, Erzsébet, in South Bend, Indiana. Because of his important contribution to the arts, at large, for example his sculpture of Christ in front of the Washington office of the NCWC, and because of his many other sculptures, monuments, and awards not only in Budapest, Hungary but around the world, ALG strongly reccommends Körmendy Jenö for election into the Academy. Hungarian CALG 4/33.33 ALG to to the Chair of Academia Catholica Hungarica1954/1201 ALG proposes Dr. Grosschmid-Zsögöd Géza Béni, economist and political sociologist, for corresponding member of the Academy. His candidacy is worthwile to consider and ALG lists Dr. Grosschmid's degrees, accomplishements, and appointments to support his deserving election. Hungarian CALG 4/33.34 Kramár Jenö to ALG1954/1230 Jenö would have written sooner and would have sent an article to the editors of the year-book, but he had been in the hospital for a long time. But he intends to send a communiqué for the next year's issue if he gets the notice in time. As they have been good-old friends with Msgr. Francis Ibrányi, Jenö asks ALG for his address. Hungarian CALG 4/33.35 ALG to Kramár Jenö1955/0111 ALG sends Ibrányi's address and invites Jenö to Notre Dame, if opportunity arises. Should Jenö change his mind concerning the article, he is to send it to Prof. Schwartz. Hungarian CALG 4/33.36 Ibrányi Ferenc to ALG1954/1125 He thanks ALG for forwarding Prof. Schwartz's request to write an article in the Academy's year-book. Although the deadline is close, Ferenc will do his best to finish his article. During his visit in Toronto this summer, he heard great news about ALG from his colleagues. Ferenc is happy to hear that ALG was promoted to Director of the Medieval Institute. Hungarian CALG 4/33.37 Schwartz Elemér to ALG1954/1218 Elemér thanks ALG for his letter and for the two nominations that are already on their way to Rome. He agrees with ALG's clever proposal concerning the future of the Academy and he will suggest the restructuring of the constitution according to ALG's ideas. Elemér sends the plans to divide the post of the general secretary into two: one European and one oversees. He asks ALG to suggest someone from the list to be the chairman. Per ALG's request, Elemér extended the deadline for the year-book's admixture one more month. Hungarian CALG 4/33.38 Rezsőházi Rudolf to ALG1954/1216 Rudolf writes a few lines to introduce himself to ALG. As he reviews ALG's classic about the lives of Hungarian saints he is happy to read the wonderful twists and turns of the Hungarian language that ALG mastered so well. Now Rudolf lives and teaches in Belgium and is planning to publish two books. He asks ALG to exchange letters since both of them are literate Hungarians who live far from each other. Hungarian CALG 4/33.39 ALG to Schwartz Elemér1954/1201 ALG sends his nomination of Grosschmid Géza and informs Elemér that he forwarded his request to the members of the Academy in the Unites States and Canada. Now final examinations are taking place at the universities and ALG advises Elemér to extend the deadline of the articles to February 1st. ALG is planning the Academy's publicity in the US. Hungarian CALG 4/33.40 Grosschmid Géza to ALG1954/1204 Géza thanks ALG not only for his willingness to nominate him in the Academy but also for his great effort -- as still a loyal Premontré -- to type the Hungarian reccommendation without accents. He encloses his C.V. Hungarian CALG 4/33.41 Few lines about ALG and the type of research he is doing: a great scholar and an enjoyable speaker who embellishes all his work with thoughtful acedemic lecture notes. Hungarian CALG 4/33.42 ALG to Schwartz Elemér1954/1119 ALG plans to write the nomination of Grosschmid. He asks Elemér if he has heard about the artist pair, the Körmendy's, who would be great candidates for Academic membership. He plans to visit Louvain in Belgium this summer and will probably meet Elemér then. The University of Notre Dame publishes a work on the "Immaculata Conceptior" thus ALG suggested for them to consider the important research results of Dám Ince on this topic. Hungarian CALG 4/33.43 ALG to Dám Ince1954/1109 ALG congratulates Ince for his recently published article on the Hungarian story of the immaculate conception. The article is written according to the most rigid scholastic traditions. ALG plans to visit Rome this summer where he will examine the Hungarian material. But it is hard for him to return to the lands of Pannonia from the international milieu he is surrounded by. Now ALG studies the original prints of the Hungarian Franciscan scholar, Guibert de Tournai, comparing it to that of Magyarorszagi Mihaly. He sends his regards to rector Balic. Hungarian CALG 4/33.44 Schwartz Elemér to ALG1954/0820 Elemér congratulates ALG for his membership in the Academy. The Academy has paid its score with this as ALG should have been a Fellow long time ago. Finally ALG is the long deserved decoration of the Academy. He thanks for ALG's willingness to write up an article in the upcoming year-book and for his financial support of the administration. He is happy to hear that ALG will give a lecture in Rome during the Maria-Congress. Hungarian CALG 4/33.45 Schwartz Elemér to ALG1954/0922 At other member's requests, ALG should publish a communiqué about the members of the Academy living in the United States and Canada. Elemér thanks ALG for his effort in helping the Academy. Hungarian CALG 4/33.46 ALG to Schwartz Elemér1954/1027 ALG would have written sooner but he was busy with the begginning of the school year. He is happy to send out a new release about the Academy, however, he would need more information about where the Fellows live. ALG will mention Elemér's devoted work and support of the Academy. ALG proposes a $10 mandatory fee from the American members of the Academy. Hungarian CALG 4/33.47 ALG to Dám Ince1954/1027 ALG begs pardon for not writing sooner but he was very busy. He asks Ince for information concerning the lenght and the due date of the article for the year-book. ALG is happy to hear that the codified textbook of Collegium Christi, which ALG had studied in Hungary, is now available on microfiche. ALG is sorry to inform Ince that his study on the Brevarium-type codices -- translations of old Hungarian Bible-excerpts -- it got lost somewhere. But Ince doesn't miss anything by not reading it. Should Ince put together the list of the addresses of the members, he is to send it to ALG for the communiqué. Hungarian CALG 4/33.48 Dám Ince to ALG1954/0920 Ince would consider it an honour if ALG would write an article in their year-book, on a topic that does not necessarily have Hungarian pertinence. The essay should be written in an international language, instead in Hungarian. He asks ALG's help in finding ALG's study on the Brevarium-type codified texts, a work that even the Vatican is missing. Hungarian CALG 4/33.49 Dám Ince to ALG1954/0810 Ince is sorry that the Academia Catholica Hungarica does not have the means to collaborate more expansively with the University of Notre Dame. But the plan is to publish the Scientiis Artibusque every year, which will give raison d'étre to the Academy. In October, Ince will organize the Immaculata Congress in Rome and asks ALG if he would contribute by presenting one of his treatises. Ince is now collaborating with Father Balic at the Academia Mariana Internationalis in Rome. To avoid any subsequent confusion, he sends ALG the topic he works at, which greatly overlaps with ALG's research in the past -- Hungarian related reactions to the fight over the Immaculata. Moreover this is not the only area where their research concurs but Ince hopes that this will lead to an extensive collaboration with ALG in the future. Ince would like to meet ALG in person in Rome at the conference. Hungarian CALG 4/33.50 ALG to Schwartz Elemér1954/0805 ALG congratulates Elemér for his initiative that aptly gathers Hungarian scientists around the world. Every word of the constitution gives evidence of Elemér's great knowledge about the politics of science, such as the implication of cardinal-protectors in the project. ALG thanks Elemér for his nomination done with flattering confidence. The Rector Magnificus of Notre Dame personally wrote a letter to the general secretary of the Academy to thank the Academy for ALG's tribute. Hungarian CALG 4/33.51 ALG to Dám Ince1954/0805 ALG is glad to hear that he has been elected full member of the Hungarian Catholic Academy. Visiting the Medieval Institute and ALG, Rev. Balic cordially remembered Father Dám Ince. Soon ALG will send him a report on his academic research. Should Ince send him the list with the names and addresses of the members and fellows, ALG is to launch the press-release about the Institution in both English and Hungarian.

Theodore M. Hesburgh, Pres1975-1987 CALG 4/52 Hungarian Helicon1958-1977 CALG 4/52.01 Krúdy Ferenc to ALG1962 Ferenc is sorry that he could not attend ALG's lecture in Toronto, Canada, but he had to listen to Borbély Zoltán's coincidental lecture. Ferenc would be obliged if ALG would visit Kovách Aladár in the editorial room upon his arrival in Münich. Ferenc is interested only in those Hungarians who prepared or otherwise took part in the Archduke Habsburg Ottó's lecture of last month. The Archduke's message echoed the idea what Ferenc, and others at the Hungarian Helicon Society, have aspired long ago. Namely that there should be a preponderance of intellectual movements in Europe attesting that Europe inheres Hungary. Lately Ferenc was glad to read Mihályi Gilbert's essay in the series "The Iron Curtain". He wishes good luck to ALG on his trip to Germany. Hungarian CALG 4/52.02 Krúdy Ferenc to ALG1962/0218 Ferenc is happy to hear about ALG's new book and his other tributes. Both Father Borbely and him are looking forward to ALG's visit in Toronto. Ferenc confidentially asks ALG to search for fellow Hungarians upon his visit to Europe, who sympathize with them and also who would be helpful in diplomacy and publicity employing their ambition, intellect, and wit. Ferenc wishes to establish a friendly circle, within the Hungarian Helicon, by selectively inviting certain people. The aim of the society is to influence Western-European public opinion about Trianon, Soviet imperialism in Eastern Europe, and Hungary's essential role in the European cultural millieu. Teleki Pál's intellectual legacy would be a gold-mine to the erudites of this movement. Ferenc also hopes that the pro-Soviet West will not be influenced by the radicalism of the bourgeoise who despise the notion of the nation state. After reflecting on the invited guests, Ferenc asks ALG to reccommend those who are to lead the society on a permanent basis. A friend of his from France will contact ALG in this regard. Hungarian CALG 4/52.03 Krúdy Ferenc to ALG1962/0126 Ferenc is sorry not to receive news from ALG for one and a half year. Since then many new trends have unfolded within the Hungarian emigrant circles in Toronto. Hungarians in emigration need more and more learned scholars and professionals who join in to communicate their mission in an imposing manner. To this effect, the Helicon plans to invite ALG to Toronto to give a talk. Ferenc asks ALG to send his travel plans for the next months. Hungarian CALG 4/52.04 Dr. Torzsay-Biber Gyula to ALG1961/0911 Lately many Hungarians celebrated the 500 anniversary of the great Hungarian Rennaisance King, King Matthias. Also the Helicon wishes to commemorate this event for its members and friends. Gyula would be obliged if ALG, as the only expert among the members, would agree to lecture about King Matthias. The rendition would take place in April 1962. Gyula and the Helicon-board still remembers ALG's fantastic talk he gave in Toronto. Hungarian CALG 4/52.05 Krúdy Ferenc to ALG1960/0606 Ferenc thanks ALG for his letter. He asks ALG not to forget them while travelling in Münich, Germany, and to look for possible nominees. Thus ALG should get information concerning possible clear minded Hungarian friends who have not done anybody a favours, in particular not to progressive circles. It is imperative for the Helicon Society to reestablish themselves in Germany and ALG is instrumental in this plan. He encloses a membership list of the Society. Ferenc wishes a nice trip to ALG. Hungarian CALG 4/52.06 Borsi Tivadar to ALG1958/0223 On behalf of Dr. Torzsay-Biber Gyula, Tivadar informs ALG that he has been reelected president of the Hungarian Helicon for the year 1958. ALG's election is instrumental putting the society's vernacular plans into action. Hungarian CALG 4/52.07 Borsi Tivadar to ALG1958/0210 Tivadar informs ALG that they will rent the ballroom of the Hart House in Toronto for ALG's performance. He also informs ALG about the plans concerning the invitations and asks ALG to send his observations on the event. Hungarian CALG 5/01 Hungary and Hungarians1953-1993 CALG 5/01.01 Tar Pál to ALG1993/0826 Pál thanks ALG for the two very interesting publications he has sent to the Hungarian Embassy. This is a reminiscent of the decoration awarded ALG by the government of the Hungarian Republic. He wishes good health and undiminished creative work to ALG in the future. Hungarian CALG 5/01.02 Dr. V. Udvary Tibor to ALG1987/0206 Tibor thanks ALG for his christmas card and his publication. On the occasion of Hungarian Heritage month, he will organize the Michael de Kovats festivities on May 11th. Tibor asks ALG to participate in the event as honorary chair of his foundation who will be conducting the gathering. Since ALG is well connected, in preparation of this event Tibor needs ALG's help in borrowing Hungary's "Arany Bulla" either from Esztergom, Hungary, or from the Vatican Library, through his connections. Hungarian CALG 5/01.03 Obituary of Berka Józsefné Maiden name Ujváry Katalin, who died on April 20th, 1986. CALG 5/01.04 Dr. Gyöngyi Török to ALG1986/0511 Gyöngyi thanks ALG for his letter. She sends information concerning her travel to the US in the summer. She will give two invited talks, one at Washington and one at Bloomington, but in between these two conferences she has no stipend to cover her stay in America. Therefore she has already contacted the Getty Museum and now asks ALG for advise in receiving funds. Hungarian CALG 5/01.05 Dr. Horváth Elek to ALG1976/0623 Elek informs ALG about the Committee for an American Hungarian Bicentennial Monument. As president of the Committee, he would be obliged if ALG would participate in the bicentennial committee and accept the invitation for membership in the National Council. Hungarian CALG 5/01.06 Nádas János to ALG1976/0416 János is sorry for the delay of the manuscript that list the selected bibliography the members of the Árpád Academy. He asks ALG, and all others, to send a list of their recent publications, namely their work after 1971. Hungarian CALG 5/01.07 Berka József to ALG1976/0209 József sends information concerning his delegation in Iraq and thereafter in Algeria. He expects to live in the Arab world for a long time and thus is sorry to miss ALG's next visit to Budapest. In his last letter, József mentioned Tauszik to ALG so he can keep him in mind, a fellow historian who will participate in the Lomonoszov University Congress. Hungarian CALG 5/01.08 Lukács Iván to ALG1975/1112 Iván thanks ALG for his letter. He does not think that he will be elected as president. Yet he would like to address certain issues during an incidental president's account. He wishes good health to ALG. Hungarian CALG 5/01.09 Vayer Lajos to ALG1974/1113 Lajos is happy to hear from ALG's former student, Gyöngyi Török, that finally ALG will visit Hungary next Fall. However, they might see each other sooner than that. Lajos has an invitation from Princeton Institute for Advanced Study for three months starting January 1975. He would be obliged if ALG would ask a friend of his in New York to wait for him and his wife at the airport. He looks forward to see ALG soon in the USA. Hungarian CALG 5/01.10 ALG to Vayer Lajos1974/1202 ALG has just received Lajos' letter about his trip. ALG regrets that he will not be in the States at the time when Lajos arrives to New York. He leaves America on December 8th to Paris. But ALG has made arrangements and his friends in New York will show Lajos the way to the train-station upon his arrival. ALG proposes for them to stay one night in Manhattan. Later in January ALG plans to visit the couple in Princeton. Hungarian CALG 5/01.11 Dengl Miklós to ALG1973/0228 Miklós thanks ALG for his kind letter and sends to ALG information concerning the whereabouts of Szépe László. Hungarian CALG 5/01.12 Excerpt from the Hungarian langauge newpaper "News From Hungary" containing two articles on political events in Hungary in 1972. Hungarian CALG 5/01.13 Mr. Boda and Mrs. Verees to ALG1973/0222 The are sorry to hear that ALG has not yet received the three books they shipped on December 13th. They regret the possible loss of the books as all had a special hand-written dedicace in them that is hard to reproduce. Should ALG still not receive the items by March, he is to inform "Kultura" immediately about this. Hungarian CALG 5/01.14 Mr. Boda to ALG1972/1220 Boda forwarded ALG's note to Mrs. Kerecsényi who has recently retired. Except one book, the company was able to ship the rest of ALG's order -- the three dedicated monographs --. He encloses an issue of their magazine "BookWorld" and hopes that ALG will receive the package soon. Hungarian CALG 5/01.15 Petres Judith to ALG1973/0304 In the name of the editorial staff of "Képes Magyar Világhiradó", Judith thanks ALG for the report he sent in March. It will appear in the April issue. Hungarian CALG 5/01.16 Monsigneur John Szabó to His Eminence Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty1973/0307 After long deliberations and many correspondences, the itinerary of the Cardinal's American visit is finally taking shape. People from Cleveland, though, ask his Eminence to start his round-trip in Cleveland if at all possible. Due to the large number of events already suggested, John Szabó suggests the consolidation of some of the visit. Hungarian CALG 5/01.17 Dr. Catherine Pedroni, Kató, to ALG1972/1204 Kató thanks ALG for the two letters. She looks forward to ALG's visit in Milan in January. They will return on the 10th after visiting Kenya and Tanzania. Kató, however, would rather visit her grandson in New York for Christmas or go to Paris. They plan a trip to the US in the Spring and hopes to see ALG in Chicago then. Hungarian CALG 5/01.18 Kerecsényi Dezsőné to ALG1972/1212 Kerecsényi Dezsőné was happy to hear that ALG included a few hand-written lines for her in his official letter. Somebody from her previous company, Kultura, called her at home and read the message. She recently retired from Kultura and now she is sorry not to work any more. Getting hold of books in Hungary and sending them to different departments or professors was her initiative at the company long time ago and now she misses her job. She is glad to hear that, all the same, ALG will visit Budapest next year and hopes to meet him personally at that time. Hungarian CALG 5/01.19 Dr. Nyékhelyi Tiborné to ALG1972/0412 Prof. Mezey asked Nyékhelyi Tiborné to send a copy of his article that has been recently published in the "Hungarian Bookreview" and she transmits his best regards to ALG. Hungarian CALG 5/01.20 Bödy Pál to ALG1972/0418 Since Pál's current job is ending in August he is looking for another academic position for the next year. He has sent in his application for an opening at Saint Mary's College but his future is very uncertain. He would be obliged if ALG would say a good word for him for this or may be other applications in the future. Hungarian CALG 5/01.21 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1971/1215 Ottó sends information concerning their 30th Reunion, which was held in a restaurant in Budapest. Many former students of ALG attended the ceremony. He wishes happy Christmas to ALG. Hungarian CALG 5/01.22 Klára to ALG1971/1204 Klára thanks ALG the letter and the stylish exlibris. She has sent the books to ALG's address instead to Miss Mary Davis for reasons that is hard to explain in a letter. She asks ALG to forward the consignement to Miss Davis. Klára is still interested in studying manuscript codices and therefore she would be happy to receive a scholarship abroad. She hopes that D. Laci, their common friend, has delivered her message to ALG in this matter. Klára would be very happy to see ALG and invites him to visit Budapest. Hungarian CALG 5/01.23 Nádas János to ALG1971/0915 On the occasion of the 11th Hungarian Meeting, János is glad to invite ALG to give the inaugural speech being the celebrated first president of the Árpád Academy. The hopes that ALG will accept this offer and supports the Academy with his participation that adds professionalism and eloquence to this festive occasion. Hungarian CALG 5/01.24 Nikolits Miksa to ALG1970/1214 In the name of the editorial staff of "Postakürt", the newspaper of the Hungarian Assciation of South Africa, Miksa thanks ALG for the letter and his recent book he donated to their small library. He asks ALG if he would write, for the January issue, a 2-3 page discourse to commemorate Pázmány Péter on his anniversary. Miksa is sorry for the late notice but hopes that ALG will still send the article. Hungarian CALG 5/01.25 Koronkay Imre to ALG1969/0829 Imre is sorry to bother ALG with this letter but he needs ALG's advice on his project. He sends detailed information on his current project "Historic Urban Squares". With his colleague, they would like to visit and examine Italian cities in the summer and test the methodology delineated in his thesis. Imre is inquiring from ALG for information concerning bibliography, personal networks, local data or anything that might help his project. He hopes to see ALG again soon. Hungarian CALG 5/01.26 Koronkay Imre to ALG1969/0814 Imre is forwarding to ALG his article on "Pleasant Cities of Hungary" and he would be obliged if ALG would indicate his remarks. Hungarian CALG 5/01.27 Invitation to the General Assembly of the Hungarian Helicon Society held in Toronto. Hungarian CALG 5/01.28 Vermes Gábor to ALG1969/0322 He thanks ALG for his letter. He was glad to hear that ALG is willing to help with his application. He agrees with ALG that during these hard times everybody needs plenty of optimism to be kept on his toes. Hungarian CALG 5/01.29 Negyedi Szabó Margit to ALG1971/0404 Margit thanks for the two copies of ALG's new book on Hungarian Saints. She will treasure it. Gombos Zoltán has featured two articles in two papers regarding ALG's latest tribute. Hungarian CALG 5/01.30 Zoli to ALG1970/0315 Zoli was happy to hear ALG's voice in the radio during his interview about old universities. At his current job, he is glad that he can use French, a language that ALG has hammered in his head long time ago at Gödöllő. His classmates are making plans for a possible 30th reunioun. After so many years, but still as ALG's faithful former student, Zoli encloses a picture of himself and sends his sincere regards. Hungarian CALG 5/01.31 Berka József to ALG1970/0320 Radio, this new technological innovation of the atom-era, conjured ALG into József room in Budapest thus he was able to hear ALG's youthful voice and experience his whole presence, which has not changed at all. József congratulates ALG for the interview. Hungarian CALG 5/01.32 Fábián Károly to ALG1970/0129 Károly inquires about the possibility to interview ALG in the Catholic Program of the Radio Free Europe. As the anchorman he asks ALG if he would pick details of his research concerning the concept and development of Hungarian Christianity. Should ALG agree to give this interview, he is to tell Károly where and when the speeches could be recorded. The interview will be broadcasted on a Sunday under the auspicies of the Millenium of the Hungarian Christianity. He looks forward to ALG's reply. Hungarian CALG 5/01.33 Dr. Holló János to ALG1971/0109 János is sorry to bother ALG with this note. But with ALG's posterior agreement János has passed on ALG's address to his son who will soon travel to the US. He thanks ALG for willing to help his son. Hungarian CALG 5/01.34 Kállay Feri to ALG1970/0222 On the occasion of Kállay Kristóf's visit, Feri and his wife invite ALG over for dinner held at their Valparaiso home. Hungarian CALG 5/01.35 Michael J. Horváth to ALG1970/0127 Michael encloses an invitation to the celebration of St. Stephen held at the Catholic University of America. He would appreciate it if ALG would send him a copy of his talk ALG gave at Washington last year as they have some plans to use it for publicity purposes. Hungarian CALG 5/01.36 Berzy József to ALG1970/0601 József introduces himself to ALG and reminds him about the event in New York where they met three years ago. He is the editor of "Hungarian Life" in Toronto. Since Bogyay Tamás has informed József about ALG's new book, The Medieval Universities of Pécs and Pozsony, he would appreciate it if ALG would send a short review or article about it, emphasizing events and parts of the book that are down to recent times. He will then publish the review in "Hungarian Life". Hungarian CALG 5/01.37 Gábor Vermes to ALG1970/0727 Gábor is glad to note that he got a one year appoitment at UC Irvine in the History Department where he will teach Russian history. His job at UCLA is ending soon and the university doesn't have the money to keep him there. Unfortunately they never intended to hire him as a full professor just as a sub, who teaches freshmen courses -- a fact he just found out recently--. He would appreciate it if ALG would inform him of any job openings in academia he knows about. Hungarian CALG 5/01.38 Fehér Mátyás Jenő to ALG1969/1221 Jenő has received the guide about ALG's book on the history of the two Hungarian universities and has already published it in their Hungarian Historical Review, including a photo of ALG. He sends information on the Hungarian Historical Review and asks ALG to be a member of its editorial board. Should ALG refuse the offer, Jenő is to ask Domonkos Laci, ALG's former student, instead. Although part of the fee that the paper pays to contributors from Hungary goes to the treasure-house of the Hungarian state, these writers nevertheless broaden the spectrum of the paper. Jenő would appreciate any advice ALG would give. Hungarian CALG 5/01.39 Dr. Holló János to ALG1969/0421 János is glad to hear that ALG has carried off the French Academies honours recently. He would be happy to meet ALG in Budapest these days. Hungarian CALG 5/01.40 Csertő Sándor to ALG1969/0311 Sándor received ALG's note together with Mrs. Kelly's letter. He asks ALG to inform in a few lines Mrs. Kelly that the case of her husband in Rome is going to close down soon and a response will be sent to Los Angeles Ordinariate. Sadly there has been a flux away from the altar in the church recently. But these marriages often don't last long. Therefore Sándor proposes to be very cautious when granting imprimaturs to people who once left the shrine. He looks forward to meet and talk again to ALG in July. Hungarian CALG 5/01.41 Prof. Gyula Moravcsik to ALG1970/0611 Gyula thanks ALG for his note and the recent picture. He congratulates ALG for his roaring academic success. Hungarian CALG 5/01.42 Veronika Gervers to ALG1969/0331 As a former student of Prof. Dezső Dercsényi, Veronika sends ALG two of her recent articles on the Romanesque Church architecture in Hungary. Now she lives in Toronto with her husband, Michael Gervers, who is writing his dissertation as medieval historian under Father Boyle. She informs ALG of her carreer and wishes happy Easter. Hungarian CALG 5/01.43 Prof. Vayer to ALG1969/0220 Prof. Vayer begs pardon for not writing sooner but he has been busy organizing the conference. He encloses a prospectus about it. He asks if ALG would visit Budapest at the end of September. Vayer thanks ALG for the picture he sent of himself, the information booklet of the Medieval Institute, and the rich Almanach. The appointment at Princeton will become due only after the conference. His wife sends her regards as well. Hungarian CALG 5/01.44 Mike József to ALG1969/0307 Instead of a C.V. József itemizes his many awards and accomplishments that are all related to research in biology. Unfortunately there is not enough funding and no ambience of scientific research in Europe, particularly in the communists-flooded Italy. Since many scientists have escaped Italy in the past couple of years to move to the United States, József inquires from ALG about the possibility of working at the University of Notre Dame's biology department. Milan Halmos, medical doctor at Youngstown, informed him that the department is interested in Phylo-Ontogenesis. Among others, József is doing research on the reversibility of the involuntary nervous system, which proves the existence of original sin. He has some plans to leave Europe due to the current political upheaval there but, at the same time, he has always had an aversion towards America. József asks ALG to contrast the realities and possibilites at Notre Dame with his credentials as an absolute believer. In the long run, József offers Notre Dame the solution to many of the problems Church and Humanity combats. He asks ALG's advice in this regard. Hungarian CALG 5/01.45 Dr. Nádas János to ALG1968/0315 The president along with the board of the Árpád Academy is glad to greet its members. ALG, who was the first elected president of the Academy, due to his many engagements of other sort, has resigned. But he will, in the future, widely support the work of the Institute. The president attaches to this letter a draft of the various departments the board is planning to establish soon and asks its members to send in their reccommendations for new fellows. Hungarian CALG 5/01.46 Lelkes Zoltán to ALG1968/0714 Zoltán thanks ALG for the letter and begs pardon for not writing sooner. He showed the letter to their old teacher, who also expects news from ALG. Zoltán is happy to hear about ALG's nice career but is sad for not being familiar with ALG's work. Now he teaches and educates young people, with considerable success, and only when he retires he plans to read all ALG's books. He hopes to see ALG sometimes in the future and invites him to Budapest, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 5/01.47 Letter to ALG from a friend from Our Lady of Daylesford Priory1967/1023 He informs ALG that Iván's funeral will be on the 2nd of November and asks ALG if he could attend. Since ALG himself plans to retreat here, he should make the trip to get familiar with the ambience. Also he hopes to discuss many other things with ALG, such as the whereabouts of their common friends. Hungarian CALG 5/01.48 Árvai Károly to ALG1997/0803 Finally Károly has found ALG's address and is able to write a few lines to his teacher from Gödöllő. He is happy to hear about ALG honorary degrees and other distinctions. Now he works at Eger, Hungary, in the main chapel. Mr. Paulay sent twice a $50 gift package to him, for which he was very grateful. It has been 23 years since ALG visited Eger the last time. Hungarian CALG 5/01.49 Tomek Vince to ALG1967/1023 Vince wrote a letter from Rome to the head of the school, Balogh Ferenc, in Budapest, to consider ALG's nephew for admission in the school. Vince would appreciate it if ALG would write to his brother and tell him to turn to Ferenc with confidence in this matter. He thanks ALG's kind words concerning the conveyance of his honorary degree. Hungarian CALG 5/01.50 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1966/1225 Ottó has not organized a class reunion since last year but plans to get together with former classmates in Winter. He sends information about his teacher, Tauszik, and classmate, Soldos Zoli, and inquires about ALG's travel plans in Europe. Hungarian CALG 5/01.51 Saád Béla to ALG1967/0626 Béla thanks ALG the copies. He is glad to propagate, through the newspaper, ALG's distinctions in Hungary as well.Hungarian CALG 5/01.52 Kálmán Tivadar to ALG1967/0803 Tivadar is happy to inform ALG that his son, Tamás, finally got accepted to the University of Notre Dame. He thanks ALG for his recommandation and his good word in the case since this is what has turned the scale. Thus ALG will be not only his, but his son's mentor as well. Hungarian CALG 5/02 Hungary and Hungarians1953-1993 CALG 5/02.01 Klára to ALG1967/0622 Klára's visit at the Ambrosiana Library two years ago was unsuccessful since she was informed that a large part of their material is not disclosed yet. So she welcomes ALG's idea to microfilm Ambrosiana's every manuscript and original text. She agrees with ALG concerning the Ford scholarship. She would apply but she is sure that her application will be blocked by the authorities somewhere along the line. Therefore she suggests to try a different approach where the initiative would come from abroad, such as an outside institution inviting her through her job at the Széchényi Public Library. Their Corvina tome is expected to be a huge success upon its arrival in September so Klára encourages ALG to order it now in order to receive a volume. She also asks ALG's advice on English-language requirements at the Ford-foundation. Klára thanks for the offer. Hungarian CALG 5/02.02 Dr. Fodor Henrik to ALG1967/0307 Henrik would appreciate it if ALG would intercede in his favor at the Medieval Philosphy Congress held in Montreal this summer. He will be an invited speaker there but he doesn't have enough money to buy the airplane tickets from Frankfurt, Germany, to Montreal, Canada. The Hungarian government will provide him with visas, official passport, $70 for expenses, and a ticket to Frankfurt. He also requests information concerning cheap accomodation in Montreal. Hungarian CALG 5/02.03 Simon Rezső to ALG1967/0315 Rezső has moved to Germany and would be happy to meet ALG when he will be visiting the area of Köln next time. Hungarian CALG 5/02.04 Csapodiné Klára to ALG1967/0125 Having received ALG's request, she had to forward the paperwork to the department of "old and rare book". Her job responsibility lets her to process only original manuscripts related requests. Klára and her husband are publishing their new book, called Corvinas Abroad, with 145 color reproductions. She invites ALG to Budapest where the giveaways of the war have completely dissapeared. Hungarian CALG 5/02.05 Kovács Sándor to ALG1966/0607 Sándor asks ALG to send his Hungarian related bibliography since 1963. It would complete the bibliography he sent earlier for the upcoming Hungarian Literary History Reference Book. Hungarian CALG 5/02.06 Györffy György to ALG1967/0102 György sends information about his current research. He works on the compilation and publishing of the records from XI-XII century for which he needed to spend three months in Paris this Fall. He asks ALG's help concerning the whereabouts of a letter written by King Béla the IIIrd. György also requests information concerning the Bethleem correspondences. He has heard the news that Prof. Szezesniak Boleslaw works at the University of Notre Dame who deals with the travel of Julianus. Should ALG meet the professor, he is to advice him about György's recent monograph on the same subject. M. Mailleux, from the Archive Nationales of Paris, has also mentioned ALG's great research to György. Hungarian CALG 5/02.07 Szarka Lajos to ALG1967/0103 Invitation to the Hungarian Gala Ball in Philadelphia, including a request for ALG's sponsorship of this year's ball. Hungarian CALG 5/02.08 Dr. Kardos T. Béla to ALG1967/0115 Béla's initiative to print in the United States the collective poems of the Hungarian poet, Mécs László, in one volume will probably be a great success. There are many orders for it already. But the printing needs a legal framework. He asks ALG and the Premontré Order, at large, to take over the monitoring of Mécs's earnings. Béla has made arrangements for publishing it with Wass Albert's Hungarian Literary Guild and encloses the letter he sent to him. Now Béla waits for ALG's decision whether to pool one's resources through the Order is a viable idea. Hungarian CALG 5/02.09 Dr. Kardos T. Béla to ALG1967/0108 Béla has just received Mécs László's letter from Hungary in which he authorizes the publishing of his poems in America. Béla recommends the book advertised in local newspapers. He also suggests that the members of the Premontré Order in America establish a Mécs László Fund and claim sole ownership of the Fund. ALG would be the president of the committe. Béla asks ALG if he would help in the fundraising to collect the necessary money needed for publishing the book. He sends the plans of future costs and revenues of this proposition. Hungarian CALG 5/02.10 Imre to ALG1967/0202 Imre thanks ALG for his letter and advice concerning the publishing of a monograph about Transylvania, Romania. He is sorry to note that neither the Vienna people nor he doesn't know where the analecta Praemonstratensia is. May be Hugó can help. Imre would be obliged if ALG would send him a picture of Saint Elisabeth. The Caritas Internationalis Wien Delegation is subsidizing Mécs László to a great extent as they made arrangements for him to get a small pension. Imre encloses the poets letter in which he talks about initiating the funds for his collection of poems. But Mécs never asked for individual subsidy. Hungarian CALG 5/02.11 Dr. Kardos T. Béla to ALG1967/0209 Béla is sorry for not writing sooner, but he was busy with the Mécs correspondence. He sends information concerning the draft of the contract, worded by himself and already signed by the writer/publisher Wass Albert. He hopes Mécs László will sign it as well. Béla is sorry to hear that ALG doesn't want to monitor the publishing of the volume as it's too risky to just leave this to the publisher. Béla hopes that he can further count on ALG's support of this initiative, which is after all a common Hungarian interest. Hungarian CALG 5/02.12 Dr. Csizmadia Andor to ALG1966/0310 Andor is sorry to hear that ALG will not send a treatise for their upcoming omnibus volume. It is unfortunate because the study would have been on the occasion of the 600 year jubilee of Pécs University's, of which ALG is the first and most known scholar. But to include ALG in the ceremony, Andor asks him to participate as an invited speaker and he will publish his address later. He hopes that ALG agrees with this suggestion and accepts the offer. Hungarian CALG 5/02.13 Dr. Kardos T. Béla to ALG1966/1217 Béla encloses the memorandum that ALG needs to sign and forward to Monsignor Sabo. Should ALG forward it, he is to request that Mr. Sabo sign it as well and send it to the Secretary General, Dr. Somogyi. In the meanwhile, Béla will contact not only other Hungarian writers but Kodály Zoltán as well to make intercession in favor of Mécs László in Hungary. Hungarian CALG 5/02.14 Dr. Pogány András to ALG1966/0918 András asks ALG to send an article in order to contribute to the Anniversary Volume of the Federation. Hungarian CALG 5/02.15 Fehér Jenő to ALG1966/0208 Jenő hopes that ALG still remembers their meeting 20 years ago in Kassa, Hungary. Fehér Mátyás was his name back then. Since then he has moved to Argentina where he has left the Order; he used to be a black friar. Jenő managed to rescue and bring with him medieval materials and compilations of great importance. Now Jenő would like to sell some of these in America. He asks ALG for his confidential help in finding possible buyers or publishers who would be interested in his work "Proceedings of the Hungarian Medieval Heathen Inquisition. He attaches the prologue of his study. Hungarian CALG 5/02.16 ALG's friend from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences to ALG1969/0630 He thanks ALG for his letter, a copy of his article, and the many interesting news. He sends information once again on the mysterious Fehér Jenő and his enigmatic book. ALG, too, has already investigated the subject. The author has published his book on Medieval Hungarian Inquisition in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but nobody knows wheather what he writes is true or not. Thus, in Hungary, scholars question his source material and his Hungarian translations of the Latin text in the codicies. He hopes to see ALG again soon in France. Hungarian CALG 5/02.17 Letter from Hungary asking for a letter of recommendation to be sent to the director of the Weil Institute for a summer fellowship. Hungarian1966/0328 CALG 5/02.18 Ravcsi to ALG1966/0511 Ravcsi's promotion to full professor at Loyola College in Montreal is before the committe. He requests ALG to write a letter of recommendation on his behalf. ALG's few good words would help his promotion more than the Dean's of the McGill Divinity School. Ravcsi is visiting South Bend in June and plans to meet ALG to thank him his kindness in person as well. Hungarian CALG 5/02.19 Dr. Csizmadia Andor to ALG1966/0813 Andor informs ALG about the correct date of the jubilee. It will be in August of 1967. He hopes that ALG will be able to attend the ceremony and give a short presentation as well. Hungarian CALG 5/02.20 Andrés Andújar to ALG1964/1115 Andrés' son, János, having determined to apply to the University of Notre Dame in the fall, wrote a letter to Rev. James E. Moran and asked him to expedite the decision. Now Andrés asks ALG to call up Mr. Moran to support his son's request and to give him a reference. Hungarian CALG 5/02.21 Hoványi Pál to ALG1965/0626 Pál begs pardon for requesting ALG's help. He has been looking for a job in the library since last November to no avail. He is 60 years now but he can request Social Security only when he will 65. He would appreciate it if ALG would find him a position in the library at Notre Dame. In Hungary, he lost his job twice for political reasons and here in Washington many people misinterpret Pál's "European background". Hungarian CALG 5/02.22 Stephen Róna to Catherine Pásztory1957/1115 As Catherine is the best Hungarian art historian living outside of Hungary, Stephen asks her advice about the Louis Kossuth bust he ownes in Budapest. He intends to sell it in the United States, but doesn't know how much to ask for it. ALG has recommended Catherine to him. Hungarian CALG 5/02.23 Stephen Róna to ALG1956/1210 Today he sent to ALG an expedited letter and attached a picture of the art piece as well for ALG's consideration. Hungarian CALG 5/02.24 Stephen Róna to Catherine Pásztory1958/0214 Stephen thanks Catherine for her letter. He agrees with her that the world is small. He is sorry for not realizing sooner that the person ALG has recommended him concerning the bust, Catherine, has been his families acquaintance. Stephen thanks Catherine for reminding him when they met in Budapest long time ago and gives an account of the major events in his life. He asks Catherine to support the sale of the 1890 Kossuth-bust. Hungarian CALG 5/02.25 Stephen Róna to ALG1956/1210 Stephen would have written sooner but he was busy with the recent tumultuous political events. He received the Selous book that ALG sent and now he is happy reading it. He thanks ALG for his interest in the famous Kossuth bust. He wishes to sell it but doesn't know its artistic value. He would be obliged if ALG would suggest him someone who can help in this regard. Hungarian CALG 5/02.26 Stephen Róna to ALG1957/0204 The copy of the letter ALG wrote to Dr. Pásztory Kató has arrived. He thanks ALG for all his trouble concerning the sell of the Kossuth-bust. In Budapest he regularly meets Ottó and they always talk about ALG. Hungarian CALG 5/02.27 Höfle Károly to ALG1965/0301 As a member of a well known Hungarian family, who are devout Catholics, Károly wishes to send his son to study at Notre Dame. Now they live in Venezuela but both his sons speak perfect English. He would be obliged if ALG would put in a good word for his son to get accepted. As the universities in Caracas are all influenced by Marxist professors he is reluctant to send his son there. Hungarian CALG 5/02.28 Magyar László to ALG1965/0302 In 1963, László visited his mother and his hometown the first time after 15 years. He is sorry to note that the statue of Saint Norbert that used to be in the Premontré School has dissapeared. The school itself became a public school. He just found ALG's picture in the Register and congratulates ALG for his successful academic carreer. Hungarian CALG 5/02.29 Saád Feri to ALG Feri informs ALG that a couple of years ago he moved to the United States where he teaches French. He is glad to hear that ALG is the most successful among the Hungarian emigrants. He wishes that someone would write a book about the values Hungary granted to America. Feri sends information about the whereabouts of common friends, the famous Hungarian writer, Fekete István. His wife also sends her regards to ALG from Greenville. Hungarian CALG 5/02.30 Rev. Darnoi Miklós to ALG1964/1104 Miklós would be obliged if ALG would write a strong recommendation in his favor to the National Science Foundation before December 14th. He wishes good health to ALG. Hungarian CALG 5/02.31 Dr. Heltai György to ALG1964/1027 György is sorry to note that due to funding problems they had to close down the Nagy Imre Institute in Brussels. He then has moved to the United States and has been looking for a position in the academia. He invites ALG to visit them in Washington. Hungarian CALG 5/02.32 Kohári József to ALG1964/0917 Since they plan to decorate the St. Elisabeth Chapel in Toronto, Canada, with portraits of Hungarian Saints, József would be obliged if ALG would provide them with representations of various Hungarian saints that are close to their original portraits. Hungarian CALG 5/02.33 Sőtér István to ALG1964/0918 István is glad to note that he has received the copy of ALG's book and the picture of ALG with Prof. Heisenberg.

He invites ALG to Rome in September upon ALG's visit in Milan. Hungarian CALG 5/02.35 Rev. Angelus Kovach to ALG1964/0511 Rev. Angelus Kovach inquires about information concerning Hungarian immigrants around Boston, in particular if they have a priest or not. He plans to move to a place where he will attend the spiritual life of Hungarians. Twenty years ago, it was him, the Capuchin Father, who took in the confreres fleeing from the Russians from ALG's French College at Gödöllő, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 5/02.36 Detre László to ALG1964/0721 László thanks ALG for writing an article for their paper and for Lajti István's address. Hungarian CALG 5/02.37 Detre László to ALG1964/0619 The review that is just dawning under László's initiative is in need of serious scholarly work, like the ones ALG is writing. Therefore László asks ALG to contribute an article to the paper, which will be free of politics but at the same time will export Hungarian culture to the West. This fits right into ALG's research. The studies will be published in French or other European languages in Montpellier, France. Hungarian CALG 5/02.38 Fáj Attila to ALG1961/0821 Attila sends a few lines about the "Annales", the year-book of the Káldi Society, and would be obliged if ALG would send an essay to the editorial staff, in a language other than Hungarian and with a resume attached. The theme should be related to something Hungarian. He thanks ALG for his eventual collaboration. Hungarian CALG 5/02.39 Angyal Bandi to ALG1964/0817 Bandi is glad to hear that ALG had a good time in Cracow, Poland, at the Jagello-University jubilee. If Bandi knew that ALG will attends, he would have made the trip as well to meet him. He did some travelling in Italy in the summer and now plans to visit the United States. Bandi asks ALG's help to fascilitate his visit. Hungarian CALG 5/02.40 Alexander Farago to ALG1964/0823 Alexander acquired important original Hungarian documents by bidding for the artifacts of the Ernst Museum. Now he plans to convert them into money. Since these are historical documents, he wants them to be in Hungarian hands in the future as well. Should ALG be interested in buying them, he is to let him know as soon as possible. Hungarian CALG 5/02.41 Rev. Anselm Nagy to ALG1964/0219 Rev. Anselm Nagy thanks ALG for his kind words he sent for the benediction of the Cistercian Monastery. He agrees with ALG that they need follow the track of the great old dominie orders of Hungary. Hungarian CALG 5/02.42 Wigner Jenő to ALG1964/0119 Prof. Wigner thanks ALG for his felicitation on the occasion of winning the Nobel-prize. He is sorry for not writing sooner and for noting that he doesn't remember their meeting. He wishes good health to his fellow countryman, ALG. Hungarian CALG 5/02.43 Zoltán B. to ALG1964/0217 He thanks ALG for his January 17th letter and compliments ALG for being at Harvard. He sends information concerning his confirmed bachelor life. He also inquires about common friends living in diaspora. Hungarian CALG 5/02.44 Dr. Villányi Bokor Károly to ALG1964/0326 Since it is difficult to obtain a permanent position in Montreal and to make a living teaching Soviet Studies there, Károly inquires about the possibilities lecturing at the University of Notre Dame. He would be obliged if ALG would forward his application and CV to the Political Science Department. Hungarian CALG 5/02.45 Büky Lajos to ALG1963/1001 Lajos informs ALG about his academic background and personal data. Sice he is looking for a teaching position, he asks ALG to interview him. He is a 1956 refugee and lives in Chicago with his family. Hungarian CALG 5/02.46 Lágyi István to ALG1964/0330 Pista has not received ALG's book yet, though it has been mailed long time ago. He asks ALG to send his biographical data and a list of his literary works after 1944. He also would like ALG to send him magazins, university year-books, and scholars-cyclopaedias that are obsolete in the United States. He sends information concerning their common friends: Kovács Kandid, Egyed, Várkonyi, and Bernát. Hungarian CALG 5/02.47 Kovács Zoltán to ALG1964/0311 Zoltán is sorry to hear that no agreement was reached in the case of the microfilms. He forwarded ALG's request to the National Széchényi Library in Budapest, Hungary, so hereafter Dr. Csapodi Csabáné will take charge of it. Hungarian CALG 5/02.48 Kovács Sándor to ALG1963/0926 Sándor plans to publish the Hungarian Literary History. He requests ALG to send an account of his publications, including articles published about Hungary and Hungarian Medieval subjects and book reviews with bibliographic informations. Hungarian CALG 5/02.49 Kovács Sándor to ALG1963/1016 Sándor thanks ALG for his nine page long, detailed bibliography that is of great great value. Should ALG be interested in publishing his work in Hungary, he is to send his manuscript with confidence to Hungarian Literary History News Bulletin, the editor of which is Sándor himself. Hungarian CALG 5/02.50 Bandi to ALG Bandi wishes that ALG would help him find a releif organization that will advance him $480 so he can leave the United States and move to Europe. Since he is unemployed with no income at all he is often starving. Moreover, when in 1960 he left Hungary to San Francisco, his brother was arrested and wrongly tortured back home. This critical situation made Bandi to appeale to the United Nations, but still he didn't receive any help here in America. Thus he plans to move and requests ALG's help. Hungarian CALG 5/02.51 Andrew Horvath to ALG1964/0205 Andrew requests information concerning enrollment at Notre Dame Engineering Department while teaching. He sends a short introduction of himself. Hungarian CALG 5/02.52 Kovács Zoltán to ALG1963/1223 Zoltán received two books written by ALG in 1944. Sice there was no return address on the package, he can only guess that ALG has sent it. He thanks ALG for the copies. Hungarian CALG 5/02.53 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1963/1219 As a student, Ottó has failed many times in the Premontré High-school at Gödöllő. But he was considered smart in other schools. His teachers were all very strict, but good, university professors, who instilled not only the academic material but morals too. Instead of just lecturing ALG gave the heartiest education to them all. Now Ottó finally obtained a travel passport from the authorities and plans to meet ALG next summer somewhere in Europe. Hungarian CALG 5/02.54 Gáll Endréné, (Perczel Sziszi) to ALG1964/0129 Sziszi and her husband are applying for teaching positions in California. She asks ALG to make the necessary inquiries concerning teaching at Notre Dame during the summer and to recommend them at the Catholic schools in the Bay area. She invites ALG to visit them in Berkley. Hungarian CALG 5/02.55 Szizsi to ALG1964/0220 Sziszi thanks ALG for forwarding her husband's CV to Notre Dame. She also informs ALG about their teaching plans for the summer. Hungarian CALG 5/02.56 Csapodi Csabáné to ALG1964/0401 Csapodi Csabáné is surprised to hear that ALG has not received the two microfilms she sent last year. She is now copying the two codicies again hoping they will get there this time. Hungarian CALG 5/02.57 Sőtér István to ALG1964/0402 István is sorry to hear that the new Hungarian Literary Encyclopedia has published erronous data concerning ALG's work. But just in the next edition of the volume will the editorial staff make the necessary corrections. It is too late to correct the current volume. Hungarian CALG 5/02.58 Lágyi István to ALG1964/0423 István is surprised to see from his list of publications that ALG has published 83 books, essays, and articles so far. He asks ALG to send copies of his writings. István informs ALG about new periodicals and books appearing in Hungary. He asks ALG to send him geographical pamphets and maps of Indiana, books, magazines, and catalogues with historical and geographical information. Hungarian CALG 5/02.59 Csapodi Csabáné to ALG1964/0221 Kovách Zoltán told her that ALG did not receive the microfilms. Csapodi Csabáné asks ALG to confirm this with her so she can look into the case. The National Széchényi Library mailed the microfilm of the Szalkai-codicies in May of 1963 already. However ALG's other order, the codicies of a XIIth century textbook, has been copied but not mailed out to him. Hungarian CALG 5/02.60 Konyáthy Miklós to ALG1964/0108 In Budapest, Hungary, Miklós attends the Medieval Collection of the National Archives. Now he is in Paris surveying the Hungarian Medieval Documents of the Archives Nationales. Meanwhile Ms. Lanchers informed him that ALG has recently researched the same collection. Thus Miklós would be obliged if ALG would share his findings with him. Hungarian CALG 5/02.61 Obituary of Dr. Kármán Tódor President of the Hungarian University Association. Hungarian CALG 5/02.62 Dömötör Ede to ALG1963/0619 Hofle Imre, from Venezuela, would like to send his two sons to the United States to attend the University of Notre Dame. Ede, as the minister of the Hungarians in Venezuela, would be obliged if ALG would assist Imre in his plan as he is the greatest benefactor of Hungarians in Caracas. Hungarian CALG 5/02.63 Ecsödi János to ALG1963/0914 John Turley told him that there might be an opening in the Linguistics Department at Notre Dame. János asks ALG to find out what is the field in demand. As a man of insight, ALG gave valuable advice to him back then, when he lived in Brazilia. Now he would like ALG to inform him again of the pension plan and the social justice policy of the university. Hungarian CALG 5/02.64 Hugó to ALG1963/0708 On the 12th, Hugó has to leave to Rome so he asks ALG to visit him before that. Reverend Noets is there too on vacation and ALG will meet him if he goes. Hugó looks forward to their meeting. Hungarian CALG 5/02.65 Kovács Zoltán to ALG1963/0622 Zoltán thanks ALG for the book, Skara House at the Medieval University of Paris. It will be a nice addition to the Library of the canon residentiary. He is glad to see that even so far away from Hungary ALG stands for Hungarian related science and research. Hungarian CALG 5/02.66 Sándor to ALG1963/0608 In the name of the members of the Order, Sándor thanks ALG for his condolences and sympathy on the occasion of Dr. Balanyi György's death. Hungarian CALG 5/02.67 Holub Józsefné to ALG1963/0410 Although she made every effort, Holub Józsefné could not send her husband's books over to ALG's library. Many libraries, archives, and booksellers from Hungary wanted the collection. Thus she gave the books away to them one by one. She thanks ALG for remembering them. Hungarian CALG 5/02.68 Csapodi Csabáné to ALG1963/0417 The National Széchényi Library received both letters sent by ALG. Everything is going well with ALG's order. He should be receiving the microfilms within a few weeks. Csapodi Csabáné remembers too when at the university they were both attending Prof. Horváth János' lectures. Hungarian CALG 5/02.69 ALG to Dr. Gárdonyi Klára (Csapodi Csabáné)1963/0423 ALG thanks Klára for her help in copying the two manuscripts. The Acquisition Department at Notre Dame will be paying the bill when the material arrives. ALG bought the books of Horváth János' and now reads them in his free time. He congratulates Klára for her excellent article that appeared in "Acta". Hungarian CALG 5/02.70 ALG to Dr. Fényes Miklós1959/1023 ALG is glad to hear that the books for the Pécs University Library have arrived. He will send more publications, but not in Hungarian, for the "Pannonia Catalogue". ALG has nice memories of Miklós's ideal family spreading classic peace and neighbourliness around. For years but with great progress, ALG is working on a narrow subject: Students of Pécs studying abroad. With this new book ALG will lay his homage at the most peaceful, most erudite, and oldest town's feet in Hungary: Pécs. ALG's Medieval Institute has the broadest collection in the area of history of universities. He sends his regards to Miklós mother. Hungarian CALG 5/02.71 Dr. Fényes Miklós to ALG1959/1002 Miklós thanks ALG for the "Student Life in Ave Maria College". ALG dedicated the book to his parents, who were at the same time Miklós neighbours on the Makár-vineyard. Schmidt Piroska from the Makár was his mother. Miklós asks ALG to send other writings of his for inclusion in the "Pannonia Catalogue". Hungarian CALG 5/03 Hungary and Hungarians1953-1993 CALG 5/03.01 Csupor Zoltán Mihály to ALG1960/1028 Zoltán has a large private collection of Hungarian written monuments in Tordas, Hungary. He asks ALG to send him, as a gift, the microfilm on the Unviersity of Louvain that contains Hungarian codices. Zoltán collects the works of the great linguist Sajnovics János who studied Finnugor relations. Hungarian CALG 5/03.02 Mr. Boda to ALG1960/0826 The University of Notre Dame told Mr. Boda that by mistake "Kultura" sent two copies of the book "Records of King Matthias". But they had two purchase orders for the two copies: one for ALG's private library and one for the university. He would be obliged if ALG would unravel the case with the university as they did not respond to Mr. Boda's letter. Hungarian CALG 5/03.03 Dr. Dvarhelyi Tibor to ALG1960/1017 Tibor received Dr. Francis D. Lazenby's letter. For the records, he wishes to clarify to ALG that his bookseller's shop is helping both Americans and Hungarians by spreading news about Hungary. Tibor, owner of Hungarian Bookstore, just published and sent out "True Hungary" to 700 universities and libraries for free. He knows that books in Europe are cheeper. But Hungarian books here are sold at higher price to compensate for shipping costs and exchange of currency. Any privy, such as ALG, should support this endeavour. Hungarian CALG 5/03.04 Short article about Msgr. Varga Béla1960/0301 In Californian's Hungarian Life (with ALG's comments). CALG 5/03.05 Kovrig Béla to ALG Béla has ordered a book soon after it was published this year in Budapest. Nevertheless the publisher said that they are out of print. Now he inquires about a creditable bookseller, which sells Hungarian books and magazins but without revealing Béla's identity to the communist authorities. Hungarian CALG 5/03.06 ALG to Prof. Joseph Holub1959/1023 ALG thanks Joseph for his letter informing him about the new Hilduin-material. As soon as it is published ALG will order an imprint. ALG would also like to order a copy of Joseph's new studies since the Medieval Library owns only his Carmina. The studies should be in either French, German, or Italian as few people know Hungarian here. Unfortunately ALG lost contact with Pécs none the less that he worked in the Episcopial Library there when he was 13 years old. Hungarian CALG 5/03.07 ALG to Prof. Zolnai Since Zolnai's book at the publisher in Hungary was out of print, ALG requests a copy from him. ALG sends information about common friends, such as Tini and Schwarcz Elemér. He thinks that life in Luxemburg suits Zolnai well. ALG invites Prof. Zolnai to Stockholm. Michael Francis is ALG's good friend there. The Hungarian Academy just announced the number of scholars to be nomitad (27) without their names. ALG hopes Zolnai is one of them. Two of ALG's studies are on the way to the university library. Hungarian CALG 5/03.08 ALG to George Szabó1959/1015 ALG is glad to hear about George's new article that mentions the discovery of the three "corvinas". ALG himself wrote a study on one, namely the original text from the Vatican, but he has not finished it. It is the Latin version of the Arrian that was prepared by Paulo Vergerio to the Hungarian King Zsigmond. Hungarian CALG 5/03.09 Landser Ferenc to ALG1959/0530 Pater Bonifacius Luyckx told Ferenc to contact ALG and to request help. Ferenc sends information concerning his move to Belgium in 1956 including his profile. Now he lost his job but would like to continue working in his field (law) to be able to support his family. He would be obliged if ALG would help and advice him what to do. As a graduate of benedictine, Ferenc knows the Premontré Order from Jászó and Csorna, Hungary, very well. Hungarian CALG 5/03.10 Krivatsy Péterné, Nati, to ALG1959/0528 Nati asks whether ALG will visit them in Washington to attend the ALA convention. Both her and her husband work with old, rare books and plan to attend the Charlottsville conference before the convention. She hopes to meet ALG soon in the future as they missed his visit two years ago. Hungarian CALG 5/03.11 Horváth Zoltán to ALG1959/0309 Zoltán thanks ALG for recommending his son, Géza, for admission and scholarship to Notre Dame. He has asked Eckhart Tibor to talk to ALG concerning admission. His family escaped Hungary to provide a decent education for their children. In Hungary they would have been denied admission to the university. Zoltán is especially glad that his son will attend Notre Dame because he will be educated in a Catholic spirit, next to ALG, which is a chance that the Hungarian red atheism did not offer. Hungarian CALG 5/03.12 Papp György to ALG1959/0424 György invites ALG to visit Fort Wayne on the occasion of the Polony Elemér's exhibition at the Art Museum. He also inquires about information concerning a possible exhibit in South Bend or at Notre Dame. György and Elemér were classmates in high-school. György tried to call ALG twice, but could not reach him. He would help ALG with the exhibition of Elemér's paintings. Hungarian CALG 5/03.13 Fodor Antonia to ALG1959/0426 Since she is applying for associate professor of library sciences in New York, Antonia asks ALG to write a recommendation on her behalf. ALG probably remembers her from St. Mary's College. She invites ALG to visit her home in Lansing, Michigan. Hungarian CALG 5/03.14 ALG to Dr. Fényes Miklós1959/0501 Charles Sheedy forwarded to ALG Miklós letter. ALG is glad to help him concerning the book order. ALG also sent his rare and expensive book, which was dedicated to his parents, to the University Library of Pécs. But he doesn't know if the package arrived. ALG has nice memories of the Pécs library. As 14 years old, he remembers spending time there reading 18th century French novels in editio princeps. Hungarian CALG 5/03.15 Pista (Lágyi István) to ALG1958/1221 Pista thanks ALG for his December 12th letter. He reminds ALG when they walked the streets of Paris together so much that ALG almost foundered. He asks ALG to send school-atlases and geographical magazines. Pista sends information about new trends in Budapest, Hungary, such as the renovation of the lightning of public spaces, in fashion, eating, construction, intellectual life, publishing, and the appearance of snack bars and caffees. He wishes Happy Christmas to ALG. He asks ALG to write about Indiana as time permits. Hungarian CALG 5/03.16 ALG to Mályusz Elemér1957/1125 ALG is glad to correspond again with his former teacher, Elemér, after such a long time. Recently ALG has collected all Elemér's works in the Medieval Institute Library and therefore he frequently reads them. ALG's collection of books on the history of universities is unique in the United States that includes many important Hungarian material as well. ALG will send the money to the Archives of the Vatican soon. However it might not get there on time. ALG sends information concerning his current research dealing with the Chartularium, Traguriai Mihály, and Martinus de Bereck. He inquires about the Görgő family and sends his regards to Elemér's wife. If it's not inconvenient to his professor then ALG sends his regards to everybody from his Alma Mater. Hungarian CALG 5/03.17 Mályusz Elemér to ALG1957/1120 Per ALG's request, Elemér is sending by airmail the two books to Notre Dame. The invoice is attached to the package. Elemér requests ALG to remit payment, in dollars, to Pásztor Lajos, Litta del Vaticano, Archivio Segreto, who will give the money to Elemér afterwords. If he gets the approval for the extension from Budapest, Hungary, Elemér will stay in Rome until December. He thanks ALG for his help in the augmentation. But he asks ALG not to mention the matter in the letters he will send later to Hungary. The material Elemér plans to research in the Vatican Archives and Library is extensive. Hungarian CALG 5/03.18 Mályusz Elemér to ALG1957/1112 Although he writes rarely to ALG, Elemér is sorry to write about business instead of research on such rare occasion. Now he is in Rome attending a conference. He brought two books with him from Hungary. One is Danko's Vetus hymnarium and the other is the Ábel series. The former is a rare original copy from his own collection while the latter is stamped with seals of Széchy Károly and the public school. Elemér sets a high value on the Dankó master print. Together with Pásztor Lajos they appraised the value to be $120 and $30, respectively, and asks ALG if he would be interested in buying them. He requests ALG's confidentiality in this matter when sending letters to Hungary. He plans to visit Vienna, Austria, in the summer and hopes to see ALG there. Hungarian CALG 5/03.19 Komjáthy Miklós to ALG1957/0523 Miklós thanks ALG for his prompt reply and also for his order. From Vienna Miklós sent the package with the 1955-56 issues of the Hungarian Archives in it. He requests ALG to pay $8.50 to Rev. Alexander Németh, living in Vienna, for these two volumes. Although it is difficult to buy old books Miklós will try his best to acquire some for ALG. Hungarian CALG 5/03.20 Komjáthy Miklós to ALG1957/0531 Miklós mailed the two volumes of the Hungarian Archives to ALG. He is glad that ALG purchased them since it relieved some of Miklós' money worries too. He wrote to many old friends but nobody replied but ALG. He asks ALG to write a letter soon to Vienna and to share his opinion about their collateral behaviour in this sad period that follows the overthrow of the 1956 revolution. He sends information concerning the eminence of some of their common friends in Hungary. Hungarian CALG 5/03.21 ALG to Komjáthy Miklós1957/0517 ALG did not write sooner because he has been away at Harward and Washington. He hopes Miklós will receive this letter while he is still in Vienna. ALG would like to purchase the two volumes of the Hungarian Archives. Also he wants to buy writings published in Hungary by Miklós and his friends since they are all high-quality works. At Notre Dame, ALG is in need of old books, such as Ábel's Hungarian Universities, Danko's Vetus hymnarium, and the whole series of the Hungarian Sion. Hungarian CALG 5/03.22 Komjáthy Miklós to ALG1957/0503 Miklós has been doing research in the Vienna Public Archives for two weeks. Should ALG remember him, he is to reply by return of post to the Vienna address provided (to Prof. Franz Deéd) without mentioning Miklós' name. He asks ALG not to talk about this correspondence to any Hungarian. There were many cases of "reliable" immigrants informing the AVO (Hungarian Secret Service) about Hungarians in the West corresponding with people living in Hungary. These people ended up in jail in Hungary. Benda Marci sends the message and asks if ALG is in need of books. Marci could send everything out from the country to him. Miklós informs ALG about the arrangements to remit payment afterwards. Now Miklós has two volumes of the series Hungarian Archives with him in Vienna. He would appreciate it if ALG would buy them since he has money worries. He inquires about ALG's opinion regarding the situation of the Hungarians who stayed in Hungary after the revolution. If ALG has any questions, he could answer them without hindrance and in great details from Vienna. Hungarian CALG 5/03.23 Dr. Polzovics Iván to ALG1957/04/05 Iván and his wife intend to leave Hungary and emigrate to the United States. He would be obliged if ALG, as his old friend, would procure a legal invitation for them and would inquire about teaching positions in academia. Iván informs ALG about his qualifications and work experience. In Hungary, there is a new law that allows citizens over 45 to leave the country. Iván is 48 now and this is his last chance to fulfill his long cherished dreams. Hungarian CALG 5/03.24 Angyal Endre to ALG1957/0817 Endre wishes good health to ALG for his upcoming birthday. He received both the V. de Beauvais study and the Mickiewicz volume, whereof he will soon write a criticism in German. He sends his regards to Ivan Mesterovic, the great Croatian sculptor, who lives and works in South Bend. Although he specialized in Slavic Baroque, in the fall Endre will teach a course on Medieval Literary History at the University of Debrecen. ALG is to send information about new publications in America summarizing this topic. Hungarian CALG 5/03.25 Borsa Iván to ALG1957/0220 Per ALG's request, Iván sends the microfilm containing a notary treatise by Nyirkállai Tamás. The National Archives in Budapest, Hungary, is sorry for the delay in making and sending the microfilm. Hungarian CALG 5/03.26 Róna István to ALG1956/0216 István thanks ALG for his letter and for his help in acquiring the two previous books. But István asks ALG to send him a third book as well: A Hunter's Wandering in Africa. Also he is interested in reading ALG's Student Life in Ave Maria College thus he will ask for it from his brother, Ottó. Hungarian CALG 5/03.27 Juhász László to ALG1956/0607 Prof. Mezey told László that ALG asked for the microfilm of the Nyirkálló-codicies. He informs ALG that Kumorovitz Bernát has worked on the same subject for over a year now. If ALG sends some of his other writings, László will publish it in the Bibliotheca series that he edits and publishes under the auspicies of the Hungarian Academy. Later this year, he will send ALG Mezey László's new book and asks him to write a review in an American periodical. Hungarian CALG 5/03.28 ALG to Dr. Juhász László1956/0703 ALG thanks László for his kind letter and for the prospectus. He does not intend to publish the text of the Nyirkálló- codicies. ALG sends his plans concerning monographs, copies of files, manuscripts, and microfilms he would like to order for the Medieval Institute Library from Hungary. ALG will make arrangements to pay for everything he orders for his library. Unfortunately he will not collaborate with the editorial staff of the Bibliotheca series because he is busy working on the Paris Chartularium. He hopes to publish the work on Váradi Balázs next year. Hungarian CALG 5/03.29 Angyal Endre to ALG1954/1215 Endre begs pardon for his delay in writing. He was busy working. He is glad that they exchange their published writings and is proud of ALG for following with attention Endre's and other Hungarian scholars' academic achievements. He is sad to note that he will not be able to make microfilm copies of the works of Ábel Jenő and Békefi Remig as ALG requested. Endre would spend half of his monthly salary on the expenses. He wishes happy Christmas to ALG. Hungarian CALG 5/03.30 Orosz Gábor to ALG1954/0702 Per ALG's request Gábor inquired about information concerning the order of the antiquated books, microfilming the codicies, and the codicies-catalogues. ALG is to order the books directly from the Cultura Bookstore Co. as private individuals are prohibited to send books abroad. ALG needs to officially order the microfilms through the Széchényi Public Library. But Gábor will cover the costs and will follow with attention the order so it doesn't get lost. Hungarian CALG 5/03.31 Orosz Gábor to ALG1954/0420 Gábor is sorry that he has not contacted ALG for ages. Lately his research came to a halt due to the lack of sources. Gábor lists the material he would need to continue with his research. Since they are all available in the United States he would be obliged if ALG would send them to him. He will send a book about Hungarian architecture in gratitude for ALG's kindness. Hungarian CALG 5/03.32 Takács Jenő to ALG1961/0120 Jenő has been setting to music a mysthic poem about Spanish Saint Teresa. He asks if ALG would explain some words and phrases in the text that neither him nor his publisher understand, for example "She is the daughter of God the Father". His wife, Eve, sends her regards to ALG. Hungarian CALG 5/03.33 Bocsi József to ALG1960/0719 József has just arrived to the United States and now lives in New York. He is a refugee without a scholarship or a job. But he has a degree in French. He would be obliged if ALG would find a position for him in his Medieval Institute or the French Department at Notre Dame. ALG is to reply to his N.C.W.C. address. Hungarian CALG 5/03.34 Tarnoczy Ádám to ALG1960/0923 Ádám sends information concerning Miss Nancy Gailord from Yale University. He already refered her to ALG.

The Etudes is the publication of the Imre Nagy Institute in Brussels and the latest issue has been mailed to ALG. Hungarian CALG 5/03.36 Krajcsik György to ALG1960/0323 György was sad at the news ALG has sent. But he is still hopeful that his son will be accepted to Notre Dame. He thanks ALG for his kind help in this matter. Hungarian CALG 5/03.37 Pál Nagy to ALG1959/0628 Pál is a student at Sorbonne. He read ALG's essay in the Yearbook of the Catholic Academy. Since he doesn't have the money to purchase one, he asks ALG if he would send a copy of his essay (Martin de Bereck) and also the Almanach. Hungarian CALG 5/03.38 Teszleri Zoltán to ALG1959/1024 Zoltán notes that ALG and him met three years ago at Budinszky Géza's home in South Bend. Now Zoltán is a pianist in New York where he gives concerts and private lessons. Not liking the frenzied tumult of New York, Zoltán intends to move back to South Bend and would like ALG to help him find a position in the Department of Music at Notre Dame. He can teach piano, organ, or any other music related subject. He hopes ALG still remembers him and will make the necessary intercession for him. Hungarian CALG 5/03.39 Király Béla to ALG1959/1208 Béla thanks ALG for the publication of the Medieval Institute and for the information about Radisics Elemér. He hopes that ALG will visit him in New York at his earliest convenience to discuss their mutual problems. Hungarian CALG 5/03.40 ALG to Thuróczy György1959/1022 ALG plans to write an article about Hungarian Students attending Medieval Universities; their life back then shows many similaritites to our present life. He thinks that students need to collaborate closely with their current and previous professors to form a grand league, which was the essence of the old "Universitas". Hungarian CALG 5/03.41 Bezzegh Tamás to ALG1959/0203 Tamás has not written to ALG for fifteen years. Still he has nice memories of the Premontre Order where he lived and studied under ALG's guidance. Now he lives in Switzerland teaching biology and in the meanwhile helping the Union of Free Hungarian Students that was established after the 1956 revolution. The French government would match the funds for a westernized rest center for the Hungarian university students if they would raise the rest of the money. Tamás asks ALG to help the Unioun by offering his ideas and connections and by intercedeing for them to attain this great cause and to build the center. Hungarian CALG 5/03.42 Balogh Elemér to ALG1958/1119 Elemér sends information about the Hungarian Ball in New York and asks ALG, its patron, to give him a notice of his arrival. Hungarian CALG 5/03.43 Papp László to ALG1958/0421 László would be obliged if ALG would accept the offer to be honorary member of the Association of Hungarian Students in the U.S.. He also invites ALG to give a lecture at their upcoming symposium and to participate thereafter in the panel discussion. Hungarian CALG 5/03.44 Dr. Acsay László to ALG1957/0812 László encloses the article by Vladár Ervin and informs ALG about the events. He invites ALG to visit him in New York at the Hungarian National Council. Hungarian CALG 5/03.45 Géza to ALG1957/0115 Géza is one of the six Hungarian students who attend the Physical Education Department at Bard College. They ask ALG to help them get a scholarship at Notre Dame and beg pardon for the nuisance this note might have caused. Hungarian CALG 5/03.46 Kallay Ferenc to ALG1958/0225 Ferenc forwards the C.V.s of two Hungarian students who would like to study at Notre Dame. He asks ALG to intercede for them in the engineering department. He also inquires about organizations in New York that night help these young boys. Ferenc informs ALG about his family in Europe. Hungarian CALG 5/03.47 Vargha Gyula to ALG1958/0220 Gyula is a refugee of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and currently lives in Los Angeles. He works in a grind-plant but would like to find an intellectually challenging job. As a former student of the Premontre Order, having a Law degree, Gyula appeals to ALG to advise him in this matter. Gyula heard it from Prof. Kumorovitz and Prof. Oszwald that the Premontre Order at Gödöllő has recently been burglarized and liquidated. The life of its graduates in Hungary thereafter was very difficult. Gyula, too, among others, was sent to the Siberian lager after WWII. Hungarian CALG 5/03.48 Szarka Gábor to ALG1957/0816 Gábor informs ALG about the great difficulties he has been through in Hungary, including the notorious extermination camp at Recsk. He fled the country in November 1956. Now he lives and works in Hamburg, Germany, but wishes to emigrate to the United States. He requests ALG to get him in contact with people in Washington who might help him get a visa. Gábor heard that people immigrate to the U.S. through the Private Bill. He was surprised that the Free Europe Committee refused his services when he wanted to work for them as the Hungarian economic expert correspondent. Two years ago Gábor attended the 1955 Class Reunion at Gödöllő and is sorry to note that their former Premontre School and its monastic quarters has been devastated so much that it was unrecognizable. He sends information about his professors. Gábor knew of ALG's address through the Columbia University's reserach group working in Germany. Hungarian CALG 5/03.49 Julius Bulyovszky to ALG1957/0428 As Julius applies to several Catholic colleges, he would like to attach ALG's recommendation to his application file. He asks ALG to send three copies of his reference. He thanks ALG for his former recommendation as well. Hungarian CALG 5/03.50 Szesztay Katherine (Katalin) to ALG1957/1128 Having left Hungary after the 1956 war of independence, Katalin starts a new life in New York. Her professors at the University of Budapest, ALG's Alma Mater, were still teaching her in 1949, but were all fired for political reasons in 1950. Prof. Kumorovitz, ALG's confrere and housemate in Budapest, tought her the science of print and sealing in the School of Archives. She asks ALG to let her know about the various opportunities, if any, where she might get a job. She has been a teacher and an archivist back in Hungary, however she refused time and time again to collaborate with the communists in teaching and research. She was degraded in her job because of this. Katalin and her family are ready to move wherever she could find a challenging job opportunity. Hungarian CALG 5/03.51 Tóth Andrew to ALG1957/0610 ALthough he left the St. Michael's College at the end of April, he was able to receive ALG's kind note. He is glad that ALG is solicitous about his fortune in the United States. He plans to go to Colgate University, but he has not heard from them yet. Currently Andrew works on a farm with another Hungarian student. He thanks ALG for his support. Hungarian CALG 5/03.52 Tóth Andrew to ALG1957/0402 Andrew reminds ALG of the times when in Hungary they both took the train from Gödöllő to Pécs to visited their parents. Because of his involvement in the 1956 revolution he suddenly had to leave Hungary without even saying goodby to his parents. Now he, together with hundred other fellow countrymen, are in the United States studying English. Andrew wonders if ALG would help him to get admission to Notre Dame in the Department of Art History. Hungarian CALG 5/03.53 Tóth Andrew to ALG1957/0911 As ALG and Andrew parted, Andrew immediately contacted Mrs. Pásztory in New York, who gave him lots of practical advice. At the college he attends, he is the only white student. He also gives lots of interviews to local area newspapers. As he promised to ALG, Andrew paid his duty to the Catholic priest of his college, who is only white person on the campus. He thanks ALG for his effort in helping him. Hungarian CALG 5/03.54 Pásztory Katalin to ALG1957/0917 Katalin thanks ALG for the Hutiray book. Lately she talked to Tóth Andrew on the phone and thinks that he is a smart and neat boy. The News in New York run an article on him. She sends information about the historian Vesenyi. Hungarian CALG 5/03.55 Várady Lajos to ALG1957/0603 Lajos thanks ALG for his kind words and his effort to help him. Since they cannot leave the camp in Yugoslavia, he couldn't go to the Canadians. Last month he received the ticket to Detroit, U.S., but he is not allowed to travel because he doesn't have a visa. He tried to sign up to be a labourer in Belgium, however, due to an injury in his arm, he wasn't taken away. The whole situation is hopeless. Hungarian CALG 5/03.56 Várady Lajos to ALG1957/0801 Lajos is glad to note that he reached the land of free. After being beaten up with batons and confined in dark cells, he now is in Belgium. He was among the thirty lucky students chosen by the Belgian committee and taken to a priestly college in Visé. Lajos will probably be sent to study economics and international relations at the University of Louvain. He thanks ALG for encouraging him and helping his case when he was so unhopeful. Hungarian CALG 5/03.57 Szabó Gyula to ALG1957/0601 Lately Gyula has been very ill staying in hopsitals at all times. In Budapest, Hungary, his disability pension is very small and he depends on foreign supplies. He therefore asks ALG to forward his address to a relief organizations or friendly society in America to receive packages and subsidy. Hungarian CALG 5/03.58 Bolváry Jenő to ALG1957/0420 When they personally met in Toronto the first time after 17 years, Jenő was overcome by ALG's kindness and humanity. He recollected when ALG was teaching him at the Premontré School. He is sorry if he offended ALG with his behavior in Toronto. Despite ALG's kind inquiry about his life, he then could not concentrate on his thoughts to explain his past. He writes now to beg pardon and to candidly tell the story of his life. Soon he will write to Ottó as well. Hungarian CALG 5/03.59 Jellachich László to ALG1957/0630 László writes on behalf of the young student Váradi Lajos, who is a relative of his from Yugoslavia. He asks ALG to support Lajos, both morally and financially, because the situation of Hungarians there is unbearable. Unfortunately the U.S. quota for Yugoslavian refugees is full so Lajos's plans fell through. Hungarian CALG 5/04 Hungary and Hungarians1953-1993 CALG 5/04.01 Iván to ALG1957/0510 Iván thanks ALG for his note written in a concise manner. He knows that the solution to the problem is not easy. But Iván asks ALG to orient himself only in the Catholic area. He attaches a list of his original works that might be in the center of interest. It is not desirable to turn to the premised agency. He thanks ALG for his help. Hungarian CALG 5/04.02 Kovách József to ALG1957/0424 József was a 15 year old student of ALG when the Russians occupied Gödöllo= in 1944 and he had to stop his studies. József is a graduate of the French College of the Canons of Premontre in Hungary.He tells the story of his life, mentioning 15 years spent in a Siberian lager. He was inflicted a punishment of 15 years in deathcamp for he was 15 then, but he was innocent. He is a refugee in the United States now and is studying English at Elmhurst College. The World University Services is making the arrangements for his stipened. He asks ALG to help him continue his studies after so many years. He wishes to get accepted to a university to study languages. Hungarian CALG 5/04.03 Balogh Ferenc to ALG1957/0505 As a former student of ALG, Ferenc asks ALG to help him find a job in Canada. He is a 1956 refugee staying in a camp together with many other Hungarians. He is willing to work anything just to earn some money. Back then it was ALG who instilled the love for French literature in him. He is a graduate of the French College of the Canons of Premontre in Hungary. Ferenc is proud of his former Catholic professors. Hungarian CALG 5/04.04 Goy András to ALG1957/0405 András sends information concerning his visit to Lajti Lajos in Paris. Lajos mentioned ALG's acquaintance, Kertész István, as the person who could expedite his emigrant visa status in France. András wishes to emigrate to the United States and asks ALG to help his cause. Mrs. Kriesfalussy sends her regards. Hungarian CALG 5/04.05 Váradi Lajos to ALG1957/0407 Lajos begs pardon for again asking ALG for his help. But he is in a desparate situation and has no other choice. He would be obliged if ALG would intercede for him at the Belgian and Canadian embassy to procure a personal visa. As of now, the United States does not accept Hungarian refugees. Therefore he needs the personal visa to leave Yugoslavia. He hopes that ALG understands that he is in dire distress and helps him to eventually get to America. Hungarian CALG 5/04.06 Irmus, Váradi Lajosné, to ALG1957/0409 Irmus begs pardon for her delay in writing. She thanks ALG for the letter, but his son did not receive his. His son, Lajos, sends the message through her that he is not able to respond as he doesn't have the money for postage. She asks ALG to intervene at the US embassy in Belgrade for Lajos to be included in the first transport of refugees to the US. The president asked Congress to vote on a 1000 person quota. Any time the Hungarian refugee camp will be closed down and Lajos will be sent back to Hungary. She asks ALG's advice concerning the possibilities to emigrate. She wishes happy Eastern. Hungarian CALG 5/04.07 Bodnár József to ALG1957/0530 József is sorry to disturb ALG with his letter despite that they don't know each other personally. He asks ALG to help him get a job teaching classical languages. He is a Hungarian refugee. József fled the Russian occupation of Hungary in 1944. Now he hopes to find a more challenging job where he could use use his degrees and language skills. Hungarian CALG 5/04.08 Goy András to ALG1957/0425 Since it is difficult for a refugee to achieve his dreams in France, András wishes to leave France for the United States. He asks ALG to refer him to Mr. Van Degma in New York, who can help him getting a job. Hungarian CALG 5/04.09 Larrovszky Károly to ALG1957/0508 Father Heyden informed Károly about his appointment as Assistant Professor at Georgetown University. Károly thanks ALG for pioneering this opportunity for him. But the two references ALG mentioned in his note to Father Heyden, Father Borbély and Father Tuerko, do not know his academic career very well and Károly doesn't know what to do. He is sad that ALG didn't call him the last time he visited Washington. Hungarian CALG 5/04.10 Galambos István to ALG1957/0415 István informs ALG about his life after he graduated from the French College of the Canons of Premontre in Hungary. He and his family have recently emigrated to Canada and he is now looking for a job. István supposes that ALG receives a whole lot of letters from Hungarian refugees these days. However, as a former student of ALG, he asks ALG to help him get a job -- any janitor or maintenance work -- so he can provide food for his family. He has a pharmacist degree. He sends information about other Canons of Premontre professors who, including Fényi Ottó, are currently doing unskilled labor. Hungarian CALG 5/04.11 Békési Istán to ALG1957/0404 Istán writes on behalf of Andre Toth. He asks ALG to help this young Catholic man get a scholarship at the University of Notre Dame. There are 102 Hungarian students studying English at St. Michael's College and Istán is there to help them get scholarships. There are many scholarships awarded to refugees and there are Hungarian's already at Fordham and Fairfield. Hungarian CALG 5/04.12 Váradi Lajos to ALG1957/0330 Lajos sends inforamtion about an acquaintance of his who got a parolee visa in the United States in ten days. The person who made arrangements for the entry visa was Mr. James Walton. Lajos asks ALG to intercede for him at Mr. Walton. Should the visa procurement fail, ALG is to support Lajos financially in his plan B. Hungarian CALG 5/04.13 Tőkés Rudolf to ALG1957/0402 His professor, Kerényi Olaf, has authorized Rudolf to write a note to ALG, nevertheless he is unfamiliar to him. Since Rudolf already has a two-year schoalrship at Fordham University, he asks ALG to help his Hungarian friend to obtain a scholarship. Hungarian CALG 5/04.14 Kerényi Olaf to ALG1957/0325 Olaf, from Brazil, thanks ALG for the material that he immediately forwarded to Dr. Ecsődi János. Now he writes in behalf of his former student Tőkés Rudolf, who is a refugee of the Hungarian revolution and fled to America. His professor, Olofson Placid, has referred him to Olaf asking him for help. Olaf asks ALG if some arrangement can be made for Rudolf to study in the United States. Hungarian CALG 5/04.15 ALG to Canon Dr. Marina Gyula1959/0530 ALG is sad that Msgr. Szabó's proposition fell through. The Hungarian Teachers' Society disregarded ALG's scientific brainchild as well. Therefore, he asks Gyula, time and again, to withraw his name from any of the Society's correspondence. Should the Hungarian CatholicLeague and the Hungarian Teachers' Society endorse a more scientifically oriented team, ALG is to support their efforst again. Hungarian CALG 5/04.16 Dr. Marina Gyula to ALG1959/0406 Gyula and the members of the Executive Committee agree with ALG in launching an English language Hungarian cultural magazine. At their meeting in June they will decide who will manage it. The Hungarian Academy of Sciences, projected by ALG, will have to organized separately from the Hungarian Catholic League, but the League will endorse its programms. Hungarian CALG 5/04.17 Dr. Marina Gyula to ALG1959/0502 Gyula, the president of the Executive Committee, invites ALG to the upcoming gathering taking place in June in West Point, New York. Hungarian professors who teach at American universities are invited to this event. Gyula sends information about the details of the meeting and hopes that ALG will attend. Hungarian CALG 5/04.18 Dr. Marina Gyula to ALG1959/0220 At their meeting at Gyula's house, the memebers of the Executive Committee decided to expand: unanimously decided to elect ALG. The plans of a Hungarian Cultural initiative are taking shape. Gyula hopes that ALG will accept the offer to be part of the Executive Committee of the American Hungarian Academy of Arts and Sciences. Hungarian CALG 5/04.19 Dr. Marina Gyula to ALG1959/0302 Gyula encloses the handout of the preliminary orientation from the meeting held in January. The Academy plans to meet again in June. Gyula asks ALG to look through the list of the invited guests, who are all university professors, and make suggestions whom to invite. Based on ALG's previous advice, they changed their name from Association to "Academy". Hungarian CALG 5/04.20 Dr. Marina Gyula to ALG1959/0318 Lately Gyula has met several professors and they all agree with ALG in launching a news-information Bulletin serving the Hungarian Cultural initiative. He asks ALG to enlighten them as to the details of this project and send his ideas as soon as possible. He informs ALG about the plans of the June meeting. Hungarian CALG 5/04.21 Balogh Elemér to ALG1958/0908 Elemér thanks ALG the letter he sent from Paris. The ministers of Hungarian Catholic League are not the American carrier of Hungarian science, or the Hungarian culture in general, therefore there is a need for a separate delegation to promote the study of Hungarian traditions and culture. Elemér looks forward to see ALG in November. Hungarian CALG 5/04.22 Tarnóczy Ádám to ALG1958/1128 Ádám is happy to note that the package has been sent off to the Domonkos family, as ALG requested. The Hungarian Catholic League of America is doing better financially since Msgr. Szabó is the new president. 30.000 dollars were sent to Hungary for mass purposes. The continuing immigration is becoming a problem for Ádám as he has difficulties housing and finding jobs for new Hungarians. But this is why the Government pays him. Ádám asks ALG to help find genitorial, or other clerical, jobs at Notre Dame for the refugees. Hungarian CALG 5/04.23 Report sent to the "Catholic Sunday" The Hungarian Catholic League of America is preparing a cultural platform. Until now the League was busy supporting immigration, the cause of refugees, and donations to priests in Hungary. Now is time to initiate cultural issues targeting the ever increasing Hungarian youth population in America. Therefore the League prepares extended cultural guidelines, implemented in the summer, including Hungarian professors at American universities. They accept contributions through the Hungarian Charity Fund. Hungarian CALG 5/04.24 Balogh Elemér to ALG1958/0723 Elemér encloses a draft of the proposition called Cardinal Mindszenty Center. Msgr. Szabó agrees with him that ALG's cooperation to finalize the C.M.C. project is crucial. This is only a preliminary draft and Elemér asks ALG to conceive and implement the final version of the project. ALG is the best among the deputies of Hungarian intellectual life in America. The League has already sent a petition to the Archbishop Spellmann. Elemér makes observations about the C.M.C. initiative. He wants to meet ALG in New York this summer to discuss the matter in person. Hungarian CALG 5/04.25 Memorandum about the Cardinal Mindszenty Center The Hungarian Cultural Home of America. Raughly $500.000 would be earmarked for the initial investments. The Hungarian Catholic League of America asked Archbishop Spellmann to approve of a nationwide fundraising. Hungarian CALG 5/04.26 Tarnóczy Ádám to ALG1956/0806 Ádám wishes that ALG would take part in organizing the festivities held in New York in the Fall. As ALG suggested, a chime of bells at noon will be the center of attraction of this event. He hopes that ALG will continue to support them with his active support and contribution. Hungarian CALG 5/04.27 Dr. Acsay László to ALG1956/0727 László thanks ALG for his indication of the June 26th issue of the Toronto Telegram. He already sent the clippings to their Canadian representative asking him to protest in the spirit ALG proposed in his letter. Hungarian CALG 5/04.28 Dr. Bachkai Béla to ALG1956/0214 Béla would be obliged if ALG would compile and send a bibliography for their exhibit in the Library of Congress. The Hungarian exhibit will celebrate the victory of Nándorfehérvár by displaying a collection of medieval books and materials. Béla thinks that ALG is the finest scholar of the Middle Ages. Hungarian CALG 5/04.29 Varga Béla to ALG1956/0203 Béla thanks ALG for his congratulation on the occasion of his appointment to Domestic Prelate by His Holiness Pope Pius II. He asks ALG to visit him again in New York. Béla intends to invite ALG for lunch so that ALG can share his experience and his inside information with him that he has gathered from travelling around the world. Béla needs more information to use at his demanding job as the president of the Hungarian National Council. He has good memories of the times when they often met in Budapest, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 5/04.30 Reverend Kiss Julius Gyula to ALG1955/1112 Gyula invites ALG to act as sponsor of the January 7th ball of the Hungarian Catholic League. The cause of the ball is to help young Hungarian refugees. Hungarian CALG 5/04.31 Dr. Jankovits Antal to ALG1955/0524 Antal is sorry for asking ALG to send medication to him and his wife both. ALG should also send, without any personal strain, unsolicited gift parcels to his old friends, such as Possonyi László, who don't have a regular job. He recently changed his family name to Ijjas and sends ALG his address. Antal asks ALG to comment on his short stories that have appeared for the last four years in Vigilia, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 5/04.32 Gyula to ALG1954/1228 Although they received the news that ALG will not attend the ball, Gyula posteriorly asks ALG again, to attend the graceful ceremony together with his canonical pomp and panoply in order to make this event successful. Hungarian CALG 5/04.33 Tarnóczy Ádám to ALG1954/0618 Ádám is sorry for not writing sooner but he was sick with his eyes. He agrees with ALG concerning the mistakes the paper The Catholic News has made. But, out of integrity, Ádám will continue to work there further. The matter of the Hungarian Catholic League is developing nicely. More and more priests join the League and do worthwile jobs. Hungarian CALG 5/04.34 Varga Béla to ALG1955/1114 Béla thanks ALG for the copy of the Figar-clipping. It brought back memories of old "militant" times. Béla congratulates ALG for his success in Paris. Hungarian CALG 5/04.35 Tarnóczy Ádám to ALG1954/1021 At the invitation of Msgr. Szabó, Ádám will visit South Bend on November 2nd. He will take participate in the meeting of the priests. Since Ádám will probably convey the Catholic League's invitation to ALG, Ádám would appreciate it if ALG would meet him then. He will contact him by phone. Hungarian CALG 5/04.36 Varga Béla to ALG1954/0706 Béla thanks ALG for his letter of June 17th. As ALG requested, Béla made arrangements with the official representatives of the Hungarian National Council in Toronto to protest against the fraudulent article that had appeared in the "Toronto Daily Sun".

In 1518, Gosztonyi was involved in a lawsuit concerning prebendal rights and obligations. This was pre-ordained by the King Louis II and the findings were reported to Bakóc Tamás, the patriarch of Venice and archbishop of Esztergom, who is to be the judge in this case.

Hungarian CALG 5/08.02 1975/1015 Invitation to the tenth general assembly of the Hungarian Árpád Academy in Cleveland. Hungarian CALG 5/08.03 ALG's speech on the importance of old Academies in general and on the formation of the new Hungarian Árpád Academy. His speech's topic is the nature of an Academy. It has to do with, among others, the notion of "Sodalitas"; the idea of seeking pure Platonic knowledge; scientific friendly clubs; the general Hungarian disposition of happiness. For those intellectuals who will not be elected into the Academy, ALG furnishes the proverb: Choose your enemies, but let your friends choose you. The Academy accepts women as their members, the many descendants of Dukai Takács Judit. Hungarian CALG 5/08.04 Baron János Uray to ALG1966/1108 János sends his regards to ALG after not seeing him for a long time. He is a Gödöllo= graduate now living in Ohio. János inquires about other classmates who left Hungary and live in Toronto or in Europe. He heard that ALG will visit Cleveland soon. He would like to meet and chat with ALG upon his visit. His wife sends her regards. Hungarian CALG 5/08.05 Nádas Tamás to ALG1966/1102 As they were putting together the program of the event, the founders decided to have a preliminary meeting where they will elect the president, out of reverence ALG, and proclaim the Academy to be established. He thanks ALG for his letter and asks him to arrive sooner to be able to attend the meeting and the panel discussion in the morning. ALG's speech at the banquet should not last longer than 12 minutes. Hungarian CALG 5/08.06 Nádas Tamás to ALG1966/1003 Tamás is happy to hear that ALG will attend the banquet and will address the audience before dinner. All members agree that ALG should be the president of Árpád Academy. ALG should bring his gold-medal with him so they can solemnly hand it over to him at the ball. Hungarian CALG 5/08.07 Nádas Tamás to ALG and to all Hungarian Guests1966/1001 He sends information concerning the plans of the 6th Hungarian Meeting held on Thanksgiving weekend in Cleveland. The Hungarian Association sends out the program of this friendly meeting in advance so that people can plan ahead. Tamás is happy to note that the "Chronicles", containing the material discussed at previous meetings and debates about the Hungarian fate, has just been published and costs $4. Hungarian CALG 5/08.08 Nádas Tamás to ALG1966/0921 After sending his 09/13 letter to ALG, Tamás met with the members of the organizing committee. Everyone's decided opinion was that ALG should be the president of the Árpád Academy. Should ALG decide to attend the banquet, he is to give his talk during the opening ceremony as president. Tamás hopes that ALG will respond soon. Hungarian CALG 5/08.09 Nádas Tamás to ALG1966/0913 Tamás thanks ALG for his letter and for his C.V. and is glad that ALG accepted his membership nomination. The organizing committeee of the 6th Hungarian Meeting is happy to hear that ALG will attend, the first time, the ceremony and also that he will give a speech. It will be held on Thanksgiving weekend in Cleveland. The speech before dinner should be no longer than 12 minutes. Tamás wishes that ALG will really take part in this weekend-long Hungarian ceremony. Hungarian CALG 5/08.10 Invitation to the 6th Hungarian Assembly in Cleveland, 1966, November 25-27.

He just had the chance to consult with Professor Patzelt. Endre encloses the letter that Professor Patzelt received from the American Cultural Attaché. Endre thinks that Professor Patzelt should have sent his letter directly to ALG and not to the American embassy. Although Professor Patzelt was willing to do what Endre and ALG asked him to do, he did not succeed in achieveing any positiv outcome. Endre is particularly sorry because ALG's talk would have been an opportunity for them to get-together. He asks ALG about his summer plans as Endre would like to visit him in Europe somewhere. They have many things to talk over, such as the Academy. Hungarian CALG 6/08.02 Ivánka Endre to ALG1958/0105 As soon as Endre received ALG's letter, he immediately contacted Prof. Erna Patzelt. She is the most privy person to invite ALG to give a talk at the Vienna University. She also has connections with the American embassy. Endre thinks that ALG should send few of his essays directly to her with a note suggesting an invitation. Endre will attend conferences in München and Löwen and asks if ALG will be there as well. He agrees with ALG that the Hungarian Catholic Academy is not doing a good job as it shows no sign of life. Should they meet in Europe this summer, ALG and Endre is to discuss the case of the Pázmány Academy. Endre sends the plans of a new Academy. Hungarian CALG 6/09 Trip: Paris (Director's Trip). Rome.

Hungarian CALG 6/09.02 Dr. Kohári József to ALG1955/0506 József thanks ALG for his letter. Out of the dates ALG suggested June 4th works best. He will announce ALG's visit and informal talk in the Hungarian House of London. József looks forward to ALG's visit. Hungarian CALG 6/09.03 Dr. Kohári József to ALG1955/0427 If ALG's stay in England is not too brief, ALG could visit London. József sends a note to invite ALG to meet the Hungarian Catholic Circle of London and to give a speech. József asks ALG to respond to the invitation as soon as he can. He hopes to see ALG soon. Hungarian CALG 6/09.04 Szalay to ALG1954/1129 Szalay notes that ALG will receive good and cheap accommodation at the Eudists in Paris, who stay in the XIV. district. ALG should contact Rezek to help him in making the arrangements. He recently took part in the meeting of the International Conference. Many people congratulated him for his fantastic talk from last Winter. Szalay explained them that it was ALG lecturing, not him. He agrees with ALG that it is difficult acting for the common good these days as it doesn't serve the cause any more.

He is happy to note that under the presidency of György the Hungarian Commission of the International Commission for the History of Universities is doing az excellent work. Lately ALG did research in the Library of Congress on a German typographer living in Paris, Berchtoldus Rembolt. ALG will be visiting György in Budapest in the summer, after the meeting of the Paris Academy. He sends his regards to Mrs. Székely. Hungarian CALG 6/24.02 Dr. Székely György to ALG1988/0404 György is glad to hear that ALG will soon be visiting them. They will meet in Márta's cottage in the mountains. He hopes that ALG's Canadian trip was successful. Hungarian CALG 6/24.03 ALG to Dr. Székely György1988/0527 ALG sends the plans of his trip to Budapest, Hungary. He will be visiting Budapest on 30th of August. He wishes to stay again in Hotel Intercontinental, but it costs $125 a day. ALG sends his regards to Márta and his congratulations to György for the Pázmány-ceremony. He looks forward to seeing them soon. Hungarian CALG 6/24.04 ALG to Dr. Székely György1988/0425 ALG thanks György for his previous two letters with the interesting insets in them. Thanks to the Russian delegate, the meeting had to be held in English. But ALG worries if people understood everything. Unfortunately the exchange rate of the dollar is very low and tickets are expensive. Thus ALG needs to fly to Budapest at the end of August. ALG sends information concerning his reserach on "Aventinus" and he thanks György for commemorating his small book. He sends his respects to Márta. Hungarian CALG 6/24.05 Dr. Székely György to ALG1988/0324 György thanks ALG for his many postcards he sent from South America. Father Maccarrone attended the Conference of the Catholic Church History and delivered the Pope's message, but not in Latin but in Italian. György was glad to find among his forgotten library books a 1944 opusculum written by ALG. ALG was already writing a small masterpiece back then on Hungarian King-Saints. He encloses inserts and reviews about various events, including the uproar about publishing the History of Transylvania. He looks forward to meet ALG in the summer. Hungarian CALG 6/24.06 Dr. Székely György to ALG1988/0226 György thanks ALG for all his trouble concerning György's presidency in the Hungarian Subcommission. Due to ALG's efforts, György managed to find out the general secretary's address. He sends information about his academic research, publications, and lectures. The Hungarian Academy of Sciences accepted ALG's visit and talk. Should they send the message out, ALG is to receive reimbursement, too, at the end of August. Also a panel discussion will be organized by the Academy for this special occasion. Since ALG and Domonkos Laci need interesting reading material, György signed them up to the Museum's list. Hungarian CALG 6/24.07 Dr. Székely György to ALG1987/0608 While ALG attended the History of the Universities conference in Chechoslovakia, György has organized an art exhibition consisting of King Zsigmond's records and engrossments. Many countries contributed and sent their artifacts in to Budapest to this festive occasion. ALG is indeed the father of a separate school of taught. Gieysztor cites ALG a lot in his new "Symbolae" mentioning ALG's armorial many times. Today Gieysztor expects the visit of the Pope. Hungarian CALG 6/24.08 ALG to Dr. Székely György1988/0204 ALG encloses the letter he sent to the General Secretary affirming György's election as Hungary's representative of the International Committe. He asks György to respond to Ridder Symeons concerning his acceptance, in any of the five languages he fluently speaks and is also accepted by the International Committee of Historical Sciecnes. Since he did not receive funding for the trip, ALG will delegate Prof. Domonkos László to the Siena meeting. However ALG plans to visit Hungary at the end of the summer because his airfair will be reimbursed by the Americans. ALG is busy finishing two works: one for Sorbonne and the other his article of the Dictionary of Middle Ages before his trip to Budapest, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 6/24.09 ALG to Dr. Székely György1987/0925 ALG thanks György for his attention in sending the book that ALG used almost 50 years ago with the picture ID in it. ALG nostagically read his old notes, decipherable back then, on the pages of the book. In September, ALG visited Munchen, Germany, where he met with Gabriel Silagi, who is a great admirer of György. He still speaks Hungarian. Gabriel Silagi, like György and ALG, is the "lucky or unlucky" victim of the Nazis. ALG thinks that György is a scholar in grain, who has no time to solve administrative problems. ALG plans to visit Budapest in Spring while his student, Domonkos László, will be there. Then he would like to greet the artist Fábián Márta as well. In Prague, ALG was treated much better than in Budapest's Duna Hotel for he started to speak in Hungarian, which in turn degraded him to a lower outlandish category. Hungarian CALG 6/24.10 Székely György to ALG1987/0916 György is now professor at Eötvös University, located in the old parochial building. He is the head of the Middle Ages Department at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. He invites ALG to visit his department one day as he put out the portraits of their former professors. He informs ALG about his visitors, historians, who arrive from Italy and other Western countries. György thanks ALG for the books and the reading material. Recently Dr. Kozma Béla, assistant professor at the university, found a book on the shelf of the University Library, containing ALG's note. György sends this to ALG to keep it as a small remembrance of the old time. He is sorry not to mention Rácz Aladár earlier, who's wife attended Márta's performance. György hopes that his study about Hungarian codices and about the more general trends of Hungarian civilization, will be published this year. Hungarian CALG 6/24.11 Székely György to ALG1987/0613 György sends information about colleagues in their field and conferences he lately attended. Smahel will give an invited talk at the Zsigmond-conference at Budapest. György is sorry that ALG could not attend the Spoleto-conference, where he lectured on Roman continuity again. The Ukranian Pritsak, too, attended the conference from the United States, who is at Harvard now. He is a great orientalist with encyclopedic knowledge of Chinese and Turkic sources. György looks forward to ALG's upcoming visit in Budapest, when he will have more time to show around ALG the country. Hungarian CALG 6/24.12 Székely György to ALG1987/0119 The Hungarian Subcommission of the History of Universities, led by György, visited Gödöllő last week as part of their special meeting. He tried to locate ALG's old refectory in the building. Now the old Premontre School's building houses the Agrarian University. Not long ago, the University welcomed the Soviet leader's, Gorbacsov's, visit. At the end of the meeting, György mentioned his visit to ALG, having the chance to see ALG's microfilm and library collection. His speech has made a hit. György inquires about ALG's plans to visit Prague. Hungarian CALG 6/24.13 ALG to Székely György1987/0312 ALG thanks György for the portraits of the great Hungarian Kings that were sealed exactly on ALG's birthday. He also thanks György for his greetings from Leningrad and Moscow, Soviet Union. ALG was happy to find out from György's letter that the Róna statue, depicting King Kálmán of Halicsi, is still enshrining the Premontré spirit. Should ALG receive funding from the International Research and Exchange, he is to visit Gödöllő, together with György, again. ALG would be obliged if György would sign the invitation for the paparwork. He also notes that he has sent a copy of his book to Klaniczay and a copy to his library as well. Hungarian CALG 6/24.14 Székely György to ALG1986/0625 Last week György made plans to visit Bloomington, New York, taking part in the earlier mentioned Rennaisance conference. Ránki György, the organizer, would like to invite ALG as well as Prof. Domonkos to the conference. György wishes that he could visit ALG at Notre Dame. He asks ALG to send instructions concerning an invited talk. He already heralded ALG's visit in Budapest, both at the University and in the Archives. Unfortunately, he could not specify the date. He wonders if ALG plans his trip to Budapest before or after being Wienna. Hungarian CALG 6/24.15 Székely György to Ránki György1986/0625 György officially notifies his colleague about his plans to attend the Rennaisance conference in Bloomington, sends the topic of his talk, and lays out the project to visit ALG at Notre Dame thereafter. He asks him to make the necessary travel arrangements. Hungarian CALG 6/24.16 Antall József to ALG1986/0112 József thanks ALG for his picture from Stuttgart, Germany. He sends information about the ambiguous role the Working Committee on the History of Higher Education has had in the past. Now it belongs to the Hungarian Academy of Scieces. József is happy to note that he met with a former French professor at Gödöllő, who is now doing research in Paris on Körösi Csoma Sándor. Antall József cites ALG many times especially when talking about ALG's sagacity of the "Ringlispill". Hungarian CALG 6/24.17 Sinkovics István to ALG1985/0625 István intended to write sooner but was in Sopron, Hungary. He is sorry to note that because of his ill health he will not attend the meeting of the International Committee of History of Universities. Unfortunately, since Antall József and Szögi László have already committed themselves to give talks in Stuttgart, there is no chance for another talk. István sends information concerning the ceremony held for the 350 year anniversary of the existence of the Eötvös Lóránd University. Hungarian CALG 6/24.18 Invitation to the University's 350th Anniversary Featured a course of lectures, including the talk given by adjunct professor Szögi László. Hungarian CALG 6/24.19 Invitation to the meeting in remembrance of Zsámboky János Hungarian CALG 6/24.20 Dr. Antall József to ALG1985/0716 József thanks ALG for his letter that he wrote in Hungarian. He will be in Stuttgart on 24th of August, together with Szögi László, and will be staying in Hotel Rieker. József would be happy if ALG would meet him there, if his busy schedule permits him to do so. Hungarian CALG 6/24.21 Székely György to ALG1985/0717 György thanks ALG for his plans concerning his visit to Budapest and the Stuttgart conference. He informs ALG about the organizational problems of the congress, and looks forward to meet ALG at the end of September. He will then explain ALG the changes and promotions that are taking place at the Hungarian Acedemy of Sciences. Hungarian CALG 6/24.22 ALG to Székely György1985/0306 ALG thanks György for his February 22nd letter. He sends his congratulations for György's presentation, parts of which ALG would like to include in his inaugural speech. He also congratulates Marta for her concert. ALG plans to visit Budapest, Hungary, on September 26th for the ceremony of the University of Budapest. Should Notre Dame be included in this event, ALG is to represent the university. Therefore, he sends Very Reverend Dr. Dr. h.c. pluribus Theodore M. Hesburgh C.S.C.'s address. He also intends to attend the initiation ceremonies held for the honorary doctors' degrees. ALG wishes to meet György both in Stuttgart and in Budapest and sends his regards to Marta. Footnote: ALG will send the manuscript of his new book "Hungarian Students in Paris" on May 1st for Roth Edith's consideration and asks him to inform Edith about this. Hungarian CALG 6/24.23 Székely György to ALG1985/0222 At last, this year brings the two opportunities for György and ALG to meet: the jubilee of the Budapest University and the International Historians Congress. György encloses the embellished pamphlet detailing the several events of the jubilee for ALG. He hopes that ALG will attend the ceremonies. He asks ALG if he should insist with Roth Edith to proceed with the publishing of ALG's book. The release would be in due time for the jubilee. Recently György lectured in Hamburg, noticing that only a few scholars speak Latin. Hungarian CALG 6/24.24 Havasi Zoltán, Hanák Tibor, and Dr. Szabó Zoltán to ALG1984/0125 They invite ALG to take part in a symposium, held in the summer of 1984 in Budapest, investigating the findings and research data available to scholars and institutions, in Hungary as well as abroad, about the Hungarian diaspora. ALG is to inform them as soon as possible about his intention to attend and/or present a paper. Hungarian CALG 6/24.25 Sinkovics István to ALG1984/0529 István hopes that the intrigue concerning the program at Stuttgart that ALG mentioned will get resolved soon. He encloses a short article that he wrote about the history of Hungarian universities. Hungarian CALG 6/24.26 Székely György to ALG1983/0222 The leadership of Professor Sinkovics is strict and prudent, therefore György thinks that this year will decide the fate of the Budapest University. He informs ALG about the archeological and historical projects he works on both at the Museum and at the University. ALG's honorary membership nomination in the Academy is going in the right directions. The final decision will be made in May. Sinkovics selected two scholars to deliver communications at the Stuttgart congress: one from the faculty of arts and letters and a historian. Hungarian CALG 6/24.27 Sinkovics István to ALG1982/1015 After István had arrived home from the conference from Leipzig, Germany, he came across a front page article about ALG in the "New Man". He sends it to ALG. He was happy to see the workings of the Committee that is under ALG's leadership. Should ALG visit Hungary next time, he is to visit István for an paprika-omlette dinner party. Hungarian CALG 6/24.28 Székely György to ALG1982/1111 György will make the arrangements for ALG's honorary membership in the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He hopes that ALG will accept this distinction. Hungarian CALG 6/24.29 ALG to Székely György1983/0215 ALG is sorry for not writing sooner but he was busy travelling. ALG thanks György for his hospitality and sends a picture of their visit to Pécs, Hungary. He asks György to send his bibliography and his C.V. so that ALG can nominate him in the Academy. Lopez supports his nomination too. ALG encloses a letter from his nephew, Gabriel Ottó László, who would like to apply for a passport to travel abroad. Should György have some connections, he is to help László. ALG dosn't know anybody, who might be helpful in this regard. Now ALG is busy preparing for the Stuttgart meeting. Although each country can send only two delegates, there are many applicants already. ALG himself will preside the meeting. Hungarian CALG 6/24.30 "Traditions and artifacts at the Eötvös Lóránd University" By Papp József, Budapest, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 6/24.31 Székely György to ALG1982/1025 György thanks ALG and Professor Sinkovics for their postcard and is sorry to hear that the program of the Leipzig conference is quintessential. Hungarian CALG 6/24.32 Invitation to the meeting of the Working Committee of the History of Higher Education1982 Held on November 2nd, 1982, in the Buda Castle of Budapest. The panel meeting is led by Prof.Székely György. Hungarian CALG 6/24.33 ALG to Dr. Szabolcsi Miklós1982/0806 ALG received Miklós' letter and his invitation to give a talk at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Since he is busy attending conferences and lecturing in Europe for the rest of the summer, ALG can lecture at the Academy at the end of September. Should the Academy have a projector, ALG is to show slides about unknown Hungarian students in Paris in the Middle Ages. But ALG can address the Academy without a projector as well. He looks forward to see Miklós again in the Fall. Hungarian CALG 6/24.34 Dr. Szabolcsi Miklós to ALG1982/0714 Based on the Academy's unexpired decision of couple of years ago, Miklós invites ALG again to give a lecture on a freely chosen topic. If he already knows it, ALG is to send the title of his talk. Hungarian CALG 6/24.35 Dr. Márai Sándor to ALG Sándor sends a note concerning his discovery of the remnants of the building of the old University of Pécs. If ALG pays a visit to Hungary again, he is welcome to visit the excavation site. Sándor would also be obliged if ALG would send some reflections or information about this or other medieaval universities to help his research. Hungarian CALG 6/24.36 Sinkovics István to ALG1982/0128 István is glad to hear that they will meet at the conference in Leipzig, Germany. He informs ALG about the XIVth century photos of Hungarian students from Bologna, Italy. Their colleague, Sven Stelling-Michaud, offered him the photocopies and asked him to collaborate with him on the Corpus. István heard that ALG looked over the material, but due to his other engagements, he couldn't finish the identification work. As a consequence, István took the corpus in his own hands. Hungarian CALG 6/24.37 Székely György to ALG1980/0919 György was glad to meet with and talk to ALG at the conference. He has learned the most from ALG' lecture. Since he promptly received all ALG's correspondences, including the one about the election of Sinkovics István into the Commission on Universities, György thinks that ALG has superb administrative skills as well. As the conference on the history of intellectual thought will take place in October, György reads frequently ALG's books on the subject. He hopes to meet ALG in Hungary soon. Hungarian CALG 6/24.38 1980/0526 C.V. of Professor Sinkovics István In 1978 he was commissioned to edit and publish the 350 year history of the Eötvös Lóránd University, Budapest. Hungarian CALG 6/24.39 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1980/0716 Tibor is happy to hear that ALG will attend the conference in Bukarest, Romania, and hopes that they will meet there. He will contact ALG in Hotel Intercontinental on the first days of the conference. Hungarian CALG 6/24.40 ALG to Székely György1980/0715 ALG sends the final program of the Bukarest conference. ALG will arrive to the Hotel Intercontinental on Friday evening in order for them to meet on Saturday. Should György decide to suggest a new Hungarian representative in the International Commission for the History of Universities, he is to ask for a letter of resignation from Professor Kovács and also send a recommendation of the new representative. Hungarian CALG 6/24.41 Székely György to ALG1979/0807 György officially informs ALG of Kovács Endre's retirement from the Commission for the History of Universities. Also he made arrangements for Balázs Éva to give the Hungarian lecture at the conference in proper format. György invites ALG to Budapest either before or after the conference. Hungarian CALG 6/24.42 Csizmadia Andor to ALG1979/1003 Andor thanks ALG for his kind note congratulating him and hopes to meet ALG next year at the Bukarest world congress. Hungarian CALG 6/24.43 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1979/0813 Tibor thanks ALG for his study on Wagner and Stoll, which he read with great curiosity. He is sorry for not meeting ALG in Italy while he was there for a prolonged time. Now Tibor is back in Budapest, and hopes that ALG will pay a visit to Hungary, which is already past due. Hungarian CALG 6/24.44 Székely György to ALG1978/1213 György informs ALG of the events and international conferences he recently attended. He thanks ALG for his note about the Bukarest conference and the Ch. Samaran book, but most importantly he is grateful to ALG for supporting their work. Hungarian CALG 6/24.45 Székely György to ALG1978/0524 György sends the study aids from the archives dealing with the history of the Eötvös Lóránd University. But this research project brings many problems. He thanks ALG for his kind note and for the opportunity he provided for him and other colleagues from Hungary to participate in the world congress. Hungarian CALG 6/24.46 ALG to Székely György1978/1021 ALG is happy to note that György's nominee, Balázs Éva, is on the list of the participants of the conference. Should they change the title of her talk, they are to let ALG know before November 15th. ALG sends information on the format of the lecture. If György has a candidate to suggest for the ballott as representative, he needs let ALG know so he can contact the person before the world congress. In his library, ALG acquired the the first edition of Bonifacius Ceva, Viaticum, published by Vardai Balazs in Paris. This, however, is unavailable even in the Paris National Library. He sends his regards to Klaniczay. Hungarian CALG 6/24.47 Székely György to ALG1978/0914 György begs ALG's forgiveness for being so late in answering but he was busy with preliminary talks and orientation. As a result, they nominated H. Balázs Éva to lecture at the world congress. He would like ALg to include her on the list, if it is not too late. He asks ALG to send more information of the format of her talk. György and his colleagues are still searching for the person to fill in the position of Kovács Endre, who is ill. Hungarian CALG 6/24.48 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1977/0313 ALG's dedicated Várdai Balázs study was forwarded to Tibor from Budapest, Hungary, to his office in Rome, Italy. Tibor was happy to read the great many new data on the subject and wishes to have such a just picture concerning Hungarian humanists who studied in Italy. He sends his Rome address and invites ALG to visit him either in Rome or in Budapest. He is sorry that ALG's planned trip to Hungary last Fall fell through. Tibor thanks ALG that he is so gracious towards him. Hungarian CALG 6/24.49 Ladányi Andor to ALG1976/1011 Andor encloses the first issue of the Research Center of Higher Learning in Pedagogia, together with his other two writings on the topic. Hungarian CALG 6/24.50 Invitation to the Academy's session on the History of Ideas in the Middle Ages1976 Held in October 1976 at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest. Hungarian CALG 6/24.51 Kovács Endre to ALG1976/0326 Székely György asked Endre to inform ALG of the formation of the Working Committee on the History of Higher Education. This institute works under the auspicies of the History Department of the University of Eötvös Lóránd at Budapest. Endre encloses the bibliography of Higher Education after the Liberation and references to the works of Andras Toth, among others. He heard from Székely that ALG intends to visit Hungary in the Fall. He hopes to see ALG then. Hungarian CALG 6/24.52 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1975/0811 Up until last week, Tibor had not been sure if the Hungarian Academy will pay for his trip to San Francisco to attend the Historian Congress or not. He now writes a note that he will be participating. He intends to be present at the meetings of the History of Universities, if they are not in conflict with the Rennaisance meetings, which he is involved with. Once in San Francisco, he will personally report to ALG on lots of things happening in Budapest. He looks forward to see ALG. Hungarian CALG 6/24.53 Kovács Endre to ALG1974/0420 Endre thanks ALG for his kind regard he showed towards him when they were in Brussels, Belgium. He also thanks ALG for the package, including the books. He sends information concerning the candidate Vantuch, a historian from Slovakia, and suggests him for the ballott. Hungarian CALG 6/24.54 Kovács Endre to ALG1973/1215 Endre is glad to note that the Hungarian Academy of Sciences decided to allow his trip to the Brussels conference. It will cover the costs of his airfair and hotel. He asks ALG for help in finding cheap accomodation. He looks forward to see ALG at the conference and to thank him personally for the parcels he sent. Hungarian CALG 6/24.55 ALG to Kovács Endre1973/1221 ALG is happy to hear that Endre will attend this very important meeting in Brussels. He sends advise as to where to find cheap hotels and how to locate the site of the conference. He would be obliged, if Endre would bring along the Árpád-Anjou Correspondences by Makkay-Mezey, no matter what edition. He also asks Endre to inform Novicki again of the meeting.

He sends information concerning the Hungarian branch of the Supreme Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem, including his pilgrimage last year to the Holy Land. He would be obliged if ALG would accept the title of prior of the Canadian Hungarian chapter. Thus ALG could promote the vestry of the Military Order of the Templars. He sends his travel plans and proposes to meet ALG in Madrid, Spain, later, if ALG will miss the meeting in Canada. Hungarian CALG 7/18.02 Dr. Udvardy Tibor to ALG1983/0325 Tibor, together with other Hungarians, will fly to Paris, France, this coming Fall. They intend to promote the Hungarian cause and convince the French to correct the unjustly signed Treaty of Trianon, the peace agreement signed in 1920. He would like to know whether ALG will participate in the ceremonies and whether he can contact the president of the French Academy of Sciences for the sake of the cause. Tibor gives his otherwise confidential phone number to ALG. Hungarian CALG 7/18.03 Dr. Udvardy Tibor to ALG1983/0427 ALG's many honors and his membership in the French Academy prompted Tibor to ask ALG for help. He wishes ALG to contact members of the Academy and other influential political friends in Europe to call attention to the injustice of the Treaty of Trianon. Tibor also invites ALG to address the Hungarian Museum in New York next fall. Hungarian CALG 7/18.04 Dr. Bokor Pál to ALG1978 On the eve of a new era, Pál greets all the members of the ancient Military Order of the Templars. He informs the members of two recent promotions to Excellence. Pál also sends the name of the boardmembers of the Hungarian Priory, as ALG being the Hungarian Bailliff. The members of the order are to support, through various Hungarian institutions abroad, the cultural efforst of The Royal Hungarian St. László Society. Hungarian CALG 7/18.05 Affidavit Having to do with ALG being a C.S.L.S. companion of the Military Order of the Templars de Jerusalem.

Tested and signed by the Hungarian Prior Templar, Frére Pál de Bokor. Hungarian CALG 7/18.07 Dr. Udvardy Tibor to ALG1977/1220 Tibor has just received ALG's brief letter written in English. As the president of the American-Hungarian Bicentennial Commission, Tibor asks ALG to use his connections in the U.S. Senate to obtain a room in the Capitol Building to house the opening ceremonies of the Kováts Historical Society and, consequently, of the equestrian order of the Temple of Jerusalem. This opportunity would launch a great Hungarian new year. Therefore Tibor asks ALG to respond as soon as he can. Hungarian CALG 7/18.08 Széll Sándor to ALG1977/1227 Sándor, now living in Mexico, thanks ALG for his congratulations on the occasion of his new marriage. The day of the marriage ceremony was the day of the patron saint, St. Elisabeth. His wife and he hope that for next year's St. Elisabeth ceremony the Prince and Archduke Habsburg-Lotharing Ottó Károly, who is a direct descendant of St. Elisabeth, will visit them in Mexico. Sándor invites ALG to participate in this event and give a talk on "St. Elisabeth and her era". Before his death, Hungarian Prior Templar, Bokor Pál, designated ALG as Hungarian Bailiff Templar. Thus, this honor prompts ALG to belong to the secret "Counceil Supreme de l'Order", duly assuming the title "Excellence". Hungarian CALG 7/18.09 Press Release On the marriage of Szent-Györgyi Széll Sándor and Alicia Cruces Munoz in Mexico. CALG 7/18.10 Széll Sándor to ALG1969/0423 Sándor sends information on the events the Hungarian Saint László Society plans for the upcoming milenium year. Since the Society does not have enough funding, he asks ALG to order and pay in advance for the Insignia and for the Golden Chain. There are 24 local organizing committees around the world under the auspicies of the of the Society. With ALG's help a Hungarian Memorial Committee of South Bend could be formed under the leadership of a few leading Hungarian and American personalities. Hungarian CALG 7/18.11 Copy of an article having to do with the platform and laws of the Order Societas Sancti Georgii (Order of Saint George) established in 1326 under the Anjou Prince, Hungarian King, Károly Robert. In 1942, when the Royal Hungarian Saint László Society was formed, the board accepted these platforms as mandatory decorum, applying to all members. Hungarian CALG 7/18.12 Dr. Széll Sándor De Duke Et Szent-György, Executive President to ALG1968/0725 Sándor thanks for ALG's letter and the two dollars he sent for printing of the armour stamps. Since 5 Hungarian families did not pay their duties, Sándor thinks it would be best if ALG donate some funds to the Society to help paint Hungarian saints on the windows of the church. Then ALG's name will be carved in the bronze plaque, along with the other four donors. Hungarian CALG 7/18.13 Dr. Széll Sándor, Hungarian Grand Prior in Exile, to ALG1967/0902 As of today, the Regent of the Supreme Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem approved of the board of the Hungarian chapter. According to this, ALG, is the master of ceremonies. The cross of the Chivalry costs $8. Hungarian CALG 7/18.14 Mr. John Grosswald to ALG1968/0310 John thinks that ALG is the Hungarian representative of the Supreme Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem. As they have met several times in Cleveland, he asks ALG to petition his request for membership in this Order with a past. Hungarian CALG 7/19 Gabriel: George Washington Award1975 CALG 7/20 A. L. Gabriel: Foreign Claims1974-1980 CALG 7/20.01 Dr. Rabatin Gyula to ALG1977/0228 Gyula informs ALG that a verdict already has been made concerning the legal action law suit when he visited Pécs, Hungary, in November 1976. According to the verdict there are two people who have legal possession of ALG's former share of the vineyard. ALG is no longer the proprietor. Gyula thinks that ALG should have started the selling of the property much earlier. He rebuts the insinuation that ALG disbelieves the content of Gyula's past letter, in which he laid the facts before ALG. Should ALG have tried to sell his share of the vineyard, he was to get much less money for it than ALG imagined. Since his brother, Ottó, sold his part, ALG should ask him as well about a fair price for which vineyars can sell. If ALG wishes to take further remedial steps, he needs to send Gyula much more than $200 for the legal charges. Gyula will be happy to help ALG in this legal matter. Hungarian CALG 7/20.02 Dr. Rabatin Gyula to ALG1977/0321 Gyula has made arrangements at Pécs, Hungary, to obtain the legitimate verdict concerning the investigation of the title of ALG's previous vineyard. ALG needs to send Gyula a power of attorney for him to pursue this matter further. Without this warrant the legal court's document can not be released to Gyula. Hungarian CALG 7/20.03 ALG to Dr. Rabatin Gyula1977/0113 ALG is sad to note that he is not happy with the legal services Gyula provided to him. Gyula, as ALG's Hungarian attorney, should have protested the confiscation of ALG's ownership of his property at Pécs, including the irregularities he found. To offset the $200 ALG sent last year, he would like Gyula to obtain the copy of the original legal document, namely the alleged verdict of the suit. Hungarian CALG 7/20.04 Dr. Rabatin Gyula to ALG1976/1210 Gyula informs ALG of the outcome of the suit. ALG's property was "taken over" by the other two proprietors. Moreover, the decision of the court is completely legitimate. The Lower Court of Pécs could not contact ALG in the United States and, thus, the ownership has already been changed at the Land Record Office. Hungarian CALG 7/20.05 Dr. Rabatin Gyula to ALG1976/0928 Gyula sends information concerning the new Hungarian laws having to do with the property purchased by foreign nationalities. To further proceed in selling ALG's property at Makár, Pécs, Gyula thinks it would be best if ALG send a check of $200 through the Hungarian National Bank. Gyula would like to contact ALG's brother, or his sister-in-law, but he has had no luck so far. The Ministry of Finance needs to give approval to ALG to sell his property and then, using this money, to purchase a condominium in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 7/20.06 Dr. Rabatin Gyula to ALG1976/0812 Gyula thanks ALG for his letter of 07/21. If ALG would like Gyula to handle the sales contract of the vineyard property, he is to send a power of attorney to him for this specific purpose. As ALG is not a Hungarian citizen, Gyula informs him of the laws concerning the purchase of a condominium by foreign nationals. Recently, ALG's name was mentioned in the newspaper "Hungary" how he has helped French prisoners of war in the early 1940s. Hungarian CALG 7/20.07 Land Registration The Central Corporation of Banking Companies encloses the land registration of ALG's share of the property. It shows that ALG is the proprietor of 5/12 of the land he inherited at Makár, Pécs, Hungary. This statement was sent to ALG in 1976/0319. Hungarian CALG 7/20.08 Dr. Csizmadia Andor to ALG1970/0902 Andor is sorry for returning home sooner than expected and thus he did not meet ALG at the conference. He asks ALG to send a copy of his book "The medieval Universities at Pécs and Pozsony." Andor sends detailed information of the land registration of ALG's share of property in Hungary. Hungarian CALG 7/20.09 ALG to Mary1976/0521 ALG asks Mary to obtain a declaration that clearly states that the property, which is apparently in ALG's name, is leased to the same person who purchased his brother's share in 1958. All these years ALG did not get any payment from the lease and doesn't know who received the money. ALG is sad to note that he didn't even know about the leasehold. With this declaration ALG could be reimbursed. The paper sent by the The Central Corporation of Banking Companies for $40 is useless. Mary's son, Ottó, would like to meet ALG in Zagreb, Yugoslavia. ALG wishes, however, to meet his brother as well. He asks Mary to send him a note about their summer plans in advance as he is busy travelling in Europe. He sends his plans and how he can be reached. Hungarian CALG 7/20.10 Mary to ALG1976/0108 Yesterday, the Embassy's Consular Section called Mary and interviewed her concerning the inheritance of ALG. ALG's request to investigate the status of his property in Hungary is their mandate and now the attache is gathering information. Mary said that the person who leases ALG's share of the property pays a small rent to the state. Mary thinks that ALG should ask for compensation since he is the rightful owner. Also the state confiscated ALG's 3 bedroom apartment, including his library, when he left the country, and for this too ALG should be recompenseted for. Mary sends the bill for the 400 Forints she had to pay for the Embassy. Mary visited Pécs several times to clear up the situation with the land. Ottó travels a lot but came home for Christmas with lots of presents. She lost hope to see ALG next Christmas as ALG has promised to visit them many times but never came. Hungarian CALG 7/20.11 The Central Corporation of Banking Companies sends a letter to ALG asking him to be patient as the investigation concerning his immovable estate takes longer time than they expected. Hungarian1975/1205 CALG 7/20.12 Mary to ALG1975/1119 Mary tries to make arrangements to obtain the land registration from Pécs for ALG. At the office in Budapest she was told to wait at least half a year for the results of their investigation as there are many requests. ALG will not get an official response from the Land Office because Mary is ALG's representative and official in charge. She will send a note to ALG as soon as she has a worthwhile response. Ottó László is studying for his exams at the Kaposvár Agrarian University. Mary thinks that ALG never received the champaign they sent with the Greek lawyer. ALG's small Hungarian family sends its respects. Hungarian CALG 7/20.13 Mary to ALG1975/0918 Mary thanks ALG for his telephone call to congratulate her on Maria-day. She sends information concerning ALG's property at Pécs. Unfortunately, there is a great chance that the State has already confiscated it. The loss happened at the same time as the inauguration of the agreement between Hungary and the United States according to which American citizens can claim compensation for the confiscation of their property by the Hungarian State. As ALG is pushed for time, Mary urges him to send a complaint letter to the Land Registry Office, Budapest, to Peter Ida. Hungarian CALG 7/20.14 Mary to ALG1975/0225 Mary has made known ALG's desire to the Foreign National's Assets Office to claim compensation for his unjustly confiscated properties -- house and vineyard --. The office claims to have never received ALG's letters. Mary sent in a petition concerning compensation. Hungarian CALG 7/20.15 ALG to Dr. Peter Ida1975/0923 Ida, and the Land Registrar Office, has misinformed ALG of his status of proprieter thus ALG did not ask for compensation for his vineyard. ALG asks Ida to correct the mistake by restituting his property rights or by sending an affidavit of the mistake. Hungarian CALG 7/20.16 ALG to the General Manager of The Central Corporation of Banking Companies1975/0714 ALG sends an official note asking the president to recompensate him for the lease payments that the Hungarian state unlawfully instituted on his property and pocketed the money. The property was wrongly declared abandoned asset in 1947. And since it is still in his name, ALG did not ask for its compensation with the American authorities. ALG has never visited Hungary for 28 years. But if he receives the rent payment, retrospectively, he will visit Hungary again and use the money there. Hungarian CALG 7/21 Princeton Application1978-1985 CALG 7/22 Godollo1968-1993 CALG 7/22.01 Fejéregyházi Sándor to ALG1993/0912 Sándor sends information about an article containing an interview with the Provost Lágyi Kornél from 1980. Until now, the interview could not be published. It was the occasion of the Jászó ceremony in 1993 that prompted the publishing of the article. He encloses a copy of it. Sándor is sad to note that ALG was not teaching him French, but he graduated from the Norbertines Gymnasium under Professor Paulay Imre. Thus ALG might not remember him personally, only his father who was a professor colleague of ALG. Hungarian CALG 7/22.02 Dr. Igaly György to ALG1992/1210 György thanks ALG for the letter and the package. He is sad to note that the restitution of the Premonstratensians at Gödöllő is unsuccessful. There is a degradation of this Canonical Order and the person who is in charge was not even a student of the Norbertines. With establishing a coed school he misinterprets the whole concept of virtute vinces, thus leading the new school in wrong directions. György would like to be excluded from it. The Hungarian Government should thank ALG for the fact that he accepted their decoration. Hungarian CALG 7/22.03 Dr. Igaly György sends a memorandum, together with a tape, to all his former classmates from Gödöllő and to ALG as well.

Hungarian CALG 7/22.18 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1991/1030 Ottó did not write sooner because he wanted to write about their trip to Jászó, Slovakia. There were 85 of them traveling with two buses.

Last year, he was lucky to catch and watch the TV interview with ALG, which was broadcasted late at night in Budapest. There are lots of news in the air about ALG, his interviews and distinctions. ALG's pupils from Gödöllő are very proud of him and constantly mention his name even in his absence. Here in the United States he contacted many Premontré graduates who all keep in touch with ALG. Unfortunately, the Prémontré Abbey and School at Gödöllő, Hungary, is left with nothing. But his brother and Imre are still fighting for it.

Hungarian CALG 7/22.26 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1989/0510 Ottó, being a former grateful student of ALG's, sends a copy of the invitation to the grand reunion. He fears that this time ALG will not visit Hungary, but next year they will celebrate their 50th reunion and hopes that ALG will make the proposed trip then. Hungarian CALG 7/22.27 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1991/0506 Ottó is making arrangements for the upcoming reunion and will send information about it soon. Hungarian CALG 7/22.28 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1991/0306 To Ottó's great surprise, the Hungarian TV broadcasted an interview with ALG a month ago. Ottó was surprised because the program did not mention ALG's name in their brochure so few people knew about it. He will make arrangements to purchase the ALG interview from the TV to be played back at future events or reunions. He inquires about the time when the interview was recorded. Ottó did find out in advance about ALG's radio interview last spring and called all his classmates to inform them. He is sad to note that Zalán has been involved in politics and did not show up at the reunion. Hungarian CALG 7/22.29 Szentannay Győző to ALG1990/1206 Győző is glad to note that their 50th reunion was very pleasant. However it was sad that the waiting staff at the banquet was unattentive and not polite at all. He inquires about the possibility of ALG using his influence to stop the emergency food aid that is being sent to the Soviet Union. Hungarian CALG 7/22.30 Hoensch Lóri to ALG1990/1210 Lóri thanks ALG for his call in Las Vegas. He will forward the article together with ALG's greetings to Endrey Tóni as time permits. Hungarian CALG 7/22.31 ALG to Dr. Fényi Ottó1988/1006 ALG is sad to note that he was not able to reach Ottó during his last visit in Budapest, Hungary. He intended to pay for the Mécs book, but he doesn't know the price. ALG also intended to invite Ottó to his high provost mass, but it seems that Ottó did not receive ALG's earlier message. ALG collects every memorabilia having to do with Gödöllő and sends them to the Daylesford Abbey where his former student, Dr. Ted Antry, is a prior. The Abbey is close to Philadelphia. ALG is sad to hear that at the universal chapter-house nobody mentioned them. As far as Veszelovszky is concerned, he not only did not mention ALG's proposition but also didn't take the floor whatsoever. ALG plans to talk to him to find out what really happened. He already has in his Notre Dame library collection the works of Karsai and Stuhlmann Patrick. Hungarian CALG 7/22.32 Dr. Igaly György to ALG1988/1005 Yesterday György mailed to ALG the "The report cards of the years 1924-1932 of the Gymnasium of the Prémontré Canonical Order and the corresponding Norbertine Boarding School". This documentation was carefully preserved, bound, and handed over to György by his father when he turned 18. He needed a permit to send the material abroad. As far as the National Széchenyi Library's permit is concerned, once György toled them who the recipient is, ALG, they immediately issued it. György thinks that this material proves that the principles and the teaching methods of the Prémontré Canonical Order was ahead of it's time. Those few who know it and are still alive are grateful for this. ALG ought to send the item they talked about in Budapest to his wife's cousin's address to London. Hungarian CALG 7/22.33 ALG to Dr. Igaly György1988/1111 ALG did not write sooner because he was very busy traveling. The Book arrived in perfect condition. Since then they have already talked on the phone and ALG made arrangements to send the birth-certificate to London. ALG thanks György for his kind words about his former professors, including ALG. ALG sends his regards to the boys. Hungarian CALG 7/22.34 Short Article on the "Lycée Francais de Gödöllő" French School at Gödöllő.

Hungarian CALG 7/22.35 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1987/1209 Ottó is sad to note that their old professor, Dr. Stefancsik, has died. The monastic quarters and convents at Gödöllő are undergoing renovation: The whitewashed frescos and murals are repainted and statutes from the basement are put back in place. But these are only minor repairs as the really valuable things were either stolen or distroyed in 1948. Ottós wife, Edit, sends her regards to ALG. Hungarian CALG 7/22.36 Bajor Pista to ALG1988/0412 Pista thanks ALG for his letter and the copy of his chapter. The chapter of ALG's book will be translated by Ravasz Laci's wife. Pista hopes to see ALG this summer but asks him to let him know in advance the dates of his visit so he can plan. After 20 years of waiting, Pista finally obtained the licence for a phone. He sends his phone number to ALG. Hungarian CALG 7/22.37 Dr. Philippovich Károly to ALG1988/0502 Károly's class, which graduated in 1938, will organize the 50th reunion this summer. Since ALG is their only priest-teacher still alive, Károly wants to know when he will visit Budapest this summer. They will move the date of the reunion to this time to make it easier for ALG to attend the banquet and the Sunday high mass. Hungarian CALG 7/22.38 ALG to Dr. Philippovich Károly1988/0527 ALG will visit Budapest, Hungary, at the beginning of September. If this is not a good time to organize the reunion, ALG would meet them regardless just like in the past. ALG's student, Dr. Domonkos, is currently giving lectures in Budapest and ALG plans to meet him as well. Dr. Domonkos informed ALG about the horribly high prices in Budapest. Thus ALG doesn't know yet at which Hotel he'll stay. He can't afford $155/night at Hilton. Hungarian CALG 7/22.39 Hoensch Lóri to ALG1988/0301 Lóri would like to know when ALG will be in Budapest this summer. He would like to make plans to meet him.

Hungarian CALG 7/22.40 Balogh Ferenc to ALG1988/0612 Although now a big red star covers the script "Virtute Vinces" at Gödöllő, Ferenc still is proud to be a Prémontré graduate and fondly remembers the archaic walls of his school's building. He is sad to note, however, that he might not be able to attend the reunion this summer. Unfortunately his boss in Toronto, Canada, changed his business travel plans. He wishes ALG good time in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 7/22.41 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1988/0824 Ottó heard the news from Fényi Ottó that ALG intends to visit Hungary in September.

Hungarian CALG 7/22.43 Simon Miklós and Lili to ALG They wish happy birthday to ALG and a happy new year. Miklós recalls ALG recently mentioning to him that if he would be the principal of the Prémontré Canonical School at Gödöllő again, he would lead the school in a different way. Miklós asks ALG what he ment by that and how would he do it differently. Miklós, now living in Evanston, Illinois, informs ALG about various disturbing events in his past he lived through in Hungary in 1944, 1948, 1956, and recently in 1989. Hungarian CALG 7/22.44 Dr. Igaly György to ALG1989/0315 György sends information concerning the status of parochial schools in Hungary. It seems that the state now supports the rehabilitation of such schools. He thinks that ALG ought to establish again the Prémontré Canonical Order with its educating boarding-school and its excellent didactical, educational program. If such a thing was possible at Gödöllő in the old king's castle, ALG would be the only person to accomplish this endeavour. Hungarian CALG 7/22.45 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1988/1209 Ottó is sad that he missed ALG's high mass on the 4th of September. Several of ALG's students also wanted to meet him, but many didn't know he will be coming to Budapest. Ottó hopes that ALG will make arrangements next time to visit them at Gödöllő. He sent out the message to all of ALG's friends and old students to listen to ALG's talk in the radio in September. Everybody heard the riport. Ottó sends information concerning the monastic quarters at Gödöllő. Hungarian CALG 7/22.46 Szentannay Győző to ALG1988/1207 Győző congratulates ALG for his radio report in September. He thanks ALG for giving him courage, belief, and common sense when he was his student in the Prémontré Gymnazium. These have helped him gather confidence during rough times. Győző, having led the new boyscout reunion, asks ALG for addresses of Hungarian boyscouts in Indiana. He intends to contact them while reestablishing the boyscout movement in Gödöllő. Hungarian CALG 7/22.47 Poem about ALG Hungarian CALG 7/22.48 Ravasz László to ALG1988/1225 He wishes merry Christmas and a happy new year. Hungarian CALG 7/22.49 Dr. Haydu Zoltán to ALG1988/1214 Zoltán thanks ALG for his letter having to do with his trip to Hungary. He heard it from Ravasz László that now ALG is the Prelate of the Prémontré Canonical Order of Jászóvár. Zoltán congratulates ALG for his distinction. He would like to meet ALG on his next visit to California and invites him to his house. Also he thinks it would be best if ALG met the "Hungarian-American Club" from Monterey Bay area. Hungarian CALG 7/22.50 Berka József to ALG1989/0123 After staying out of politics for many years, József has recently decided to join the Hungarian-Israeli Fraternity. He attaches his study on the Reichmann family's fortune in Toronto. For a long time ALG's brother, Ottó, and József have gotten in touch several times. Thus József could write ALG's biography. He is sad that ALG did not contact him during his repeated stays in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 7/22.51 Review on the Reichmanns of Toronto, the 7th richest family in the whole world.

Hungarian CALG 7/22.53 Hoensch Lóránd to ALG1988/0908 Lóránd encloses the pictures he took during ALG's stay in Budapest. He is glad that they finally met, like ALG's other students as well. Lóránd found, mostly in ALG, the traces of his youth and his recollections he has been looking for. Hungarian CALG 7/22.54 Hoensch Lóránd to ALG1988/1220 Not receiving any answer from ALG concerning the pictures, Lóránd is anxious that they got lost. Shortly after ALG's visit in Budapest, another prominent Hungarian scholar gave a lecture, thus keeping Gödöllő's unworldliness alive, Endrey Tóni. Lóránd sends his regards to Roller Kálmán in case ALG will contact him. Hungarian CALG 7/22.55 ALG to Dr. Ladislav Frankovic1989/0220 The pictures and the colorful brochure of Jászó arrived safely. ALG thanks for László's effort to compile them. A former Phd student of ALG, Dr. Theodore Antry, collects any record from Jászó. ALG will trust some of the pictures to him in Paoli, Pennsylvania. ALG sends his congratulations to Lágyi Kornél, scholar and head librarian of the Order, on his 90th birthday.

Hungarian CALG 7/22.56 ALG to Canon Aldorfai Benedek1989/0220 ALG thanks Benedek for the pictures about the Jászó Chapel and its viscinity. Per ALG's request, Prior Dr. Theodore Antry of the Norbertine Abbey at Daylesford, collects and keeps every material having to do with Jászó, now Jasov in Chechoslovakia. ALG was born in Hungary, but he never regretted to join the Slovak Canonical Order at Jászó, instead of joining the Hungarian Order at Csornya. The Prémontré Canons of Csornya reestablished their Order in California. But ALG did not like the spirit of the Order when he visited them last time. ALG is sad to note that since Laurisin Lajos has died, he has no friends in America. Canon Raszlaviczy is dead and buried at the Daylesford Abbey. ALG sends information concerning former students of Gödöllő's Gymnazium who live in the United States and are all still indebted to their teachers. ALG regrets that he could not contact Benedek at Jászó when he was attending a conference in Prague last year. Hungarian CALG 7/22.57 Szentannay Győző to ALG1986/1223 Győző wanted to write sooner but he was busy settling an investigation concerning the title of his home. Unfortunately he could not solve it and now the family has to move. He wishes happy Christmas and would like to meet ALG in person in the new year to have an unforgettable Norbertine conversation with him. Hungarian CALG 7/22.58 Obituary of Dr. Vareska György Died in 1988 in Cleveland; written by Bodnár Gábor. Hungarian CALG 7/22.59 Szentannay Győző to ALG1987/1111 Győző thanks ALG for his letter of 1986/0219. He intended to write sooner but the move to their new house kept him busy. He is sorry that he was not notified of ALG's last visit to Budapest but he hopes to see ALG on his next visit. Győző has been trying to contact his classmates, especially Hoensch, but with no success. He sends his new address. Hungarian CALG 7/22.60 Bajor Pista (István) to ALG1986/0722 He thanks ALG for his nice and clever letter that he sent to their reunion at Gödöllő. The reading of the letter happened after lunch in the hall of the Taverna Hotel. The letter attests to ALG's amazing memory, remembering everything, every news, and every name. Pista will send information about the rest of the reunion. He would like to meet ALG this Fall and will possibly recruit other Gödöllő graduates too for this occassion. Hungarian CALG 7/22.61 Fábry Pali to ALG1987/0626 Pali sends his congratulations for ALG's publication on the history of the Hungarian students at the Univeristy of Paris, in particular, and for his successful academic work in general. He hopes to meet ALG soon. Hungarian CALG 7/22.62 Dr. Ravasz László to ALG1986/0712 László is happy to hear that ALG intends to visit Hungary in October. Since his wife and László are planning to travel to Japan on October 22nd, he asks ALG to visit one or two days earlier so that they can meet. László invites ALG over for a dinner party at their house. He asks ALG for his favourite Hungarian dish and preferred drinks. He also suggests a reunion with Bajor and his other pupils later in October. László hopes that the enclosed picture that was taken of his class in 1930 at Gödöllő will call nice memories to ALG's mind. He eagerly waits for ALG's response. Hungarian CALG 7/22.63 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1986/0803 The reunion in June was cancelled and postponed to October for ALG's visit. Ottó will show ALG's considerate letter to the pupils of ALG.

He asks ALG to fix the date of the reunion ceremony and the High Mass in the Church of Saint Michael on St. Margaret's Island in Budapest, where he is honorary provost, until mid-September. Hungarian CALG 7/22.64 Dr. Ravasz László to ALG1986/0612 László sends information concerning their 50 reunion, which was held in May. ALG's letter, read by Bajor Pista, reverberated from ALG's old youthful humor that he has always had even when he was the master of the boarding house. Thus the solidarity of the 1936 graduating class derives from this special Norbertine intellect, spirit and education. László thinks that the character-building spirit he incepted for 8 years of his formal education in the Norbertine Order prepared him to endure later hardships in life with dignity; every society should establish high schools that teach morals and humanity. Now, unfortunately, people in Hungary erroneously think that the Norbertine Canonical Order has long been extinct. László sends an autobiographical note, including his unjust dismissal from the Department of Agriculture and memories of his established family. In 1948 he became a class enemy because of his family descent. László will consult with Bajor Pista's recital of the reunion events to make sure nothing is left out for ALG. He thanks ALG for the class's commemoration during his celebration and invites him to his house on his next visit. Hungarian CALG 7/22.65 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1986/0523 Their 46th class reunion will be held on 23rd of June. Ottó writes a few lines about the reunion and asks ALG to attend the luncheon ceremony.

He sends his phone number for ALG's consideration to make arrangements in this regard. Hungarian CALG 7/22.66 ALG to Dragsits Ottó1986/0605 It will be impossible for ALG to attend the reunion because he will be busy preparing his new publication for the Frankfurt Book-festival, which will be on the 1st of October. ALG is sad to miss this special event and promises to talk to his them on the phone during the ceremony. ALG, now an old man, is happy to see his Prémontré pupils' unparalleled loyalty they show to him. He, too, treasures a book published by them in 1940, with a class photo attached to it. During his visit ALG plans to held a celebration in October in Budapest and invites Ottó and his former classmates to this event, following a dinner. ALG inquires about his pupils, who left Hungary and lost touch with them. Hungarian CALG 7/22.67 Bajor István to ALG1986/0421 István organizes their 50th high school reunion, which will be on 19th of May. Professor Szopek was their homeroom teacher.

Hungarian CALG 7/22.68 ALG to Bajor István1986/0503 ALG is happy to hear that his pupils pay reverence to their professors -- dead or alive. Unfortunately he can't attend the festivities but he will send a letter of salutation with Dr. Luttor Kálmán. ALG earned his Phd exactly 50 years ago from the Pázmány Péter University. Then he was busy studying in Budapest and in the evenings taking care of his pupils in the Gödöllő boarding school. Nevertheless ALG still remembers most of them. He probably doesn't recall those who lived out. He sends information about István's classmates living abroad. ALG remembers the poetry and songs unique to Gödöllő at that time that teachers and students all sang together. He hopes his pupils will have a good time at their 50th reunion.

Zsoldos Zoli is well, but his cousin, the real Hápi, is ill with lungcancer. Life is difficult in Hungary, therefore "the boys" don't get together any more. But Géza thinks that ALG's visit to Hungary would put them in touch with each other again. Hungarian CALG 7/23.10 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1982/1215 Ottó recalls those few days that he spent with ALG this year. He hopes that ALG too has nice memories of his las visit. He will collect ALG's writings from before 1944 and give it to his brother, Ottó. Hungarian CALG 7/23.11 Simon Miklós to ALG1983/1224 As time passes Miklós is becoming more nostalgic about former Prémontré College of Gödöllő. He praises ALG for giving the opportunity to him and other pupils of his to live in paradise on Earth. He intends to restore Catholic Church schools and private Catholic education in Hungary but knows that it will be difficult. Miklós is glad to note that he got another role in a PBS series and that the movie will come out next summer. He also inquires about ALG's library. It is sad that Holbay, or Holbach Kasszián as he recalls him, passed away. He wishes good health to ALG with great reverence. Hungarian CALG 7/23.12 Waldbott Éva and Hanzi to ALG1983/1206 Éva is sorry to have missed ALG's visit in Munich, Germany, and hopes to see ALG on his next visit. Hanzi met Hoensch Loli in Munich who has been visiting his mother there. Hungarian CALG 7/23.13 Letter marked void ~ L ~ Galambos Pista to ALG1983/0603 Pista thanks ALG for the two books he sent. He immediately gave one of them to the head of the University Libraries at Wayne State University, Máté Béla. Béla knows ALG personally. He asks ALG to pray for the priest, Gáspár Márton, who recently had a serious car accident. Pista visits him regularly at the hospital. Hungarian CALG 7/23.14 Hoensch Loli and Éva to ALG1983/0101 Loli encloses two pictures that evoke memories of the time they met in Hungary and then in Münich, Germany. He sent a picture to ALG's brother, Ottó, as well. He hopes to keep in touch with ALG in the upcoming year. Hungarian CALG 7/23.15 Madas Edit to ALG1983/0203 Professor Mezey will turn 65 this year. On this occasion the St. Stephen Print wants to compile and issue the professor's hard to find essays and articles. Edit asks ALG to write a few introductory lines expressing his appreciation, as time permits, to be attached to the print. Hungarian CALG 7/23.16 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1982/1211 Ottó has come across an article that ALG wrote in 1942. As soon as he collects more of these he will either send it to ALG or talk to Ottó as to what to do. Hungarian CALG 7/23.17 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1982/0212 Ottó is happy to note that he finally got married with Edit after 36 years. He encloses a photo of their wedding. Ottó now lives at Gödöllő together with her new wife but visits his brother in Budapest regularly. His brother has been ill last year. Gödöllő is not the same old charming place as it used to be and as ALG remembers it. Instead it's an ugly big city with lots of concrete buildings. He informs ALG about former classmates, who fled Hungary and as a consequence lost contact. As he plans to be organizing the next reunion, he anticipates to find out about more deceased friends of theirs. Hungarian CALG 7/23.18 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1981/1108 Ottó is happt to hear about ALG's Hungarian related honour he received from the Pope. He asks ALG to inform him about the date of his visit to Budapest, Hungary, so that he can make arrangements for a class reunion. After 35 years of waiting for it, Ottó finally got married. Hungarian CALG 7/23.19 Szentannay Gyözö to ALG1981/0110 Gyözö was just informed about ALG's enourmous international acknowledgement: his presidency at the Bukarest Conference. Like ALG, he has no news either of their 40th reunion. Gyözö hopes that they'll meet in the newly renovated Kárpátia Restaurant this year. Hungarian CALG 7/23.20 Hoensch Loli to ALG1980/0306 After so many years of silence, Loli decided to write a few lines. As a pupil of ALG, Loli has learned so many wonderful and noble things from ALG. Now he thinks often of ALG as being his professor with the finest sentiments of all. In May, the class will celebrate the 40th reunion. On this special occasion Loli would like to hear news from his former homeroom teacher, ALG. Hungarian CALG 7/24 Father Tibor Horvath - Toronto1991-1993 CALG 7/24.01 Horváth Tibor to ALG1991/1208 The participants at the METEM -- International Society of Toronto for Hungarian Church History -- meeting all agreed that there are not sufficient funds available to suppoprt the METEM Award and Scholarship for ALG and three other historians. Instead, the Society will announce the establishment of the METEM Academic Merit Award to four internationally well-known Hungarian historians, including ALG. Should ALG have suggestions and/or comments in this regard, he is to tell Tibor as soon as possible. Tibor invites ALG for the METEM charity dinner on January 11th in Toronto. Hungarian CALG 7/24.02 Memo from Horváth Tibor to the participants of the meeting: Tibor thinks that the accusation -- that he appropriated the financial and intellectual assets of the Society -- is unfair and he is taking the floor to defend himself. Hungarian1993/0301 CALG 7/24.03 Horváth Tibor to Dr. Tilly Károly1993/0222 On January 8th, Tibor transferred 10,933 Canadian dollars to its rightful owner, the Gaudium Endowment. Hungarian CALG 7/24.04 Tilly Károly to ALG1992/1008 For ALG's consideration, Károly encloses the minutes of the Encyclopedia of Church History Endowment's advisory board meeting. This took place in Budapest on 1992/0928. The founders of the Endowment thought that it was necessary to make changes to the original charter. Károly informs ALG about the reasons and the nature of these changes.

Hungarian CALG 7/25.15 Dr. Eördögh István to ALG1990/0323 István received ALG's document that appoints him to be the Vatican Secretary, in Rome, of the Society for Encyclopedia of Church History in Hungary. He is is happy to represent the Society together with its findings on future Conferences on Church History. István makes several proposals for the establishment of a secretarial office in Rome. He also makes an appeal for financial support to the International Society for Encyclopedia of Church History in Hungary. He encloses the receipts of his prior expenses and asks for reimbursement. He intends to microfilm the unique source material from the Propaganda Fide Archives. It contains first source materials having to do with the history of Transylvanian Hungarians, which is little known among the Hungarian historians. István fears that if they don't act fast, the whole microfilm project might fail because the material will be soon transferred to the Secret Archives of the Vatican. István would need 9,000 Canadian dollars for the project. Hungarian CALG 7/25.16 ALG to Dr. Eördögh István1990/0403 ALG sends his congratulations for István's scientific work and for the upcoming publication of his two books. It would be a good idea for István to contact Canon Msgr. Michele Maccarrone in the Vatican. István will soon receive an answer concerning reimbursement and future subsidy from Father Horváth Tibor, the General Secretary from Canada. Hungarian CALG 7/25.17 Minutes1989/1106 From the 2nd year meeting held by METEM - International Society of Toronto for Hungarian Church History.

Hungarian CALG 7/25.19 List of donors supporting the METEM Foundation Including the amount of support. All donors are charter members as well. Hungarian CALG 7/25.20 Announcement of the new magazine : Essays in Church History in Hungary It elaborates on and publicly discusses the thousand year old history of the Hungarian Church.

Hungarian CALG 7/25.21 1989/0630 Newsletter of the METEM It lists the accompishments of the Society. Starting this year it is an incorporated Research Institute, in Canada, promoting research in Hungarian Church History. Hungarian CALG 7/25.22 Érszegi Géza to ALG1989/0310 Géza wanted to write sooner to introduce himself but he has been hoping for an opportunity to meet ALG in person. Since ten years, Géza has been trying to restart the Vatican Research in Hungary. Géza intends to research all the medieval material in the Vatican, microfilm the documents with Hungarian pertinence, and make it available for research in the Hungarian Public Archives in Budapest. This project, however, is very costly. Now Géza plans to publish the "Essays in Church History" in Hungary. Should ALG want to publish one of his essays in Hungarian in this area of research, he is to send it to Géza as soon as possible. He wishes happy Easter. Hungarian CALG 7/25.23 Article from the Hungarian Catholic Weekly, "Uj ember"1989/0115 Title: What is METEM's new direction? Hungarian CALG 7/25.24 ALG to Dr. Érszegi Géza1989/0405 ALG just received Géza's letter. When he was a university student, ALG recalls analyzing King St. Stephen's documents in Greek. Now ALG is happy to keep them. He forwarded Géza's letter to Father Horváth Tibor, the General Secretary of the Society. Tibor deals with the finances and has recently wire-transferred money to the Hungarian office of METEM. ALG advises Géza to turn to Tibor in all matters concerning research and money. ALG is very busy these days with the proof-reading of his upcoming book. Thus he fails to correspond with many people in Hungary. ALG is afraid that many Hungarians are offended at this, however, they don't see that the pressure to work hard in America is very high. Hungarian CALG 7/25.25 Horváth Tibor to ALG1989/0130 As the president of the International Society for Encyclopedia for Church History in Hungary, ALG is the appropriate person to appoint Dr. Eördögh István for Vatican representative. Per István's and his request, ALG is to formulate the appointment both in Hungarian and in English. István's credentials are an assurance that, as a future METEM's Vatican representative, he will be a great benefactor of the Society. Tibor received a letter from Archbishop Dankó, Hungary, advising him about István's appointment. Hungarian CALG 7/25.26 1988/1218 Plans Concerning the establishment of a Vatican and Western-European General Secretariat under the auspicies of the Society, seated in Rome. Prepared for the International Secretariat in Toronto, for consideration, by Dr. Eördögh István. It includes the scope of the activities performed by such a cultural cheritable trust, Italian legal procedures, location, cost, and personnel. Hungarian CALG 7/25.27 Dr. Eördögh István to Horváth Tibor1988/1218 István encloses an insert to his detailed layout of the cheritable trust located in Rome. The magazine "Vázlatok" is to publish the first source material pertinent to Hungarian Church History found in various archives of the Vatican. For years, this material has been carefully reserached and documented by István and he plans to be publishing it soon. Hungarian CALG 7/26 Encyclopedia of Church History in Hungary1987-1992 CALG 7/26.01 Uzsoki András to Dr. Horváth Tibor1989/0116 There are more and more successful activities and fundraising events organized by the International Society for Encyclopedia for Church History in Hungary. There are clear signs that this Society is becoming the most fruitful and successful movement in Hungarian church history ever. Hungarian CALG 7/26.02 Dr. Eördögh István to Dr. Horváth Tibor1988/1218 István agrees with Tibor that his mandate to initiate a Vatican and West-European Secretariat, seated in Rome, needs to be issued and conceived by the President of the International Society for Encyclopedia for Church History, and that is ALG. István suggests four items his nomination for Vatican representative should include. Hungarian CALG 7/26.03 Article written by Kostya Sándor On December 1st, 1988, the International Society for Encyclopedia for Church History in Hungary held its first assembly meeting in Toronto. By way of introduction the president, ALG, presented the main events in Hungarian and international church history. He also talked about the important role the association has in the lives of Hungarians. Research publications cover Hungary's lost territories too with their scattered 6,000 Hungarian parishes.(February 1989) Hungarian CALG 7/26.04 Szántó Konrád to Dr. Horváth Tibor1989/0206 Konrád sends information about the associaton's Hungarian Secretariat in Budapest and their board meeting that took place couple of days before. Konrád thanks Tibor for his stroke of genius initiating this association and for his foregoing support. Hungarian CALG 7/26.05 Szántó Konrád to Dr. Horváth Tibor1989/0208 Konrád informs Tibor about Proconsul Father Morlin Imre, donations given by various charter members, publications, and the budget of the Hungarian Branch of the Society. Hungarian CALG 7/26.06 Memorandum of Association Declaring the establishment of the Hungarian Church History Endowment on 1988/1212. Hungarian CALG 7/26.07 Uzsoki András to Dr. Horváth Tibor1989/0120 András sends good news from Hungary concerning METEM's board members, their financial contributions, and the publications of the society. Hungarian CALG 7/26.08 Uzsoki András to Dr. Horváth Tibor1989/0213 András has distributed the membership cards to the board members. He sends one membership card to Tibor and another one to the president, ALG. The minimum donation is 500 Hungarian Forints for the members. But both ALG and Tibor are excluded from paying the membership fees. Instead they deserve recognition and indebted thanks for their hard work, which is worth more than any fee. András encloses a copy of the Associations' board meeting proceedings and a memorandum to the members. Hungarian CALG 7/26.09 ALG to Dr. Kostya Sándor1989/0216 On the Association's behalf, ALG thanks Sándor for his article in Kronika that reflected very well both the proceedings of the Toronto meeting and the objectives of the International Society for Encyclopedia for Church History. Hungarian CALG 7/26.10 Proceedings of the International Society for Encyclopedia for Church History, Toronto1988/1201 From the first strategic board meeting, Regis College. The association has 110 members and has received the first $5,000 pledge. Hungarian CALG 7/26.11 Prof. Horváth Tibor to ALG1988/1104 Tibor sends information about the first strategic board meeting and encloses a copy of the invitation that they will send out. 15 people will be invited only. The aim of the meeting is to organize the Board of Directors with 60 trustees. Should ALG attend the meeting, he is to say the inaugural. Tibor encloses a recent article in "Uj Ember", the Hungarian Catholic Weekly, about METEM (Hungarian abbreviation for the International Society for Encyclopedia for Church History in Hungary). Hungarian CALG 7/26.12 Draft Proposal for Publication of Essays in Church History Concerning its themes, publicity, editorial desk, and publisher. Hungarian CALG 7/26.13 Hölvényi György to Somorjai Ádám1988/0629 György sends his suggestions for and ideas about the METEM formation meeting at the end of August. Hungarian CALG 7/26.14 Somorjai Ádám sends the preliminary report about the METEM formation meeting held in August. Hungarian1988/0718 CALG 7/26.15 ALG to Dr. Somorjai Ádám1988/0712 ALG thanks Ádám for his two letters. Unfortunately, ALG will not be able to attend the formation meeting due to another conference he has to attend on the 28th of August. He tried to postpone this to another date but to no avail. Today, ALG talked to Dr. Horváth Tibor about a long letter they plan to be sending to Dr. Tilly Károly. ALG sends his regards to Dr. Várszegi Asztrik. Hungarian CALG 7/26.16 Dr. Somorjai Ádám to ALG1988/0516 Ádám has coordinated his efforts with Father Horváth Tibor to send out the enclosed invitation on behalf of ALG and Archbishop Dankó László from Kalocsa. The invitation is for the formation meeting/Opening Ceremony of the International Society for Encyclopedia for Church History in Hungary. Ádám is glad to help the association and ALG by being on the advisory board. The meeting will be in August. Hungarian CALG 7/26.17 Dr. Somorjai Ádám to ALG1988/0620 Ádám sends the second report on the preliminary steps of the opening meeting. ALG's personal presence is of prime importance. Hungarian CALG 7/26.18 Dr. Szántó Konrád to ALG1988/0701 Konrád would be obliged if ALG would attend the formation meeting in August because this event would be incomplete without the presence of the president of the association. ALG's considerable international fame will give authority both to the meeting and to the International Society for Encyclopedia for Church History in Hungary. Hungarian CALG 7/26.19 Dr. Tilly Károly to Dr. Horváth Tibor1988/0612 Károly received the invitation to the formation meeting in August. He is sad to hear that there will be no member of the association, who live abroad, attending the conference. But Károly was also dissapointed both by the appearance and by the content of the invitation. He thinks, by reading the program, that the International Society for Encyclopedia for Church History in Hungary's independence is in danger. Károly also thinks that both clerical and secular historians should be involved in research on Church history. A syndicate, seated in Hungary, would be useful for the Hungarian operation of the association. It will, however, operate under the auspices of the Toronto seat. Károly, along with other members in Budapest, inquires more information concerning the independence of the association. Hungarian CALG 7/26.20 Dr. Horváth Tibor to Dr. Dankó László, Archbishop1988/0225 Per László's suggestion, ALG is the temporary president of the International Society for Encyclopedia for Church History in Hungary. Both ALG and Tibor think that the association's formation meeting in August should be organized in Hungary by members living in Budapest. Tibor sends information about the association. Hungarian CALG 7/26.21 Dr. Horváth Tibor to ALG1987/1229 Tibor encloses an annexed list of the members of the Association. Also he plans to be organizing a pilgrimige to visit Hungary's old Churches on the 19th of August. He would like ALG to take part at least in the opening meeting held on the 28th as it is desirable for Hungarians from the Unites States to participate along with Hungarians from Canada. The manuscript of the first issue of "Vázlatok" has been sent to the Verlag Publisher in Vienna, Austria. Hungarian CALG 7/26.22 Bulletin on the Pilgrimage to Primaeval Churches of Hungary1988 In 1988, which is the year of King St. Stephen. The pamphlet urges association members to participate in this unique field-trip. Hungarian CALG 7/26.23 Dr. Horváth Tibor to ALG1987/1004 Tibor plans to have the association's first meeting organized next August in Hungary. The theme of the meeting would be the methodology of parish church history. Possibly elections would take place too. Tibor would be obliged if ALG would attend and preside the meeting. ALG could possibly do some fundraising in order to get financial support. Hungarian CALG 7/26.24 Press Release About a new association of Church historians, ALG being president and Prof. Horváth Tibor being General Secretary. Hungarian CALG 7/26.25 List of Hungarian Church Historians1987/0524 Hungarian CALG 7/26.26 Newsletter About the tasks of the association, plans for publication, and a future register of Hungarian parishes. Hungarian CALG 7/26.27 Manuscript of the first issue of "Vázlatok" By no means definitive: calls for suggestions and ideas. Hungarian CALG 7/26.28 Szántó Konrád to Dr. Horváth Tibor1987/0101 Prof. Tilly informed Konrád that Tibor needs suggestions concerning the tasks of the association. Konrád lists his ideas and hopes that they will be useful. He suggests possible topics to be included in the 1st and 2nd issue of "Vázlatok". He also thinks that the association's Hungarian Secretariat should be seated at Pannonhalma. Members in Hungary rely on scientific collaboration with Hungarians living abroad. Hungarian CALG 7/26.29 Dr. Horváth Tibor to Dr. Paskai László, Suffragan Bishop1987/0115 Tibor informs the Suffragan Bishop about the establishment of the church histrian's association in Toronto. Cardinal Dean, Lékai László, supported the idea before he passed away. ALG undertook the temporary presidency and presides until the association's rules along with election and nomination of the board members become final. Hungarian CALG 7/26.30 Horváth Tibor to ALG1986/0422 Tibor encloses the invitation to subscribe to the Hungarian Church History Assiciation. He asks ALG for his comments and ideas how to explore best the 1000 year old history of the Hungarian Church. Hungarian CALG 7/26.31 Horváth Tibor to ALG1986/0606 Tibor thanks ALG for his phone call. He suggests the formation of an interim board of directors and two names the association should be called. President: ALG. Vice-President: Bogyay Tamás, Germany, and Gereral Secretary: Prof. Horváth Tibor, Canada. Tibor reccommends the association to be advertised in the American Historical Review. He asks ALG to send his advise and his instructions as soon as possible. Hungarian CALG 7/27 French Academy of Sciences1991-1992 CALG 7/28 Dr. A. L. Gabriel: Personal1951-1994 CALG 7/28.01 Fehér Holló Publisher to ALG1979/1014 They agree with ALG that they did not enclose, with the order form, a correction form as well concerning the new, fat volume of Prominent Hungarians. They just mentioned that ALG's biography is listed in it. Should ALG find any mistake in his biography, he is to send the correction as soon as possible. Hungarian CALG 7/28.02 Jaschkó Balázs to ALG1977/0927 Balázs thanks ALG for his note concerning the newspaper article. He also asks ALG to deliver a talk on St. Elizabeth ceremony on November 20th, 1977, after the dinner at the Parish Hall. Hungarian CALG 7/28.03 Horváth Ernö to ALG1977/0420 Ernö congratulates ALG for his notable collection he put together for the Hungarian posterity. He encloses an article from the Newspaper of californian Hungarians "Napnyugat". The article describes the microfilm collection of the Central Geneology Library in Salt Lake City. Ernö thinks that it might contain information concerning Hungarian families in the United States. Hungarian CALG 7/28.04 Deniflee Katalin to ALG1976/1125 Katalin's beloved aunt, Juci, just informed her that she can ask ALG for help because ALG might be of assistance to her. Her son, Ferenc, would like to apply to the Notre Dame Law School, after graduating from Columbia University. She would be obliged if ALG would help her son get in to the Notre Dame Law school by pulling some strings. She wishes happy Christmas. Hungarian CALG 7/29 Dr. A. L. Gabriel: Personal1951-1994 CALG 7/29.01 Márton Hugó to ALG1973/1222 Hugó wishes merry Christmas and a happy new year. The General informed Hugó, by phone, about ALG's Papal decoration. Hugó and the General have not met since January. The General will send it to Hugó so that he can forward it to ALG. Hugó congratulates ALG for his Papal distinction. Hungarian CALG 7/29.02 ALG to Márton Hugó1974/0307 ALG encloses another letter to Hugó written in English language that Hugó can show to the General when he sees him. The letter promulgates ALG's extreme dissapointment in the everything that has to do with the General's power. ALG also thanks Hugó for his time and effort in sending ALG's decoration and Diploma. But it was not Hugó whose obligation was forwarding the decoration to him: it was the Curia which was supposed to send such documents. ALG is sad to note that the General handled this case very poorly. He sent a note to Rome, to the most responsible quarters, that such documents are to be sent either to the episcopate, where ALG belongs to, or to the President of the Catholic University, Fr. Hesburgh. From this mishandling, it seems that the General is worth a litte, being envious of the recognitions his fellow Confreres receive. Hungarian CALG 7/30 [Research for Munich Lecture] CALG 7/31 Personal File1953-1988 CALG 7/31.01 Pályi György to ALG1987/0522 György's fundraising attempt has been successful. He is glad to note that $400 was collected for the project. He would like to research and document in full detail the battle at Letkés. In 1944 he was there the commanding officer of his Hungarian regiment. György encloses the letter he recieved from the pastor of the Letké parish. Having spent his whole life writing up the history of his Repülö Lövész regiment, György now would like to travel home hoping to complete his mission. He thanks ALG for his encouraging words. Hungarian CALG 7/31.02 Puchovszky István to Pályi György1987 István sends information concerning the parish, the cemetry with the name of the soldiers killed in action during the WWII, and the Institute for Disabled Children, which he founded. István is glad to be the priest of not one but two surrounding congregations next to Letkés. Upon György's travel, he advises György to obtain the Chehoslovakian visa in the United States. Hungarian CALG 7/31.03 Fin Róbert to ALG1987/0412 Róbert thanks ALG for his letter and for the article that appeared in the "Hungarian Catholics Sunday". He is glad to note that ALG is the most recognized and distinguished Hungarian scholar abroad. Like ALG, Róbert constantly teaches and publishes. Lately he received the "Russian teacher extraordinaire" award. Róbert hopes that ALG, too, is happy and contented with his life in this vale of tears. Hungarian CALG 7/31.04 Dr. Eszterhás István to ALG1987/0303 István received a letter from Mrs. Angela Bront, ALG's secretary, questioning István's payments for the ads. He finds her lines reproachful and her attitude annoying. Thus István sends a long letter explaining to ALG the situation in order to clarify the misunderstanding. During his 26 years as an editor and writer he has never accepted money for his reviews. Now István wrote ALG's book review, still for free. But ALG's secretary confuses the money ALG sent for advertising his book with the review István wrote for the same magazins. Yet it was ALG's belated idea to advertise his book at the first place. István forwarded all the money he received from ALG to the newspaper for paying the charges for the ad. István feels that his strong-backed journalistic integrity is objected to in the secretary's letter and sends ALG's money back. He encloses a check for $70. István thinks that ALG would have done the same thing in his place. Hungarian CALG 7/31.05 Vida István to ALG1986/1030 István sends ALG the manuscript of his article. The content has the aspect of a model. Being a beginner writer, he asks ALG to help him publish this work in the "International Catholic Review Communio", which is printed at the University of Notre Dame. Hungarian CALG 7/31.06 Szabó Júlia to ALG1984/0329 Júlia has worked for years on her article about cedars. Finally it appeared in the Acta Historial Artium. Júlia thanks ALG for reading and commenting the text. She would have written sooner but she received ALG's letter, posted in October, late in February. Júlia sends her husband's new book about early gothic architecture in Hungary in gratitude for ALG's kindness. Her husband, Marosi Ernő, too, sends his regards. Hungarian CALG 7/31.07 Lazar Andre to ALG1986/0219 Andre received ALG's letter from February 3rd. ALG can subscribe to The Hungarian Digest through the Kultura Co., Budapest, just like the other books. Or else he could order books through the famous Püski Publisher of New York. Upon ALG's visit in October, Andre will give ALG a copy each of his two books: Ego Sum Gallicus Captivus and the Arpadine. He congratulates ALG for publishing, in English, his new book that deals with Hungarian-French themes. Hungarian CALG 7/31.08 Jákli István to ALG1986/0129 István sends a short introduction of himself since ALG does yet know him yet. Doing research in the field of Hungarian Medieval History, specifically on the first written Hungarian poem ever, István is now stuck with his research. He kindly asks ALG, the expert on Parisian Universities in the Middle Ages, to name references on this topic, in German or in Hungarian if possible. Hungarian CALG 7/31.09 Joseph St. Claire to ALG1980/0813 Joe did not write sooner because he has received ALG's letter very late. He sends a sketchy memoir, including his retirement in 1978, and invites ALG for a visit. Still having a piece of the hand grenade in his leg, he is at times reminded of this terrible incident. Hungarian CALG 7/31.10 Ili to ALG1984/1114 Ili is happy to hear that ALG will visit Toronto soon and invites him for a dinner. He asks ALG to inform her of the dates he will be able to come. She congratulates ALG for yet another distinction he received in Hungary. Hungarian CALG 7/31.11 Gál Gedeon to ALG1983/0809 Gedeon and his research team has received a fellowship prize from the National Endowment for the Humanities. $117,576 is outright but the remaining $102,000 would double their own funds. Gedeon inquires information as to where he could apply for $51,000 funding. He would like to know whether ALG knows somebody personally in higher circles to fund such a theoretical project and whether ALG will give advice concerning fundraising. Hungarian CALG 7/31.12 Emil to ALG1982/0304 Emil received ALG's letter and the enclosed article about the movie "Four Friends" and about the success of their common friend, Simon Miklós. He will make arrangements at the literary news section of "New Europe", Münich, to announce this. Emil's is glad to note that the German language translation of his book on the 1956 revolution has just appeared. He hopes to meet ALG soon in Germany. Hungarian CALG 7/31.13 Hutás Pongrác Zoltán to ALG1981/0817 36 years have passed away since they last met in Budapest, Hungary. Then ALG showed him the letter written to the Canadian prime minister in which the provost authorizes ALG's departure for 6 months. Pongrác waived good bye to ALG and to those few lucky ones who left. Often Pongrác and ALG's old friend from Paris, Dr. Penkert Miska, have commemorated ALG. They recalled his supreme and unique intelligence, astuteness, and sense of humor. Lately Miska described ALG's world-wide fame by quoting him "I teach at the same university as Einstein". Pongrác still keeps the nice souvenir he received from ALG in Rome in 1942: a picture of St. Pongrac. Unfortunately he had to stay in Romania and has lived his life in Nagyvárad (Oradea) where he was getting nowhere. The monastic quarters is slowly dying out with only two guardians remaining: Suta Evermód and him. Moreover the provostship of Váradhegyfok has no legal status neither in front of the Romanian authorities nor in front of the General. Unfortunately nobody cares about their existence. Pongrác hears the toll of their funeral bell. He is sorry to note that Miska recently passed away. Hungarian CALG 7/31.14 Székely Dávid to ALG1981/0201 Recently "Elet es Irodalom" run a short article on ALG in Budapest. Dávid received ALG's address from Ottó and sends a copy of the article. He is happy to know ALG as there are very few people he met who are both scholars and man of the world at the same time. He is to look for a meeting with ALG if he visits the United States. Hungarian CALG 7/31.15 Kohári József to ALG1981/0202 After 16 years, József now returns the St. Elisabeth picture and the related documents. He received these from ALG when they planned to decorate the church in Toronto. József agrees with ALG on the importance of Hungarian marriages, namely Hungarians marrying only Hungarians. Their biological subsistence could depend on it. He asks ALG to spread this idea among his many young friends. Hungarian CALG 7/31.16 Dr. Gilbert Mihályi to ALG1979/1228 Dr. Gilbert Mihályi is writing the first Hungarian biography of Pope John the 2nd. He would be obliged if ALG would send the reference of his eminent work about Hungarian students at Cracow University. Dr. Gilbert Mihályi plans to make reference to this relevant book. Hungarian CALG 7/32 Personal File1953-1988 CALG 7/32.01 Gábriel Ottóné, Eszter, to ALG1979/0429 Eszter is happy to note that she is pregnant and that they expect the baby in October. Ottó, her husband, travels a lot throughout Europe thus he needs his own car. But in Hungary it is hard to come by any car, new or used. Eszter, after long deliberations, now asks ALG to help them to a Fiat 127 through Konsumex Bank. Eszter's family would cover all the costs. Hungarian CALG 7/32.02 Gábriel Ottó to ALG1979/0505 Ottó encloses a handout about donating cars through Konsumex that Eszter forgot to attach to her letter. He agrees with Eszter that it is impossible to buy a car in Hungary paying with Hungarian Forints. Even though Ottó paid half of the price as downpayment, he needs to wait 4-5 years to obtain a car. Having dollars, ALG is in a better position to help the young couple to a Fiat. If ALG is not willing to help, or has no means, he is to inform Eszter honestly as soon as possible. Ottó hopes to meet ALG in person this year in Koper, Yugoslavia. Hungarian CALG 7/32.03 Kohári József to ALG1979/0830 Due to the meager resources the United Hungarian Fund in Toronto has, they will not be able to cover ALG's travel expenses when he comes to give a talk. József hopes that ALG will visit Toronto for another occasion. Then they will make arrangements for him to give a lecture. Perhaps he could visit and meet Alföldi András from Princeton at the beginning of next year. Hungarian CALG 7/32.04 Dr. Udvardy Tibor to ALG1979/0104 Tibor is sad to note that ALG will not attend the celebration held in memory of Michael Kováts. Tibor thinks it will be a historical moment. Therefore he asks ALG to send a picture of himself and to give his consent for his name to be used as the symbol of this Hungarian endeavor. Hungarian CALG 7/32.05 Dr. Hubay Ilona to ALG1978/0502 Realizing that ALG is a "redivivus" at Notre Dame, Ilona was able to find his address and send this letter. ALG's postcard was a nice surprise. Ilona works on a B42 project that will perhaps end at the end of this year. Now she regrets that she agreed to participate in it because it is not profitable. She will be at home, in Münich, at the beginning of July. ALG is to visit the wonderful "Erwerbungen von 30 Jahren" exhibition upon his visit in July. Hungarian CALG 7/32.06 Dr. Várdy Huszár Ágnes to ALG1978/0408 The Hungarian Academy of Sciences plans to publish a Hungarian Literary Cyclopaedia. This letter is sent at the request of the editors who would like to include ALG's name in this work. Ágnes encloses a guide for ALG according to which he is to compile and send his personal data by May 15th. Hungarian CALG 7/32.07 Dr. Hubay Ilona to ALG1977/0426 Ilona spent two months resting in a small mountain village. Upon her return, she found ALG's postcard. Keresztury Dezsö paid a visit to her in Münich, Germany, and informed her about the situation in Hungary. After enduring 9 years at Csorvás due to the communist eviction, Ilona is glad to be in München. She invites ALG to visit her since she knows that she will never get to the United States. Hungarian CALG 7/32.08 Jaschkó Balázs to ALG1977/0217 Balázs invites ALG to be the honor guest at their anniversary celebration at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church in Toronto. The event will take place on the 20th of March at 6 p.m.. Hungarian CALG 7/32.09 Kalniczky György to ALG1977/0122 György is sorry for not writing sooner, but he was very busy. He thanks ALG for the information concerning his distinction, which was published in the Fall issue. The aim of the Catholic Hungarian University Movement is to spead the news about the achievements of Hungarian scholars living abroad. He invites ALG to visit him on his next trip to Münich, Germany. Hungarian CALG 7/32.10 Jakab Miklós to ALG1976/1210 Recently Cardinal Lékay from Hungary has visited South Bend. Miklós encloses an article about this visit, which duly commemorates the Hungarian Library at the University of Notre Dame and its founder, ALG. Hungarian CALG 7/32.11 Bakay Lajos to ALG1976/1031 Lajos sends an inquiry for information concerning possible interships for her daughter, Stephanie. She is a history of art major and would like to obtain her masters degree. Lajos would like to know whether ALG has some connections in variuos Art Departments and whether his daughter would be welcome at Notre Dame or not. Hungarian CALG 7/32.12 Lester László Stark to ALG1976/1126 Finally Laci is ready with the printouts he made from the slides. As far as the reunion is concerned, Laci waits for ALG's promise to attend or not and he will go by that. He informs ALG about their trip through the West Coast to Florida. Hungarian CALG 7/32.13 William Graff, Kajci, to ALG1976 Kajci encloses an article about the character of John Dean. She was happy to meet ALG in Washington. Hungarian CALG 7/33 Personal File1953-1988 CALG 7/33.01 Eckhardt Sándor to ALG1967/0919 Sándor thanks ALG for the seals, including the Ambrosiana seal. Looking at the photos, he can now imagine ALG's institute. Sándor asks ALG to inquire in the Vatican Archives about Balassi Bálint and the controversy on the christening of his son. ALG is to look into the documents of the Jesuits as well. Sándor informs ALG about who among his professors retired and who is still alive. Hungarian CALG 7/33.02 Végh István to ALG1966/0428 István thanks ALG for his letter. István remembers meeting ALG 25 years ago in Pécs, Hungary. Now the city has changed to better and István would not be able to leave from there. He will also organize the 40th class reunion and would like to know whether ALG intends to attend. They will all comply with ALG's schedule. There are few classmates who died already and a couple of them are missing. István sends information concerning the whereabouts of his classmates living in Hungary. He still keeps a photo, which was taken in ALG's vineyard long time ago while there were singing as he was playing the violin. Hungarian CALG 7/33.03 Mimi to ALG1973/0209 Mimi is concerned about ALG. It seems that they lost contact. She inquires about ALG and about a possible visit to Cambridge in the future. She just came across the History of the Eotvos Loránd University, published recently by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. But she was sorry for seeing that it contained erroneous facts. Also Mimi would like to know whether ALG has decided to stay in Canada or not. Hungarian CALG 7/33.04 Köszeghy Gyuláné Gizella to ALG1970/1205 Months ago Gizella received a letter from Monostory Károly from Pécs, Hungary, asking her to forward it to ALG. She did not forwarded it sooner because she was busy earning her bread and was sick too. Moreover she feels uncomfortable forwarding this letter to ALG but she can't do otherwise. In 1957, ALG called Gizella after her husband's, Gyuszi's, death, offering words of encouragement. She has heard it from her husband that ALG has a brilliant memory and thus she thinks that ALG still remembers Mr. Monostory. Gizella's husband and Raszlaviszy Iván were good friends. Hungarian CALG 7/33.05 Dr. Gogolák Lajos to ALG1961/1204 Lajos still remembers when ALG and him momentarily met three years ago in Vienna, Austria. He is happy to learn that a common friend, Bődy Pál, lives in Vienna as well. He met Pál, ALG's former student and protégé, just couple of months ago. Lajos is glad to near that ALG still supports and advises Pál after so many years. Pál, to his detriment, is too good and too shy person, and thus needs ALG's advocacy. Pál, having known ALG for long, has been reassuring in Lajos' decision to write this letter. Lajos finds Austria's intellectual atmosphere cascading, dull, and not challenging enough. Thus this letter is also an inquiry concerning information about possibilities to be guest lecturer in the United States. His field is Central European Affairs. Should ALG have any suggestion as to who to contact first, he is to inform him, time permitting, and he will send his CV to the appropriate person. Lajos' move to America would only be temporary as he desires to teach at a university for one year only, preserving his residency in Austria. He would be very happy to see ALG again and invites him to visit him and his wife. Hungarian CALG 7/33.06 Z.A. Thoma to ALG1955/0305 Z.A. Thoma would be happy if ALG would write a letter of recommendation on his behalf, in English or Hungarian, and send it directly to the head of the Hungarian Department at the Headquarters Army Language School in Monterey, California. Hungarian CALG 7/33.07 Woracziczky Piri and Anti to ALG1956/0621 They are happy to note that they received the American emigrant visa and will move to America in October the latest. Anti wrote a letter with the good news to Lichy Czikan too. They hope to meet ALG soon in America. Hungarian CALG 8/01 International Research and Exchange Board - IREX1985-1989 CALG 8/01.01 R. Várkonyi Ágnes to ALG1988/0503 Ágnes is happy to learn that ALG has funding for his trip to Budapest, Hungary, including airfair. Both Prof. Székely and her think that the best time for ALG to visit the Eötvös Lóránd University would be in June. ALG would have the opportunity to attend the St. Stephen academic conference on June 20. Hungarian CALG 8/01.02 ALG to Dr.R. Várkonyi Ágnes1988/1001 ALG thanks Prof. Várkonyi for the invitation to Hungary. ALG's visit gave him the opportunity to catch up with the current research done at home and to visit many exhibitions. In addition ALG thanks her for her time and effort to share her publications and research with ALG. ALG thanks and appreciates Prof. Várkonyi's outstanding book, "The hiding Venus of Murány". ALG sends his regards to Prof. Várkonyi's husband. Hungarian CALG 8/01.03 ALG to Dr.R. Várkonyi Ágnes1988/0527 ALG's former student, Dr. Domonkos László, informed him about Dr. Várkonyi's outstanding scholarly research. ALG looks forward to meet her late August or early September. ALG had to combine his trip to Hungary with another trip to Münich, Germany, due to the ease off of the dollar exchange rate. ALG intends to stay in the same hotel as before and Prof. Székely knows his contact information there. ALG sends information about IREX engagement. Hungarian CALG 8/01.04 ALG to Prof. Dr. Győrffy György1987/0415 ALG, as a senior scholar, intends to apply for IREX travel grant in order to reach out to his fellow Hungarian colleagues and scholars in his field. He does not intend to give lectures or to engage in research. Thus ALG, still active, would like to receive feedback on his research. The money the IREX awards is, however, too little to cover ALG's costs in the expensive Budapest. He asks György to sign and to send the letter immediately to meet the April 30 deadline. Hungarian CALG 8/01.05 ALG to Dr.R. Várkonyi Ágnes1987/0429 ALG thanks Ágnes for her prompt reply to the director of IREX, Kassof. He also thanks her for arranging the invitation. The funds of the IREX awards are too small to cover the airfair. The IREX cherishes the hope that Hungarian and American scholars travel using their own private funds. ALG, too, will pay for his tickets himself. He looks forward to meet Ágnes in six months. Hungarian CALG 8/01.06 Székely György to ALG1985/1012 Up until today György and his colleagues had entertained the hope that ALG might attend at least the second part of the University's jubille. He sees now that ALG has other plans. But the president has prepared a golden diplome for ALG, which they planned on handing over during a separate ceremony. He thinks that ALG needs to visit soon to receive his diploma in person. György sends information concerning the cultural life of Budapest, including the transition of his committee into a Hungarian Academy Subcommission. Hungarian CALG 8/01.07 ALG to Dr. Fülöp József1985/1101 ALG thanks the President of the University, Dr. Fülöp József, the telegram inviting him to the 350th anniversary celebration of the University, offering ALG a golden diplome. Due to the high price of the airfare from Stuttgart to Budapest, ALG was not able to attend the jubille ceremony. He also had to travel to Brussels, where his new book is being published. ALG intends to visit Budapest in February or March. He will be bringing with him the first copies of his newly printed book as a present to the President and to the Academy. This would also be a good time to receive his golden diplome, his professor friends from the Hungarian Academia attending the ceremony. ALG has graduated under Prof. Eckhardt with Summa cum laude. Hungarian CALG 8/01.08 ALG to Dr. Székely György1985/1021 ALG congratulates György for organizing the exhibition, which was very successful. ALG begs pardon for not visiting Budapest this time. First, he didn't have the funds to by the tickets. Second, ALG had to fly to Brussels where his new book is course of printing. The title of the book is "The University of Paris and its Hungarian Students and Masters. ALG, however, plans to visit Budapest early next year. He intends to hand over his new book at the Hungarian Academy and meanwhile to receive in person his golden diplome. ALG asks György to suggest a date when he is able to attend this ceremony. György is also to send a formal letter of invitation which ALG will forward to IREX for a travel grant. ALG thanks György for the presents he gave at Stuttgart, Germany. Hungarian CALG 8/02 Otto Ladislas Gabriel1972-1987 CALG 8/02.01 Gábriel Eszter to ALG1985/0304 Eszter thanks ALG for the two books. Now she will be able to teach Eszter-Maria the Our Father both in English and in Hungarian. She sends a description of the San Carlos School that her daughter attends and encloses a family picture. Hungarian CALG 8/02.02 ALG to Dr. Gábriel Ottó and his wife, Terike1985/0228 ALG sends this notarized formal invitation, which states that he intends to cover all the travel expenses of his brother and his brother's wife upon their visit to the United States. He invites them for a three week visit. They need to forward this letter to the People's Democracy of Hungarian Passport and Visa section. Hungarian CALG 8/02.03 ALG to Gábriel Ottó1984/1115 ALG received the note of November 7 informing him that the family moved to California. ALG has his reservations concerning this sudden move. ALG is sad to note that Ottó did not say good bye to the family who invited them over for dinners many times in Dallas. The family called him and inquired about his nephew. ALG didn't know what to say. He encloses a picture of the tomb of Ottó's paternal grandparents, who were born and are burried in Pécs, Hungary. ALG asks him to keep the picture in respect since he would like Ottó to be an immigrant holding on to the soil of his ancestors. ALG does not want to interfere with Ottós plans in any way. He wishes good luck with his new endeavors. Hungarian CALG 8/02.04 Gábriel Ottó to ALG1984/0116 Ottó thanks ALG for the Christmas presents. He sends information concerning their new life as refugees in Dallas, Texas. The Hungarian community in Dallas helped the family buying furniture and a new car. Ottó invites ALG to visit. Hungarian CALG 8/02.05 Gábriel Ottó to ALG1983/1122 Ottó and his family lives as a refugee in Austria. They are emigrating to the United States. He is sorry for the misunderstanding regarding his sponsor. If he waited for the Catholic League to sponsor him, his immigrant visa to America would have become void. He will always follow ALG's suggestions, just like he has done it in the past. But in this case he was obliged to accept the sponsor from Fort Wayne. Ottó thanks ALG for his effort, the letters, and calls he made to the United States Consulate to obtain a visa for them. Hungarian CALG 8/02.06 Gábriel Ottó to ALG1983/1114 Ottó's is happy to note that they will depart on November 30 from Austria to the United States. They will fly with British Airways. He had to leave his dog and his car behind to his father, Ottó Sr. Ottó is sorry to have caused any inconvenience concerning their American sponsor. He thinks that this is resolved by now and hopes to see ALG soon in America. Hungarian CALG 8/02.07 Gábriel Eszter to ALG1983/1102 Last week Eszter and Ottó received the American immigrant visa at the American Consulate. ALG's name, as close relative, was not mentioned there. The Charitas, though, that is searching for sponsors in America did inquire about their relatives. They have political asylum in Austria and therefore they can ask for an Austrian passport. In three weeks they will leave for America through the Charitas. Eszter hopes to have a better life in America than she has had in Hungary. Ottó and she invited Ottó Sr. to visit them next year. Hungarian CALG 8/02.08 Gábriel Ottó to ALG1983/1026 Ottó is glad that the interview was successful and that they received the American visa. He thanks ALG for his guidance and for his help in this regard. The American consul inquired about their political views, which was crucial in letting them in the country. He informs ALG about the status of their sponsors. Depending on who sponsors them they could move either to California or close to ALG in Indiana. He is happy to be able to start a new life in America where the family will finally be free. Hungarian CALG 8/02.09 Gábriel Ottó to ALG1983/0907 Ottó sends this note from Austria where they are refugees. He and his family plan to emigrate to the United States. Ottó would be obliged if ALG would send a letter to the American Consulate there to help their case. Hungarian CALG 8/02.10 Gábriel Ottó to ALG1983/0922 Ottó thanks ALG for the money. After not being able to make a living in Hungary, now he is happy to work in the Austrian refugee camp. But the family would like to move to America. Therefore he asks ALG to call the American Consulate in Vienna and mention them that Ottó, due to his political views and religious affiliation, was persecuted in Hungary. He hopes that the interview at the Consulate, in three weeks, will be successful and they will be admitted as refugees in America. Hungarian CALG 8/02.11 Gábriel Ottó to ALG1983/0817 Finally Ottó left Hungary. They live and work at an Austrian refugee camp under the auspicies of the Government. They will seek political asylum. Ottó plans to move to America and used ALG's name as sponsor on the forms. He understands, however, if ALG can not afford to sponsor them financially, in which case the Charitas International Organization will do that. He sends his new address and asks ALG not to share that with his father in Budapest, Hungary -- Ottó had a misunderstanding with his new stepmother. Hungarian CALG 8/02.12 Gábriel Ottó to ALG1977/0401 Ottó begs pardon for not writing sooner but he has been very busy studying. He attends the University and has two majors, one of them sports. Ottó would like to introduce his fiancee, Eszter, to ALG as soon as possible. Perhaps they could meet in Yugoslavia this summer or in Hamburg in Germany. Hungarian CALG 8/02.13 Gábriel Ottó to ALG1976/1018 Ottó was busy this summer studying, working, and doing sports. He found a job with an American firm, where he got paid well for being a stunt man in the play Prince and the Pauper. He can't explain in this letter the reason why he was not able to travel to Yugoslavia to meet ALG. Ottó would like to discuss important family matters with ALG, but only personally. His father, Ottó, has been very ill for 3 weeks, but now is feeling better. Hungarian CALG 8/03 Otto Ladislas Gabriel1972-1987 CALG 8/03.01 Gábriel Ottó to Mr. Facsilek Róbert, Consul Ottó reports that upon his arrival at the Chicago O'Hare Airport he lost his luggage containing his passport w/ the American visa, travel documents, and airline tickets. He encloses the lost and found case report of the Chicago police. Ottó inquires about the possibility to reissue his travel documents before 1973/0811, when he intends to return to Hungary. Hungarian CALG 8/03.02 ALG to his brother, Ottó1973/0525 This is the last letter ALG sends before Ottós son, Ottó- László Gábriel, leaves Hungary for America. ALG asks his brother to show this letter to his nephew and go over his instructions very carefully. ALG is glad that his nephew will be his guest for the first time, taking a summer English language course. He sends information concerning his travel, trips to New York and Chicago, and his stay at Notre Dame. ALG thinks that America is expensive and that nothing is for free. He paid $1387 for his nephew's summer costs, including tuition. ALG made all the arrangements for Ottó László to have a good first impression of this country. Should his nephew need help while ALG is gone, he is to call ALG's secretary. Hungarian CALG 8/03.03 Ottó to ALG1973/0303 Ottó son has all the necessary travel documents that are needed to for his trip to the U.S. He thanks ALG for his letter and the travel plans. But he would like ALG to accompany Ottó-László on his transatlantic flight in June if at all possible. Hungarian CALG 8/03.04 Ottó-László to ALG1973/0321 Ottó-László just received ALG's letter in English. He thanks ALG for helping him attend the Summer Session at Notre Dame. He will be ready to leave for America after his final exam. He would like, however, to fly with ALG together to New York. Ottó-László thinks about ALG often and is glad to meet him again in the summer. Hungarian CALG 8/03.05 Ottó-László to ALG1973/0302 Ottó-László is glad to note that he recveived the American visa. He is very excited to travel to the States but first he needs to graduate and obtain his high school diploma. He will also write a thank you note to Prof. Klaniczay for helping him to obtain a travel passport from the Hungarian authorities. Hungarian CALG 8/03.06 ALG to Ottó1973/0314 ALG has made all the arrangements for his nephew, Ottó-László, to attend a summer course at Notre Dame. He will cover all his expenses, including airfair. ALG thinks it's imperative for his nephew to acquire a perfect command of English language and therefore he is willing to make this effort. ALG plans to show New York to Ottó-László while he is visiting. ALG sends this note to get his brother's approval of the trip. He hopes that Ottó will approve of it since his son needs to learn not only English but independence as well. As ALG needs to travel to Rome and Milan this summer, he will not be here with his nephew all the time. ALG intends to retire on September 1. ALG thinks that life is not as romantic as Mariska from Hungary thinks it is here in America. Life is cruel sometimes. And Ottó-László needs to see and experince that too. Hungarian CALG 8/03.07 Ottó to ALG1973/0206 Ottó begs pardon for his lag in writing but he was not only very busy but was laggard too. He sends information concerning the travel of his son. His passport application has been rejected. But now Prof. Klaniczay wrote a letter to the Ministry of Education asking for backing Ottó-László's trip. Ottó-László would like to imitate ALG in everything all the time and therefore Ottó hopes that he will be able to visit ALG this summer. He also learned about ALG's opportunity to visit Budapest in the Fall as a special guest of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Ottó congratulates ALG. Hungarian CALG 8/03.08 Ottó-László to ALG1972/1112 Ottó-László was happy to receive the notice that he is enrolled at Notre Dame. However, it is very difficult to arrange the acquisition of his passport so much the more that he is of military age. He asks ALG to get in contact with somebody at the Hungarian Academy. Should the academy back his application, he is to get a visiting passport for sure. Hungarian CALG 8/03.09 ALG to Ottó-László1972/1123 ALG sends information concerning Ottó-László summer plans. He thinks that they need to apply for his travel documents at the home office. The purpose of the trip is to learn English. In no case can Ottó-László's mother or father join him on the trip. It would not look good in fron of many America that an 18 year old boy hangs on to his mother. But ALG will be like a parent here and will take care of him. He will also guarantee Ottó-László's return to Hungary in front of the authorities. Hungarian CALG 8/03.10 Ottó-László to ALG1972/1109 Ottó-László asks if some arrangement can be made for her mother to accompany her in the summer. The home office will not let him travel on his own. He also needs his mother letter of invitation to be sent before December 2. He encloses two pictures taken in Austria. Hungarian CALG 8/03.11 ALG sends a letter to the Head of the Hungarian Home Office advocating his nephews visit to Notre Dame in the summer of 1973. ALG asks the office to issue a two-month passport to Ottó-László as he is personally guaranteeing his return to the country on August 15, 1973. ALG lists the names of leading scholars, living in Hungary, who can therein inform the home office about ALG. Hungarian1972/1123 CALG 8/04 ALG Correspondence1982-1990 CALG 8/04.01 Gál Gedeon to ALG1987/1223 Gedeon congratulates ALG on his eightieth birthday. He sends information concerning the material which was once in the Gyöngyös' archives in Hungary. Part of it is still the oldest Hungarian book collection ever and can be found in the former Orczy castle. The other part was taken to the Franciscans to Budapest, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 8/04.02 Dr. Nádas János to ALG1988/0115 János asks ALG to send his recent list of publications and a report upon his activities.

Hungarian CALG 8/07.05 Máday Béla to ALG1973/0323 Béla just received the copy of ALG's letter sent to August J. Molnár. He is happy that ALG has voiced his opinion about the lack of emphasis that is placed on scientific work and research at the Foundation. But he is shocked and unhappy to hear that ALG plans to resign. Béla asks ALG to change his mind. He lists the many undertakings he and the foundation recently started working on and for which they need ALG's help and advise.

Hungarian CALG 8/08.14 ALG to Klaniczay Tibor1982/1115 In Milan ALG attended to the manuscript Tibor requested.

ALG started to prepare the English version of his article for the Hungarian Studies review. Hungarian CALG 8/08.15 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1983/0103 Tibor thanks ALG for the information concerning the Ambrosiana manuscript. But the part he wanted is still missing from the microfilm sent by the Ambrosiana library in 1981. There must have been a misunderstanding.

ALG is invited to give a one hour talk at the Hungarian Academy in September. The theme of ALG's lecture per se is causing great anticipation as historians in Hungary know very little about Hungarian students in Paris in the Middle Ages. Tibor sends his travel plans and intends to meet ALG in New York in August again. Hungarian CALG 8/08.18 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1976/1004 Tibor begs pardon for not writing sooner but he was very busy attending conferences abroad and at home in Budapest. Székely György informed him that ALG will not pay a visit to Budapest this year and thus he will miss the Medievalist Conference. Tibor plans to meet ALG either in Rome, where he will be teaching, or in Budapest soon. Hungarian CALG 8/08.19 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1976/0617 Tibor is sad that they missed each other both in France and Italy in May. He would like to meet ALG on his next visit in October in Budapest. But he asks ALG to inform him of the exact date of his visit in order to make the necessary arrangements. He congratulates ALG for his distinction he received in France. Hungarian CALG 8/08.20 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1976/0506 Tibor is sending this note from Rome to thank ALG for his letter of 04/23.

Hungarian CALG 8/08.24 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1974/1106 Tibor thanks ALG for his letter, including his comments on Tibor's work on Pécs University.

December is the best month to pay a visit. A high ranking office-holder will put his signature to the invitation, but Tibor will be the one who makes all arrangements. Hungarian CALG 8/08.28 ALG to Klaniczay Tibor1972/1130 ALG intends to nominate Tibor as Corresponding Fellow of the Medieval Academy. Should this not cause any inconvenience to him, Tibor is to send his application until March 1. But ALG suggests not to talk about this among his Hungarian friends in order to avoid another Hungarian nomination. ALG is glad to hear that the Hungarian Academy accepts his conditions. Hungarian CALG 8/08.29 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1972/0719 Tibor regrets that they accidentally missed each other in Paris and Rome. This note is a formal invitation by the Academy for ALG to give lectures and spend two weeks in Budapest. All his friends and colleagues will by happt to see ALG again. ALG needs to decide, by September, whether to accept the invitation for 1973 or not. Hungarian CALG 8/08.30 ALG to Klaniczay Tibor1972/0428 ALG does not intend to publish or delineate his annotation found in his book about the University of Pozsony. But he will copy the microfilm containing this and will send it to Tibor. Then Tibor can work on it. ALG regrets that he does not have enough time to pay a leisurely visit to Hungary. He does not want, however, to make this trip in a hurry after being away for so long. Hungarian CALG 8/08.31 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1971/1101 Tibor invites ALG to visit Hungary, including his Institute and the Hungarian Academy. He asks ALG to let him know how, when, and under what circumstances ALG would like to visit Hungary. Tibor can make arrangements to be a guest of the Academy. There is the option to deliver a lecture or to give a series of lectures, whenever a convenient schedule can be worked out. Tibor's wife sends her regards. Hungarian CALG 8/08.32 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1971/0616 Tibor received the copy of ALG's book about the Universities of Pécs and Pozsony. He will write and send a review of it to the Publications in the History of Literature. There is a concensus among ALG's colleagues about ALG's fantastic scholarly efforts. Thus Tibor would like to invite ALG to attend a Rennaisance conference organized in his home town, Pécs, next year. The president of the organizing committee, Kardos Tibor, agrees with Tibor. ALG's Hungarian related reserach is very impressive. Hungarian CALG 8/08.33 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1971/0331 Tibor congratulates ALG for his election as member of the Bavarian Academy. ALG's student, Domokos László, visited Tibor several times and they often talk about ALG. The data having to do with Hungary that ALG came across during his research is fascinating. Tibor would be obliged if ALG would like to publish his most recent Hungarian related findings in a Hungarian literary journal. Next year Tibor will be organizing a conference in Pécs, Hungary, and invites ALG to deliver a lecture and spend couple of days in his home town on this occasion. Hungarian CALG 8/08.34 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1966/0121 Almost a year has passed since they have met in Firenze, Italy. Tibor inquires about ALG's book concerning Hungarian students in Paris. He also asks ALG's opinion about publishing Tibor's writings, dealing with Hungarian Medieval Literature, in English or in French. He thinks that the jubilee at ALG's hometown, Pécs, is a good occasion for him to visit Hungary again. Hungarian CALG 8/08.35 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1966/1202 Tibor hopes to meet ALG in France in the next couple of months, because he will be an exchange Professor at Sorbonne in Paris starting January.

Hungarian CALG 8/08.37 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1973/0903 Before he left for Canada, ALG's brother informed Tibor that he met ALG in Zagreb and that ALG asks Tibor to call the Medieval Institute from Canada. Tibor called ALG's secretary and left a message. Tibor is sad to hear that ALG has to postpone his visit to Budapest and his talk at the Hungarian Academy for January next year. They need to know, however, the exact date of ALG's trip the sooner the better. Tibor just met Domonkos Laci, ALG's former student, and they frequently mentioned ALG during their long conversation. Hungarian CALG 8/08.38 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1967/0928 Tibor sends a note from Paris. He was sorry to hear that ALG suddenly left for America, but hopes to meet him in the near future in Budapest. The newly published volume commemorating the University of Pécs in Hungary is incomplete. Unfortunately it does not include ALG's study on the same subject. Hungarian CALG 8/08.39 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1972/1211 Tibor thanks ALG for proposing his name as Corresponding Fellow of the illustrious Medieval Academy. But he thinks that his nomination is undeserved since he is a Renaissance scholar and not a Medievalist. He will, however, accept his nomination in case it goes through. In January Tibor will send ALG the draft invitation to his lecture at the Acedemy. The text will correspond to ALG's Hungarian phrasing. Tibor wishes a happy New Year. Hungarian CALG 8/08.40 Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1973/0611 Tibor will send his dedicated new book with ALG's nephew, who leaves for America in a couple of days. The Hungarian Academy of Sciences received ALG's letter and now ALG's upcoming lecture is in the center of interest. Tibor thanks ALG for his summer itinerary.

Nevertheless she writes this note in the hope that ALG will help her. She is an artist.

Hungarian CALG 8/17.04 Dr. Walder György to ALG1982/0324 Last Spring, György had an idea to organize, in collaboration with the American Piarist Provincialate, a private tour to Rome including an audience with His Holiness Pope John Paul II. This plan fell through partly because of the assassination attempt of the Pope but partly due to the fact that the private audience with the Pope could not be arranged. György would like to try the planned group travel again. He asks ALG for help to make it happen. Perhaps ALG, with the help of Father Hesburgh, could procure a Papal audience. Notre Dame's or ALG's participation in this endeavour would be fantastic. Hungarian CALG 8/17.05 Dr. Walder György to ALG1982/0308 György thanks ALG for his letter of March 1.

Hungarian CALG 9/01 [Publications, classes, and lectures of AL Gabriel] CALG 9/02 [Book Collection, Lectures, Articles, Letters]1975-1981 CALG 9/02.01 Report The Midwest Medieval Conference held its annual meeting in Toronto. ALG's inaugural, having to do with the Hungarian-French cultural relations before the crucial battle of Mohács, has been a great success. It was ALG who discovered the Parisian Professor's, Clichtove Jodokus', autographed anon manuscript that he has sent to Hungary. The conference concluded with a banquet at the Holiday Inn. Hungarian CALG 9/02.02 Őry to ALG1981/0406 Őry informs ALG that they don't own the "Theologia" in their library. But he asked his librarian friends in Budapest, Hungary, to look for it in the public library there. Őry was able to look up its call number in the Hermann-bibliography. Now he encloses a copy. The article, however, ALG inquired about was not easy to find. It takes a lot of time to obtain an article without a call number. Őry is sorry to note that his colleague and a great benefactor of the Hungarian church, Marosi László, has passed away. Hungarian CALG 9/02.03 Short Biographical Article about ALG Written by Dr. Dercsényi Dezső in the "Élet es Irodalom", Budapest, Hungary, January 24, 1981. Several years ago, Dr. Dercsényi read an article about the Premontré College at Gödöllő, which stated that ALG has passed away. He refutes this claim by writing, in the same paper, that ALG has recently congratulated him for his article. His real name is Gábriel A. László, where A stands for Asztrik. ALG assumed the name Asztrik when he joined the Order of Canons of Premontré at Gödöllő. But he is famous all over the international academic world as Astrik. ALG was Director of the French College of the Order of Canons of Premontré during WWII. He helped French prisoners of war by giving them shelter, food, and teaching jobs as well. After WWII the school was closed down by the Communist authorities and ALG left Hungary. In the early sixties, Kerecsényi Dezsőné, from "Kultúra", called Dr. Dercsényi, informing him that she has a client from the United States, who buys all their best books. The client would like Dr. Dercsényi to dedicate the books he wrote, before sending it to America. Dr. Dercsényi agreed, but said that he doesn't speak English that well. When he found out that the American client was ALG, he was releived and dedicated his books in Hungarian to him. Hungarian CALG 9/02.04 Márton Hugó to ALG1981/0408 Hugó thanks ALG for remembering his name-day and congratulating him on this occasion. In the midst of several movings, Hugó has lost the directory listing the assumed monastic names. These days most people, but not ALG, forget to celebrate religiuos name-days. Hugó congratulates ALG for his anniversary of professed Premontré Canon of Jászó that is coming up this year. He thinks that ALG intends to have a secluded, quiet celebration. Therefore, Hugó would like to send a telegraphic Papal blessing which is still is use these days. He asks ALG to name a "manu-ductor" for this purpose. Hugó spent his summer vacation at home in Transylvania, Romania. He learned from the papers of the conference and of the propaganda by the Romania communist regime. This propaganda uses distorted scientific results to proclaim the constant presence of the Romanian people in Transylvania -- the Daco-Roman Theory of Continuity. Hugó was also glad to hear that ALG presided this famous conference. ALG was perhaps the only participant, out of Western historians, who did not take the hook. Hungarian CALG 9/03 [Documents relating to Honors, Awards, Previous Work]1966-1995 CALG 9/03.01 ALG to Dr. Horváth Loránt Ödön, Prelate-Provost1992/0512 ALG sends his warm congratulations for the 220 years anniversary of the Keszthely High School. This school was led by the Order of Canons of Premontré from 1808 until 1948. He also sends his regards to the participants of the Conference on the History of Schools. Hungarian CALG 9/03.02 Announcement in the "Hungarian People" On the occasion of bestowing upon ALG the title of Doctor et Professor Honoris Causa by the Lórád Eötvös University in May 1994. ALG has recently sent a public letter for publication to the paper: ALG is glad to receive Hungarian books in his home in America as fast as somebody in Hungary. He praises the bookseller "Könyvvilág". He also inquires about the knocked over statue of Prohászka Ottokár. No matter how interesting, but ALG was sorry to see the interview with Faludy György in the paper. Hungarian CALG 9/03.03 Komlósi László Imre to ALG1995/1127 Imre regrets that he could not send the pictures earlier. It took some time until he tracked down and ordered these six photos from the MTI archives. He hopes that ALG will like them and that he will use them for the paper. Hungarian CALG 9/03.04 Article in the "Magyar Nemzet", Budapest, Hungary: "They were citizens of Europe"1995/1021 The article has to do with the 600 year anniversary of the establishement of the first university in Buda, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 9/03.05 Article in the "Magyar Nemzet": "Where Science is Taught Wisdom Reigns"1995/1025 Covering the 600-year celebration of the first university in Hungary held at the Lórád Eötvös University in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 9/03.06 Komlósi László Imre to ALG1995/0201 Imre is invited to the Northwestern University and to Wake Forest University to deliver a lecture series on public communication. While in the United States, he would like to travel to South Bend to meet ALG. He asks ALG about different types of transportations. Hungarian CALG 9/03.07 Vaszelovszky Albin to ALG1994/0716 Albin thanks ALG for the postcard with the shrine on it he sent from Austria. He congratulates ALG for his distinction bestowed upon him by the Hungarian academy. Hungarian CALG 9/03.08 Report in the Catholic European Hungarians Newspaper, "Életünk", (Munich, Germany) about ALG's honorary degree conferred upon him by the Lórád Eötvös University in Budapest at its recent convocation. Hungarian CALG 9/03.09 Pályiné Nagy Gabriella to ALG1994/0608 Gabriella thanks ALG for ordering the photos. She encloses the bill in English. She also asks ALG to send payment in dollars to the attached address and to her name.

He encloses a personal chack instead issued by his Chase Manhattan Bank, for $67, that is at least guaranteed to get to Hungary. ALG thanks for the pictures. Hungarian CALG 9/06.02 ALG to Dr. Székely György1994/0427 ALG thanks György for intervening at the University on his behalf to receive his honorary doctorate degree. ALG sent a letter to the director of the University, Szabó Miklós, thanking him for the invitation to the presentation ceremony on May 13th. It is a coincidence that, exactly 60 years ago, in the same Aula Magna, ALG defended his Phd with Summa cum laude. ALG is sad to note that travelling in his age will be difficult and he will surely be jet-lagged for a couple of days in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 9/06.03 Dr. Székely György to ALG1994/0412 György thanks ALG for the letters and the postcard from Paris. He sees now that ALG was not informed about the decision of the Lórád Eötvös University in Budapest to bestow the honorary doctorate upon him. He encloses 5 attachements for ALG's information. György hopes to see ALG soon in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 9/06.04 Dr. Székely György to Dr. Fodor Sándor1992/1117 In the past, Sándor welcomed recommendations of potential honorary doctor candidates. Now György reminds Sándor that ALG has been nominated but to no avail. ALG's biography and bibliography has been recently published in America, which would quicken the process of his nomination. Hungarian CALG 9/06.05 Dr. Székely György to Dr. Vékás Lajos1992/1117 Considering ALG's age, György suggests a convocation to bestow the honorary doctorate degree and professorship upon ALG, a decision that has already been made a while ago. ALG's biography contains only his scholarly work, but excludes achievements in his private life. György informs Lajos about ALG's heroic effort in helping French prisoners of war while he was in the Norbertinum and Budapest was under siege in WWII. Hungarian CALG 9/06.06 Dr. Fodor Sándor to Dr. Székely György1992/1119 Sándor supports ALG's honorary doctorate convocation, which will take place in May. Hungarian CALG 9/06.07 ALG to Dr. Várkonyi Ágnes1994/0425 ALG thanks Ágnes for her support and vote concerning ALG's honorary doctorate degree from his Alma Mater. ALG is happy to be noticed again by the Lórád Eötvös University in Budapest especially after the fact that the Universtiy degraded him, in 1960, to parochial-instructor. ALG was Stillman Professor at Harvard then. The Budapest University offered accommodation for ALG in May. ALG, however, will stay at the Forum Intercontinental Hotel. He would like to invite Ágnes and her husband to lunch upon his visit in May.

The report then describes ALG's short biography, including the fact that he personally knows Pope Paul VI. ALG is 80 years old. Hungarian CALG 9/08 Dominican Exhibit at ND (Notre Dame)1995 CALG 9/08.01 Karakas Péterné to ALG1995/1003 Péterné thanks ALG for his donation to the National Széchényi Library. The valuable book he donated, Familia Praedicatoria in the University of Notre Dame Library, enlarged the library's collection. Hungarian CALG 9/09 [Calling Card, program]1993-1995 CALG 9/10 Magyar Diakok es Tanarok a Kozepkori Parizsban CALG 9/10.01 Excerpt: Hungarian translation of ALG's book Hungarian Students and Masters during the reign of Louis XII and Francis I Hungarian CALG 9/11 Magyar Velemeny egy Kozepkori Parisi Disputan1943 CALG 9/11.01 Book on Medieval Norbertine Scholars by ALG1943 Printed in Pécs, Hungary. It is a copy from the 1942-1943 almanac of the Order of Canons of Premontré of Jászóvár, found in the Norbertine Gymnazium at Gödöllő. ALG stresses that the St. Augustine Order, which originated in Italy, has had a major impact on the Hugarian-French cultural and intellectual relations in the Middle Ages. There were several Hungarian magisters belonging to this order who studied in Paris later, such as Magyarországi Sándor and János. ALG intends to reconstruct in detail parts of a dispute that was so prevalent in Medieval intellectual and literary circles. Magyarországi Sándor, just like Arnould de Toulouse, remained in Paris for several years to engage in appeals, sermons, disputes over power, writing down his idea, observations and disgreements. We have remains of his Paris work from the notes of his devouted students as well. Consequently, ALG argues, there is solid evidence that Hungarians in the XIIIth-XIVth century were integral in the inspiring European intellectual, literary, and political life.

ALG describes Hungarian magisters studying in Paris, and the one-time cultural millieu by carefully construing medieval original manuscripts and codified texts of the Vatican. During his research in the Vatican Library, ALG discovered a collection of manuscripts by a Hungarian cleric and scholar. Using the method of textual criticism, ALG points out the manuscript's age (1270-1290) and its Parisian origin. Hungarian CALG 9/13 Magyarorszagi Sandor Mester A Kozepkori Sorbonne Tanara CALG 9/13.01 Book by ALG: Master Magyarorszagi Sandor is teaching at the Medieval Sorbonne University By close readings of XIIIth century manuscripts and by offering his interpretations, ALG construes the history of the Augustine Canonical Order of 1250-1290, the life of its monks, as well as the relation of church and state that was marked by an augustine political trend, the l'augustinisme politique. The Sorbonne (University of Paris) was the place where all Augustine Magisters exchanged ideas, tought their pupils, and offered sermons.

In Hungary ALG is, indeed, considered the Order's pride as there are only few Hungarians teaching at American universities. Mécs silver mass was a great success. The benedictine abbot was the celebrant and many people attended the event. CALG 10/21.03 Megyer Julia to ALG1974/0303 Julia inquires about the possibility of ordering ALG's book "The Medieval History of the Universities of Pécs and Pozsony".

Hungarian CALG 10/21.04 Canon Holbay Kasszián to ALG1973/1127 Kasszián has received ALG's letter. Unfortunately he does not remember Salgó Iván, a former premontre student of his. He sends information about Canon Zimándi and other premontre pupils. Kasszián turned 80 this year. Hungarian CALG 10/21.05 Canon Holbay Kasszián to ALG1971/1007 Kasszián read ALG's book. It is a truly scholarly work for which ALG needs to be acknowledged. Kasszián is 79 and thinks that he will not live long. Hungarian CALG 10/21.06 Canon Holbay Kasszián to ALG1971/1101 Kasszián thanks ALG for his letter. He is proud of ALG and always liked people like him: whose intellectual inquiry never stops. He is happy to see that ALG's scholarly work and high intellect is recognized. Kasszián's carrier centered more around teaching and training. He will turn 80 next year. Hungarian CALG 10/21.07 Albin to Canon Holbay Kasszián1971/1024 Albin writes a letter about the death and the funeral of their fellow Premontré, Imre, that took place in Vienna, Austria this September.

The more than 1,000 photos are nice and colorful and he can't stop turning the pages of the book. Hungarian CALG 10/21.11 Köves Ottókár to ALG1971/0506 Ottókár is sorry for not writing sooner but he was busy attending his ministerial duties. He sent in the check he received from ALG and now is waiting to be cashed. He thanks ALG for the present. He will spend it on books. Ornithology being his hobby, Ottókár asks ALG to send magazines and books on this topic. Hungarian CALG 10/21.12 Köves Ervin to ALG1971/0303 Ervin now has ALG's address from Bencus. He thanks ALG for the present and for remembering him. He is now the minister at Tornyosnémeti instead of his brother. Hungarian CALG 10/21.13 Zimándi István to ALG1971/0319 After not hearing from ALG for long, ALG's letter took István by surprise. He congratulates ALG for his wonderful carrier. István informs ALG about Ottokár's new name, Köves Ervin, and address. Unfortunately he is not able to send the Norbertine records as there are only two copies of it: Neither István nor the other owner want to give the records up. Hungarian CALG 10/21.14 Stefancsik Benedek Konrád to ALG1971/0301 Konrád has received ALG's letter and the booklet concerning his scholarly work. He will deliver ALG's message to Ottokár soon.

Hungarian CALG 10/21.16 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1965/0626 The class celebrated the 25th high school reunion at the Karpatia restaurant. Ottó encloses four photos. He is sad that ALG, their homeroom teacher, was not able to attend the ceremony. But he thanks ALG for remembering them, for the message he sent, and for his call that everybody so eagerly waited for. He attaches a letter signed by each Premontre pupil. Hungarian CALG 10/21.17 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1960/0605 Ottó wrote a few lines from the restaurant where the class was having their 20th reunion. Everybody missed ALG, their homeroom teacher. Ottó thanks ALG for the letter he has sent to the class. He encloses a letter with the student's signatures and messages to ALG. Hungarian CALG 10/21.18 Hoensch Lorand to ALG1965/0803 Lorand sends two photos of the 25th reunion hoping that ALG will recognize them. Everybody was glad to hear ALG's voice during the ceremony. Although there was not much personal information about ALG in his letter, his former students were overcome by reading it. Lorand writes a few lines about his family life and asks ALG to send a picture. Hungarian CALG 10/21.19 Aranyossy Béla to ALG1961/1211 Béla has just received Dragsits Ottó's letter together with a photo taken at the 20th high-school reunion. Ottó sent him ALG's address, among other fellows at Gödöllő and professors. The last time ALG and Béla met was on the train long time ago. He informs ALG about his life after WWII. Now he works in a mine in Canada. Béla is afraid to cause inconvenience by writing a few lines to Hoensch Lorand. He inquires about the whereabouts of other former professors. Hungarian CALG 10/21.20 Aranyossy Béla to ALG1963/1124 Béla thanks ALG for the book on Hungarian Saints. He has translated it from German to his wife. Béla is sorry for not writing sooner but he was busy with work around the house during summer. He also joined the "Christian Unity" commission and leads the boyscouts with 24 kids. Hungarian CALG 10/21.21 Aranyossy Béla to ALG1963/0212 To his great surprise, Béla received ALG's letter. He was waiting for it for a long time. While working in the mines, Béla met Nagy Laci, another former student of Gödöllő. Together they recalled persons and memories of their alma mater. Béla is trying to revive the neglected boyscouts in their hometown and plans to attend university in the summer. ALG has inspired him to choose history as major. Hungarian CALG 10/21.22 Balogh Ferenc to ALG1957/1002 Through the Red Cross Ferenc has received ALG's letter. He is happy to learn that there are two more Premontré students in Toronto where he now lives. If ALG needs a copy of Fáy Ferenc's book, Ferenc will send it him. More than one year has passed since the Hungarian fight for freedom has been crashed. Ferenc hopes that the conscience of the world is clear. Hungarian CALG 10/21.23 Balogh György, Bassy, to ALG1960/0502 György received ALG's address by coincidence through a new acquaintance. He is a former student of ALG and hopes that ALG remembers him from Gödöllő. His nickname was Bassy. He sends a short biographical letter to ALG informing him about the major events of his life starting 1933. He left Hungary in 1956 to Danemark. Since his wife left him, György lives alone in Oslo. Hungarian CALG 10/21.24 Berka József, Jóska, to ALG1971/0214 After not receiving any news from ALG lately, Jóska was happy to finally receive ALG's letter of 02/08. The President of Hungary granted permission to Jóska's son trip to the West. His son also receives $60 for every-day expenses. However, this will not be enough. Jóska asks ALG to wire-transfer $25 to his son's bank account to Budapest for travelling purposes. For Jóska, being Hungarian citizen, it is hard to come by dollars legally. He thanks ALG for making his sons first trip to the West possible. Hungarian CALG 10/21.25 Berka József, Jóska, to ALG1970/1220 Jóska thinks that ALG might be busy travelling and doesn't have time for correspondence. He heard from Ottó about ALG's and Ottó encounter in Frankfurt. Ottó, just like ALG, life the high-life travelling all around the worls. Jóska sends information concerning the whereabouts of common friends who graduated from the Premontré school. Jóska wishes to obtain a UNESCO scholarship that supports a 3 months round-trip in the USA. He asks ALG for his help in receiving the scholarship. Hungarian CALG 10/21.26 Berka József, Jóska, to ALG1969/1020 Jóska sends information about professors and students who attended the Gödöllő College of Premontre. Five years ago he met Molnár Péter at Pécs, ALG's hometown, who said that in his life he has not met anybody as intelligent and as smart as ALG. Jóska contacted Kallay Rudi in Germany as well. He learned from Rudi about ALG's and Rudi's coincidental encounter at a literary recital at the university. After many-many years of not meeting, ALG spotted Rudi in the crowd and called his name. Hungarian CALG 10/21.27 Bánhidy György to ALG1957/0309 Not speaking English, it took a while for György to hunt down ALG's address. He was happy to read ALG's answer and reassuring words. Unlike other Premontre medical students who forgot ALG after he reccommended them, György carries on the true Premontré education and doesn't ask for any financial support. Living in Atlanta, he is happy to be in contact with ALG. He asks ALG to advise him on where to publish the English translation of his upcoming book. He goes by a false name when he corresponds with his father in Budapest who is persecuted by the Hungarian Political Policy Force because of him. György would like ALG to wed his fiance and him soon. He appeared in television and gave interview to the newspapar under his nickname Beby. Hungarian CALG 10/21.28 Bánhidy György to ALG1957/0527 György did not receive reply from ALG to his two previous letters. He needs urgent advise as to how and where to start his new life in Atlanta. He considers attending medical school in France providing that he won't loose his citizenship. ALG is the only competent person to suggest a solution concerning finishing his medical school. His parents in Hungary ask ALG, through György, if he would get them in contact with the Gödöllő College of Premontre, or other private persons, who are interested in buying their assets in Hungary. They intend to emigrate to Israel. Hungarian CALG 10/21.29 Bánhidy György to ALG1959/0223 György thanks ALG for his encouraging words and for his help concerning the foundation at Georgia. He begs pardon for his delay in writing. He has been very busy studying for his medical exams, working and his wife being ill. He regrets that ALG's plans have changed and therefore they haven't met in New York. György informs ALG about his parents and other common friends who attended the Gödöllő College of Premontré. Hungarian CALG 10/21.30 Bánkúti Ferenc to ALG1959/0615 Ferenc thanks ALG for his prompt reply, his advice, and the addresses of the people he needs to contact. He will, however, not pull strings now as he has other plans to enter Canada as a radiologist. Hungarian CALG 10/21.31 Bánkúti Ferenc to ALG1959/0602 Ferenc inquires about the possibility of emigrating to Canada from Argentina as a professional radiologist. ALG most likely does not remember him because 14 years have passed and he wasn't even ALG's student. Nevertheless Ferenc asks ALG to write a recommendation on his behalf to Prior Van den Broeck in Quebec, Canada. He will not be a disgrace to his old Gödöllő College of Premontré. Hungarian CALG 10/21.32 ALG to Bánkúti Ferenc ALG agrees with Ferenc that recommending somebody who lives so far means recommending a stranger. But ALG understands Ferenc's motivations and would like to help. He sends the contact information of some of his former colleagues and students in Canada, who might be able to help Ferenc. Should Ferenc be Catholic, he is to contact the Canadian Catholic Immigration Office. Hungarian CALG 10/21.33 Bolváry Sarolta to ALG1961/0127 Sarolta's brother has worked in Canada for 11 years and now is ill. He has been inhaling paint at the car service and his lungs are in danger. Sarolta asks ALG to contact her brother, Jenő, and convince him to change jobs. ALG's fatherly advice perhaps will help him in this big problem. Hungarian CALG 10/21.34 Dr. Daniek Géza to ALG1968/0406 Géza received ALG's address from Dragsits Ottó and writes a few lines about himself. ALG has been his best teacher at the Gödöllő College of Premontré. The education, in genral, and the French language, in particular, are both very valuable tools that ALG tought him at school. He will be working in Paris for 6 months and sends his new address. He learned from Ottó that ALG will visit Milan, Italy, this summer. He hopes that they can make arrangements to meet. Hungarian CALG 10/21.35 Dr. Daniek Géza to ALG1968/0622 Géza thinks that his third letter might not have reached ALG at all. He thanks ALG for his effort to help him and for the money. As he right now is doing well financially he donated the money, in the name of ALG, to a nearby church. He sends his contact information where he could be reached at in France in the summer. Hungarian CALG 10/21.36 Daniek Géza to ALG1968/0721 Due to the ongoing protest in France, Géza thinks that his 3rd letter to ALG got lost in the mail. He regrets that they have lost touch and consequently haven't met. As he feels poorly he might end his travels in France earlier than expected. Hungarian CALG 10/21.37 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1973/1031 Ottó gives an account of the trip they made in France across Europe. He took ALG's letter with him in order to respond to it. He wrote it in French but then he never mailed it. He thanks ALG for his effort to help. Hungarian CALG 10/21.38 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1965/0520 ALG's pupils, who gradauted from the Gödöllő College of Premontré, will have their 25th reunion on June 12th in the Kárpátia Restaurant. Ottó regrets that ALG will not be present and asks him to send a letter about himself for reading in the restaurant. Ottó invited ALG's brother, Ottó, to the reunion for him to share stories about ALG. He will send a detailed account of the reunion and of his classmates. Hungarian CALG 10/21.39 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1970/0428 Ottó's class will have its 30th high school reunion on May 23rd. He would like ALG to send a letter, which he will read to his classmates. Perhaps ALG can call them that Saturday night. Ottó asks ALG to contact Gallavicini and tell him to send a letter about himself for this event. Hungarian CALG 10/21.40 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1970/0321 Ottó's class plans to have the 30th reunion in May. Should ALG make the big trip, he is to tell Ottó first so he can make a nice surprise for the others. He wishes happy Easter. Hungarian CALG 10/21.41 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1962/1212 It has been 22 years since ALG tought Ottó and the rest of his pupils. Ottó is glad to have ALG as teacher and mentor. Back then ALG's only concerns were to teach his pupils a proper attitude to life and share his knowledge with them. His students realized that learning is not a burden and enjoyed being together at Gödöllő. Now that they are out there practicing in real life what ALG taught them, his students recall the nice memories of their alma mater. But nobody has made such a nice carrier like ALG. Ottó is proud of his former professor. Ottó writes a few lines about his personal life. Hungarian CALG 10/21.42 Dragsits Imre to ALG1976/0825 Imre encloses an article that appeared in the Hungarian weekly "Magyarország". It is a report about their alma mater. Imre learned from his brother, Ottó, of ALG's letters and he also saw the pictures. Imre agrees with the content of the article that the Gödöllő College of Premontré was an exclusive school that provided superior education. Now its students are getting older, retiring, and becoming friends with their old professors. Imre regrets that many of his classmates left Hungary. He will spend the summer in New Jersey on a farm visiting relatives. Imre asks if ALG will make arrangements to travel to Hungary this summer. Hungarian CALG 10/21.43 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1968/0131 Ottó begs pardon for not writing sooner but he was busy with the burglary. The offender took everything valuable from the house but was not caught by the police. The case is dismissed. Ottó informs ALG about his participation in the resistance movement in 1944. 20 years later his was fired from his job because he resisted fascism. He asks ALG to spread the news among international historians: there are still many of us who consider participation in resistance to be a sin whether that to be true or not. Hungarian CALG 10/21.44 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1965/0612 During the reunion ceremony ALG's class signed and sent a separate letter to ALG. Everybody missed ALG. Ottó informs ALG about the reunion. He lists the pupils who attended and also those who didn't respond to the invitation, like Bolváry. Hungarian CALG 10/21.45 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1959/1212 Due to his grey hair, Ottó did not recognize ALG on the photo he recently sent of himself. Ottó is glad to hear that ALG can travel across Europe. He often quotes ALG by saying that at the Gödöllő College of Premontré there were three types of students: the outstanding student, who had to know more than his professor (who taught at universities before), the good student who had to know just as much as his professor, and the satisfactory student who had to know the textbook by heart. All the rest failed. Ottó thanks ALG for contacting Professor Paulay on his behalf. Paulay already sent two packages and medicine to his brother. Ottó intends to invite ALG's brother to the class reunion again. Hungarian CALG 10/21.46 ALG to Dragsits Ottó ALG was happy to receive Ottós letter. He asked Prof. Paulay in Vienna to be at Ottós disposal in everything. ALG is glad to hear about the plans of the 20th reunion. He will try to call. ALG travels a lot and therefore lost contact with some of his students. Yet he thinks of his pupils a lot and his only wish is to see them once more in life. ALG asks Ottó to keep the class together. He encloses a photo of himself and Michael Francois, the Gereral Secretary of the 1960 World Congress of Historians. Hungarian CALG 10/21.47 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1959/0908 Ottó's brother has been very ill. But the medication he received from the Caritas International keeps him alive. He sends the preliminary plans of ALG's class' 20th reunioun. Should they have enough money, Ottó will use tape recording during the ceremony. They would need a photo of ALG, and others who live abroad, for this occasion. Hungarian CALG 10/21.48 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1957/0314 Ottó received the package, which was packed with food. He thanks ALG for his help. He sends inforamtion concerning the life and whereabouts of Bolváry Jenő. Jenő's wife left him. Ottó asks ALG to contact him and do what he can for Jenő's spiritual welfare. Jenő's mother is very concerned about his son who lives in Canada. Ottó sends Endrey's and Hobart's address. He asks ALG to pray for the whole class when he says mass. Hungarian CALG 10/21.49 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1957/0216 Ottó made arrangements for the class to get together in the Mátyás Pince Restaurant. Many of them showed up and made plans for the reunion for the summer. Ottó sends information about his classmates. Unfortunately part of the National Museum and also the National Archives for the main were burned and ruined; an irreplaceable loss. Life in Hungary is the same as before the '56 Revolution. Ottó has learned from a lecture and from friends of the high standard of living in the West and in America. In Hungary, from his salary, Ottó could save up money for one attire per year. Therefore he was happy to receive ALG's godsend that was worth his one month salary. Hungarian CALG 10/21.50 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1957/0506 Ottó thanks ALG for his dedicated book, which he will look through. He wonders whether ALG or somebody else teared the 2nd page of the Introduction out. The reunion will be held on June 5th in a restaurant in Buda. He asks ALG to send a commemorative letter for the reunion. Hungarian CALG 10/21.51 Endrey Tóni to ALG1957/1202 Tóni received ALG's letter, the first in 17 years. He is glad to hear about ALG's many distictions and his fruitful carrier. Hungarian emigrants look up to ALG no matter where they live. He thanks for the South American article reporting on Tóni's carrier. Tóni corrects some facts and sends more information about his life in Australia after fleeing Hungary after WWII. Hungarian CALG 10/21.52 Endrey Zalán to ALG1971/0922 Zalán intended to write sooner but he waited until the photos are ready. He encloses two photos: one of himself the other of the farm he recently bought. He agrees with ALG on everything but one: if he stayed in Hungary he would be dead now instead of Prime Minister. He congratulates ALG for his academic success. He asks ALG whether he has read his book. Wass Albert wrote a nice appreciative commentary on it. Hungarian CALG 10/21.53 Endrey Zalán to ALG1971/0503 Two weeks ago, Zalán mailed his new book to ALG titled "Intermittent People". It is the product of 22 years living in emigrantion. He sends information concerning his life in Australia for the past 22 years, including his carrier in law and his family life. Zalán carefully treasures all those good things ALG taught him for 4 years at Gödöllő. Hungarian CALG 10/21.54 Paul Fábry to ALG1973/0205 Paul regrets not meeting ALG at the meeting and hopes to meet him soon at another event. Both Paul and ALG have unbreakable power for work and nice memories that they inherited from Gödöllő. Hungarian CALG 10/21.55 Paul Fábry to ALG????/0123 Paul's wife, Gaby, asked him to send the photo of her that appeared in the newspaper. If ALG had not have traveled abroad, Gaby would have invited him to the ball instead of John Roosevelt, son of President Franklin Roosevelt. Hungarian CALG 10/21.56 Fodor Barnabás to ALG Last time Barnabás and ALG met was 21 years ago. He congratulates ALG for his youthful work ethic and success. He wishes happy birthday to ALG. Barnabás asks ALG for help in contacting kids in America with whom his son could exchange postcards. Hungarian CALG 10/21.57 Fodor Barnabás to ALG1960/1202 22 years ago Barnabás's graduated from high school under ALG. Life has been much harder than he expected. He is sorry that ALG did not call the class at the reunion. Hungarian CALG 10/21.58 Fodor Barnabás to ALG1959/1201 Barnabás thanks ALG for the package and the present sent through Prof. Paulay. The content is useful and the family needs the extra cash to save for a home. He wishes a happy new year. Hungarian CALG 10/21.59 Galambos Pista to ALG1975/0407 Pista sends the poems written at Gödöllő in 1943 in gratitude for the kindness of ALG during his last visit in South Bend. He also encloses an article regarding the death of Prof. Dr. Zimándi. Pista is finishing his two courses with excellent grades, being true to a Premontré student. Hungarian CALG 10/21.60 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1975/1210 Ottó lists the name of his classmates and professor who attended the 35th high school reunion this May. He encloses few pictures as well. He writes a few lines about himself. Ottó begs pardon for not writing more often but ALG's absence for such a long time fades away common strands and memories. He inquires about the possibility of ALG visiting Hungary. Hungarian CALG 10/21.61 Kálmán Tivadar to ALG1975/1215 Tivadar wishes happy Christmas. He is sorry that they have not met in New York. He invites ALG to stay with them instead of in a hotel on his next visit to New York. Tivadar's sends this thank you card in gratitude for the help of ALG concerning his son. It is in a great part due to ALG that his son, Tamás, attended Notre Dame. Tivadar thinks that the University of Notre Dame will never find another ALG once he retires. Hungarian CALG 10/21.62 Holba Kasszián to ALG1975/0514 Kasszián thanks ALG for the present. He will celebrate his 60th anniversary of his Priesthood next May 27th. Should ALG make the trip and attend the event, Kasszián is to dedicate the high mass to him. Hungarian CALG 10/21.63 Hoensch Lorand to ALG1963/0526 Lorand is happy to hear that ALG is the most successful scholar working in academia among Hungarians living abroad. He congratulates ALG for his career. Lorand intends to meet his classmates again in the spring. Now he writes this letter from his bed as he has been ill with thrombophlebilis for nine weeks. He informs ALG about his family life. Hungarian CALG 10/21.64 Járomy Árpád John to ALG1973/0330 John sends his congratulations for ALG's new distinction as President of the American Historical Society. Since John graduated already in 1931, at Gödöllő, ALG might not even remember him. John inquires about a scandal that happened at Gödöllő College of Premontré during WWII between Kovács Lajos and Holba Kasszián. He doesn't know whether that to be true or not. He learned about the incident from another Gödöllő graduate 10 years ago. Then John wanted to defend his alma mater but didn't have enough information about this event. Should ALG remember that, he is to briefly explain it to John. Hungarian CALG 10/22 Godollo (Hungary) College of Premontre1953-1994 CALG 10/22.01 Kálmán Tivadar to ALG1957/0318 Tivadar thanks ALG for the information and the phone numbers he sent. Although Tivadar could not contact the people ALG mentioned in his previous letter, he did find a temporary job in the Hotel Essex House in New York. Tivadar is sad to note that his family in Hungary tried to flee the country again but were cought and sentenced to 11 days imprisonment. Tivadar was glad to learn from the paper about ALG distiction he received from the French Academy. He sends his phone number and asks ALG to call him when he arrives in New York. Hungarian CALG 10/22.02 Ujcsérnyi István to ALG1957/0709 István's student tried hard to find a scholarship in the United States. From Rio de Janeiro István thanks ALG for his letter and his help in finding a scholarship for his former student. But in the meanwhile his student, Tőkés Rudolf, found another scholarship. Rudolf will write a letter to ALG soon to thank him for his efforts. István received ALG's study and immediately sent it to Ecsődi for review. It will appear in the South American Gazeta Hungara. Hungarian CALG 10/22.03 Rohr Rudolf to ALG1970/0327 Rudolf received ALG's two books and his letter. He thanks ALG for the information he sent of their former schoolmates. Rudolf sends an inquiry about the possibility of his 13 year old to study in the Unites States. Rudolf would like to send him for a year to America to learn the language. He asks ALG for help in this matter. Hungarian CALG 10/22.04 Roller Kálmán to ALG1982/0622 Kálmán thanks ALG for the two books of literature. There were lots of information concerning education in them he didn't know. Through his work at the International Energy Commission Kálmán travels a lot to different continents. He invites ALG to visit them in Toronto, Canada. Hungarian CALG 10/22.05 Rohr Rudolf to ALG1970/0119 Rudolf was glad to receive ALG's letter. He congratulates ALG for his scholarly work. He is proud of his former Professor and his former College of Premontre as well. He informs ALG about his brother who lives in Germany and his parents who live in Vienna, Austria. They would be happy to receive newsletters about ALG's books. He writes a few lines about his life in Brasil since 1949. Hungarian CALG 10/22.06 Roller Kálmán to ALG1983/0710 Kálmán received the issues of K.M.V. most of which he will save for Ili whe she returns from Hungary. Unfortunately Party comrade Bisztray's communist propaganda, which is a hoax, deceives many young Hungarians these days. Kálmán wonders what needs to be done to remedy that. He invites ALG to Toronto. Hungarian CALG 10/22.07 Rezek Román to ALG1982/0104 Román recalls their last meeting that happened at the attic of the Rue de Jouy in France among American military boots. Since then he learned of ALG's wonderful academic success from the papers. He congratulates ALG for his Golden Jubilee of Ordination. Román received the tonsure only in 1940. He still guards ALG's old souvenir, his two books: the Existentialisme and the Bibliography Esthetique. Román wrote up the life of Pierre Teilhard in four volumes. Hungarian CALG 10/22.08 Szentannay Győző to ALG1982/1208 For Győző, the three meetings with ALG in 1982 were the highlights of 1982. First those few hours spent at the Margitsziget on a September night. The second was listening to ALG's lecture at the Hungarian Academy. The third encounter was those few happy hours spent at the Kárpátia restaurant. Győző sensed the old Humanum Maximum from ALG's every word, gesture, and smile. He will never forget these eight hours that they spent together. He hopes that ALG will attend reunions in the future as well. Győző, like other former students, will grant ALG's request to live a peaceful and content long life. Hungarian CALG 10/22.09 Simon Miklós to ALG1982/1225 Miklós feels nostalgic for the spirit of those wonderful years he spent at the College of Premontre at Gödöllő. He is sad to note the deterioriation of Hungary concerning religious education these days. Consequently it is invaluable what ALG and the Hungarian Catholic school gave to their boarders. He and his wife wish happy Christmas to ALG. Hungarian CALG 10/22.10 Simon Miklós to ALG1966/1225 Miklós is sorry that he is sentimental about his meeting with ALG. It is a rare and moving occassion when a former student meets his old teacher the first time after many years. ALG, having a great sense of humor, immense knowledge, and an unequalled receptive mind, gave Miklós power to fight to overcome difficulties through his whole life. Miklós invites ALG to visit their home in Evanston where his wife opened the Lili Simon Piano Studios. He wishes happy Christmas. Hungarian CALG 10/22.11 Simon Miklós to ALG1980/1225 ALG is the teacher next to Miklós's heart among the many he had at Gödöllő. He recalls an incident when his classmate, Kovács Laci, started to snack during ALG's class. ALG called him an uncivilezed, savage person and ate Laci's food while sending him under the teacher's desk. Before snacking, ALG cracked the hard boiled eggs on Laci's head. Miklós hopes that his alma mater will become a College of Premontre again after Hungary's liberation from the Soviets. Miklós informs ALG about the latest events in the family's life, like his new roles as an actor, and wishes happy Christmas. Hungarian CALG 10/22.12 Szarka Gábor to ALG1973/0405 Gábor thanks ALG for the few lines he sent from Toronto, Canada. Due to the weak and insecure dollar, he no longer works for the Canadian Security Management in Toronto. He sends his contact information in Copenhagen and hopes that ALG will visit his family soon. Hungarian CALG 10/22.13 Szentannay Győző to ALG1984/1120 Győző inquires about ALG's health. Győző, and the rest of the pupils, remember ALG's intransigent work ethic. The class intends to organize the 45th high school reunion in 1985. There is a great demand for ALG's presence on this event. Győző asks ALG to update him on his new research and academic work. Perhaps an invitation from the Hungarian Academy would make ALG's trip to Hungary less expensive. Győző is healthy but his wife recently had a bypass surgery. Győző's new hobby are personal computers and teaching programming. Hungarian CALG 10/22.14 Szászdi Lenke to ALG1976/0520 Lenke thanks ALG for the photo of his son, Adam, taken long time ago at the French Gymnazium at Gödöllő. She will forward it to him. She thinks that the French School of the College of Premontre was the old and free Hungary's pride. Lenke hopes that ALG attended the ceremony at the French embassy. It would have been a just reward for ALG since he saved many French soldier's life during WWII. Lenke thinks that Martha Graham did not deserve the French prize. She invites ALG for a lunch at the Carlton-Sheraton upon his next stay in town. Hungarian CALG 10/22.15 Simon Miklós to ALG1966/1101 Miklós just met Father O'Brien at a lecture in Evanston. He sends his greetings to ALG with Father O'Brien. Miklós was ALG's pupil at the College of Premontre at Gödöllő. He still remembers the good old days he spent in the boarding school. Especially he remembers ALG teaching French language. Whith his teaching ALG handed over to him an enlightened and progressive spirit. Now he is in actor. Miklós wife studied piano in Budapest under Kodály and Liszt. He invites ALG to visit their home in Evanston. Hungarian CALG 10/22.12 Stamberger Pál to ALG1967/0710 Pál attended the Kassa (Hungary) College of Premontré. The head of the school was Karsai Ervin. Pál still remembers the huge figure of the provost, Takács Menyhért. He came to the United States in 1939. He met couple of times Márai Sándor in New York, and the latter left for Italy. Should ALG pay a visit to Washington, he is to let Pál know so they can meet. Hungarian CALG 10/22.13 Szászdi Lenke to ALG19??/0316 Lenke read ALG's letter to her family. It was a great surprise to her that her son, Amádé, belongs to the upper third in his cohort. Should he be industrious and motivated in the future, he is to attend either Georgetown University or Oxford. Lenke and her husband might try sending him to the Premontré College in Wisconsin. Lenke invites ALG to pay a visit to Cleveland that they call among themselves Debrecen. Her husband, Konrád, likes Cleveland, but Lenke does not mingle with the Hungarians from Cleveland. Hungarian CALG 10/22.14 Canon Holba Kasszián to Albin1971/1020 Kasszián was sorry to hear that Paulay Imre died. He has said a homily for him. Albin's and Kasszián's prelates living in Hungary are very poor and ask for help. The Prior Finnegam has sent 100 masses to Kasszián, and the latter will forward this to the priest in the order. Hungarian CALG 10/22.15 Szászdi Lenke to ALG1960/0306 Lenke asks ALG to help her youngest son, Amádé, get into the University of Notre Dame. Her husband is protestant, but she is catholic. Lenke thinks that it is necessary for Amádé to be in a catholic milieu instead of a pagan one. Also the family struggles financially. Hungarian CALG 10/22.16 Uray János to ALG1953/1210 János intended to write before Christmas but was very busy. He thanks ALG for his commemoration of the South American trip. János is happy to learn from the paper that ALG will give a lecture series in Spain. János and his wife, Mary Lou, are well and talk about ALG a lot. But his mother is ill. She was not able to settle down in her new environment. János remembers ALG's talk at the inauguration of the Delhi Hungarian House. He agrees with ALG's observation: the Hungarian race is not a fallen race but instead carries strength and knowledge. He hopes to see ALG soon in Cleveland. Hungarian CALG 10/22.17 Ujfalussy Ödön to ALG1972/0311 Ödön and ALG have a common passion for the Middle Ages. Ödön sends an article that he wrote about the Hungarian-French relations during the Árpád era. This is a less known chapter of the Hungarian history. Ödön asks ALG whether he received the postcard he sent from Paris last year. Hungarian CALG 10/23 [Malloy - Old Correspondence]1994/1206 CALG 10/24 Cardinal Lekai - Titular Provost Correspondence1981-1986 CALG 10/24.01 Report in the American Catholic Weekly1982/1010 On ALG's appointment as Titular Provost of the 12th century church of Saint Michael in Budapest, Hungary. The ceremony of installation was led by the Primate of Hungary, Dr. Lékai László Cardinal, Archbishop of Esztergom, on September 27, 1982. Hungarian CALG 10/24.02 Márton Hugo to ALG1982/0331 Hugo wishes happy Easter. He thanks ALG for his kindness in remembering his name-day given by the holy orders. Hugo regrets that he did not send a papal-telegraph message to ALG for his Golden Jubilee of Ordination. Hugó sends many mea culpas. Hugó met Prof. Mezey, and the latter informed him of ALG's plan to celebrate his Golden Jubilee in Hungary. Hungarian CALG 10/24.03 Mezey László to ALG1982/1103 László wishes happy birthday to ALG. He thanks ALG and congratulates him for his illustrious work "Bellovacensis". Hungarian CALG 10/24.04 ALG to Dr. Lékai László1982/0811 ALG received the Archbishop's letter of 1982/0716. ALG would be obliged if the Archbishop would receive him between September 23 and 29, when ALG visits Hungary. ALG sends information of his stay in Budapest. During his lecture at the Hungarian Academy, ALG will talk about Hungarian clerics from Esztergom and Veszprém, one of them specifically from Zala. Once published, ALG will dedicate the book to his most eminent highness the Archbishop of Esztergom. Hungarian CALG 10/24.05 Mezey László to ALG1982/0804 László understands that ALG changed the dates of his visit to Hungary. He will be at ALG's disposal at any time before and during his visit. His eminence still holds the invitation but they agree that the lecture at the Hungarian Academy comes first in this case. His eminence made arrangements to travel to Rome on October 1st. His eminence sends ALG his kind regards. Apart from the two Premontré Bishops, ALG is the only Hungarian Prelate. His eminence intends to pay honour to ALG accordingly. László hopes to see ALG soon in Hungary. Hungarian CALG 10/24.06 ALG to Mezey László1982/0810 ALG sent a letter to his eminence informing him about the dates of his visit. Between September 23 and 29 ALG will be able to visit Esztergom at any time. ALG informs László of his talk at the Hungarian Academy. ALG asks László to convey this message to his eminence: ALG's main goal, while visiting Hungary, is to meet the Primate Archbishop. Should the Fragmentum Codicum get published, ALG will publicize it in the United States. Hungarian CALG 10/24.07 Dr. Lékai László to ALG1982/0716 His eminence is happy to hear that ALG will pay Hungary a visit soon. September 29th is a suitable date for his eminence too. He intends to have ALG's installation ceremony as Titular Provost then. His eminence plans to leave for Rome shortly after that for his ad limina visit. Hungarian CALG 10/24.08 ALG to Mezey László1982/0723 Unfortunately the dates that László suggested to meet in December will not work for ALG. ALG needs to be Europe in September and consequently would like to make the trip to Hungary then. The plane ticket to Budapest in December costs ALG's 7 months pension. It is out of question that ALG can make the transatlantic flight twice in a row. Also ALG has not yet received the invitation from the Hungarian Academy. Should this fail to arrive until 08/20, ALG is to postpone his trip to Hungary. ALG sends his regards to his eminence. Hungarian CALG 10/24.09 Mezey László to ALG1982/0702 By chance László learned from Székely György of ALG's visit to Hungary. If he knew about ALG's visit earlier, he would have suggested a December visit instead of a September one. His eminence, Dr. Lékai László, would have received ALG with due decorum then. László wishes ALG a pleasant time during his first visit in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 10/24.10 ALG to Mezey László1982/0514 ALG received László's letter from Hungary in 10 days. He is sorry for not writing sooner but he was traveling to New York. ALG sent a letter in Latin to the Primate of Hungary, Archbishop of Esztergom, answering to the Rescriptum. During Easter, ALG visited the Premontré Abbey at Daylesford. The librarian and archivist of the abbey is ALG former Phd student. ALG considers his eminence's appointment to Titular Provost a great honour bestowed upon him. ALG is personally very grateful for László in this regard. ALG intends to pay Hungary a visit either in October or in December. He asks László's advice concerning a good time to visit. Hungarian CALG 10/24.11 Mezey László to ALG1982/0406 László is sad to note that in Hungary and in Budapest, but especially in Esztergom, feelings run high due to ALG's long silence. At the end of Januray, his eminence from Esztergom sent the decision, in Latin, to appoint ALG to Titular Provost. Many people ask László about ALG's whereabouts and about his plans to visit Hungary. László would be obliged if ALG would inform him of the documents. They perhaps got lost in the mail. László encloses a copy of the decree. Hungarian CALG 10/24.12 ALG to Dr. Lékai László1982/0620 ALG will visit Hungary between September 22 and October 07. He wants to pay his duty to his Eminence then if he is in the country. ALG will fly to Budapest directly from Paris where he attends a conference. In Budapest, he also will give a talk at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. On Michaelmas, ALG plans a pilgrimage to the Church of Saint Michael Provostship on St. Margaret's Island in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 10/24.13 Mezey László to ALG1981/1118 Since München, László has made all the necessary arrangements concerning ALG's case. The decree of the nomination in proper Latin was finalized and a copy of it will be sent soon. László visited Rome on November 9. All is well both in Rome and at the Premontré Order in Hungary regarding ALG's appointment. They don't need to expedite the case in the office of the under-secretary because the conference has the law on its side. László thanks ALG for the rosary. Hungarian CALG 10/24.14 Mezey László to ALG1981/0609 László is sorry for not writing sooner but he waited to be able to send good news. ALG's Titular Provost appointment is all clear. The Primate of Hungary personally talked to Mgr Calmes in Rome about the case of titular provost. László reports on the momentary situation of this matter. He will follow ALG's good advice and will contact Mme Garand when publishing the "Fragmenta". Hungarian CALG 10/24.15 Open Letter from P. Werenfried Van Straaten to Cardinal Lékai1981/0607 Published in the Catholic Hungarian Sunday responding to the Cardinal and condemning him for his actions. Hungarian CALG 10/24.16 ALG to Dr. Székely György1981/0430 Klaniczay Tibor informed ALG about the kind procurement of György concerning ALG's appointment to Titular Provost. On January 6, ALG had lunch together with Michael Francois who will soon be nominated president of the Academie des Inscriptions et Belles Letters. Hungarian CALG 10/24.17 ALG to Mezey László1981/0429 ALG was happy to hear the good news about the St. Michael Provostry on St. Margaret's Island in Budapest. The church was renovated exactly 50 years ago. But ALG wants to know the final agreement between Cardinal, Archbishop of Esztergom, Lékai and Mgr Calmes in Rome. He also would like to know Rome's response to his nomination. ALG thanks László for being so instrumental in this case. ALG looks forward to see László in München in September. Hungarian CALG 10/24.18 Mezey László to ALG1981/0415 László's few lines are a footnote to his previous letter. There was an agreement made in Rome concerning ALG Titular Provostry of the 12th century church of Saint Michael in Budapest, Hungary. The Primate of Hungary will soon include ALG among the Hungarian Prelates. After Easter ALG will receive a written confirmation concerning his appointment. Hungarian CALG 10/24.19 ALG to Dr. Klaniczay Tibor1981/0428 ALG thinks that Tibor's skills both in the Renaissance Era and in diplomacy are beyond all praise. ALG thanks him, and also Székely György, for his help in finding a way to resolve ALG's Titular Provost nomination. ALG's visit to Hungary and his talk at the Academy depends on the time he is available. Dr. Angelo Paredi at the Ambrosiana is a good friend of ALG's. He sends his regards to Székely György. Hungarian CALG 10/24.20 Dr. Klaniczay Tibor to ALG1981/0330 Tibor intended to write sooner but he did not have any concrete information. He made arrangements concerning ALG's Titular Provost appointment they talked about in Bucharest, Romania. He contacted Székely György, who meanwhile talked to the Primate of Hungary, and Mezey László as well. ALG's appointment is in quite good shape along the whole line: both along the church and the state. Hungarian CALG 10/24.21 ALG to Dr. Mezey László1981/0421 ALG thanks László for his long letter. ALG is glad that László, as a consultant in ecclesiastical matters, assists him in the titular provost title. ALG is thankful to the Primate of Hungary as well for his support. Should László send a copy of the first issue of the Hungaria Sacre to Msgr. Robert Trisco to Washington, he is to tell him that ALG should be the reviewer. ALG plans to celebrate his Golden Jubilee in the St. Michael's Provostship in Budapest, Hungary. He thinks that László needs to contact Monique Garand concerning the publishing of the Fragmenta Codicum. ALG thanks László for contacting his Eminence the Primate of Hungary. Hungarian CALG 10/24.22 Dr. Mezey László to ALG1981/0324 In January, László learned from Klaniczay Tibor of the plans having to do with ALG's Titular Provost title. László knows the history and details of the conference of this title in Hungary. He sends the ecclesiastical regulations concerning titular provostships. Thus ALG will be entitled only to mitra simplex and not to pectoralet. His eminence, Dr. Lékai, presents the case in Rome as his own initiative. He also offers ALG to be the titular provost of the St. Michael's Church on St. Margerite Island as Zsa'mbe'k is already extradited. Hungarian CALG 10/24.23 ALG to Dr. Mezey László1982/0404 Palm Sunday. ALG is sorry for not responding sooner to his eminence's nomination but he was attending conferences. ALG leaves in a couple of hours again and will write a letter to his eminence upon his return. He sends László his travel plans. ALG plans to pay a visit to Hungary in December provided he will finish his presentation for the Academy. He is sorry to hear from Dr. Silagi that László has been sick. Hungarian CALG 10/24.24 Dr. Mezey László to ALG1982/0125 László thanks ALG for the memorabilia of his Golden Jubilee. He asked his eminence Cardinal Lékai and his chancellor, Canon Horváth, to expedite the Latin Rescript from Esztergom. ALG should be receiving it soon. In documenting his article, László's student, widely quoted ALG. László asks ALG to plan his trip to Hungary and inform him about the dates of his visit. Hungarian CALG 10/24.25 Dr. Cserháti József to Dr. Mezey László1982/0917 József was informed that ALG will visit Pécs, his hometown, soon. Sándor Mária, archeologist, has invited ALG. She plans to bring forward to ALG the excavation at the University of Pécs from the Middle Ages. But this a highly controversial matter both politically and academically. Should László talk to ALG, he is to caution him as to what extent he commits himself to the excavations. ALG is the only person who is a true authority in this matter. Hungarian CALG 10/24.26 Dr. Borovi József to ALG1982/0927 József would be obliged if ALG would accept his invitation, in the name of the Catholic Academy, for lunch on the 29th of September. Hungarian CALG 10/24.27 Dr. Székely György to ALG1982/0921 György hopes that ALG's trip in Europe will be pleasant. He also hopes that it will not wear him out. Everything in Budapest will be new but old for ALG. György and ALG's other friends will help ALG to get over the initial convulsion. György intends to arrange ALG's Hungarian engagements, including the trip to Pécs. Hungarian CALG 10/24.28 Dr. Mezey László to ALG1982/0924 László encloses the material concerning the Pécs excavation. He thinks that Sándor Mária's discovery of the Middle Age enclaves at Pécs is very nice. László wishes a nice trip to Hungary. Hungarian CALG 10/25 USA1994-1998 CALG 10/25.01 Dr. Bánlaki György to ALG1994/1227 The President of Hungary, Dr. Göncz Árpád, sends his personal greetings and wishes happy new year.

Csorba to ALG1996/1026 Dominic thanks ALG for his visit and for dinner. He encloses a photo taken at the restaurant. Hungarian CALG 10/27 [Godollo Old Corres.]1998/0219 CALG 10/27.01 Dr. Igaly György to ALG1998/0219 The article that ALG wrote about György honoured him. György thinks that he did not earn ALG's praises. Hungarian CALG 10/28 Max - Planck - Institut Fur Geschichte1993 CALG 10/29 Jaszo Godollo Copies1991-1996 CALG 10/29.01 Huszár Ottó to ALG1995/0515 Ottó thanks ALG for the article having to do with the victims of the bombing of Dresden, Germany. He was also glad to receive Habsburg Ottó's writing in the paper. He sends information of the current political situation. Hungarian CALG 10/29.02 Szentannay Gyözo" to ALG1995/0427 Gyözo" thanks ALG for the newspapers and also for ALG's selected essays about medieval universities. Gyözo" recalls ALG lecturing on the same topic at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences where many of his former students from Gödöllő were present. Gyözo" sees the current political situation in Hungary as being the same as the one in the past 43 years: there are many poor senior citizens already and the Bokros plan will lead to an economic disaster, causing more poverty. He will soon not be able to pay the utilities from his pension. He sends information about the upcoming 55th high school reunion. In the meanwhile Gyözo" translates articles from the National Geographic magazin. He looks forward to meet ALG at the reunion. Hungarian CALG 10/29.03 Huszár Ottó to ALG1995/0315 Ottó received the letter and the articles. He will follow ALG's advice and will not send more books and articles due to expensive postage. Yet he wanted ALG to have a new book that deals with Hungarian students' relocation to Dresden from Budapest in December 1944 where they spent almost a year. Ottó too, being a politechnic student at that time, lived through the bombing of Dresden by the allies. Later he received a "displaced person" pass. This year will be the 50th anniversary of the Dresden bombing and of the "fall" of Budapest. Ottó encloses a letter sent to Fény Ottó inviting him to a commemorating ceremony. He also sends ALG an article written by a former Hungarian politechnic student recollecting his memories of the time when he was in Germany at the end of WWII. The article is written by Sebestyén Béla. Hungarian CALG 10/29.04 Huszár Ottó to ALG1995/0111 Ottó encloses several newspaper articles that show that in Hungary, being under socialist control again, there are still many who advocate the Christian faith and the return of true Hungarian values. He has visited Kassa, Slovakia, on the occasion of a Premontré 50th graduation reunion. He is glad to note that Kassa has a Hungarian language high school and that the common life of the Norbertine Order is restored again. Hungarian masses are held at the Church on a regular basis. He encloses his engineering diploma that has the new seal with the cross on it. Hungarian CALG 10/29.05 Baron Uray János to ALG1994/0812 It was 30 years ago when János and ALG met the last time. János is happy to hear from Oelschlager István that ALG lives in the United States, like he and his family. János will fly to Budapest in September to attend his 50 reunion. He sends information of his close family in Cleveland and extended family in Budapest. János would like to be recompensed for the loss of the old Uray's family estates and castles at the end of WWII. He tries hard to find a competent lawyer in Budapest. János sees ALG as his best professor who taught him to embrace the slogan "Virtute Vinces". Hungarian CALG 10/29.06 Haydu Zoltán to ALG1996/0325 Zoltán and his family spent seven weeks in South America. They have been attacked by gunned robbers and kept hostage for days. But they survived the attack. Zoltán would like to know whether ALG will attend their 60th reunion anniversary. He will stay with his wife in the Termal Hotel. Should ALG decide to make the trip, he is to stay with them in the hotel and be their guest. The mass will be held in the Church of St. Michael's on the Island of St. Margarite where ALG is Titular Provost. He is sad to note that Ravasz László died in January. He hopes to see ALG in Hungary in June. Hungarian CALG 10/29.07 Huszár Ottó to ALG1994/0105 Ottó thanks ALG for his support of disabled Hungarian painters. He deposited the money in their state bank account. Ottó was informed by Dr.Szablya that Pécs, ALG's hometown, is sponsored by Seattle in America. Ottó asks ALG to contact his friend, Dr.Szablya who also lives in America. Hungarian CALG 10/29.08 Huszár Ottó to ALG1995/1128 Ottó received the articles that appeared in the "American Hungarians". He thanks ALG for the German review of the Grassalkovich castle. Ottó sends a poem by Mécs László that appeared in "Kisalföld". He also encloses two articles in German (one in Technische Universitat Dresden and the other in Dingolfinger Anzeiger) about the nostalgic trip of some Hungarians to Dresden and Southern Germany commemorating the times at the end of WWII. The articles recall the American entry in Southern Germany. Unfortunately Ottó did not take part in this trip as he was away on vacation in Greece. He wishes happy Christmas. CALG 10/29.09 Haydu Zoltán to ALG1995/1214 Zoltán sends information concerning his travels around the world. With his family he spent eight weeks in the Far East. He sees now that in China the wages are extremely low -- between 0.3 and 1.3 dollars/hour -- and no country can compete with that. He inquires about ALG's plans for the summer. His class that graduated at Gödöllő will have his 60th graduation reunion in June. Hungarian CALG 10/29.10 Baron Uray János to ALG1994/1215 The pictures that János sends are ALG's Christmas present. They are signed on the back. János's is sad to note that before Thanksgiving his grandson was diagnosed with leuchaemia. He wishes happy Christmas and good health for the new year. Hungarian CALG 10/29.11 Newsletters and Brochures Having to do with the newly restored Saint Norbert Gymnasium at Gödöllő, Hungary, being under the direction of the Premontré(Norbertine) Order. The Order was suppressed after the Soviet occupation and the school was closed and confiscated in 1948. Hungarian CALG 10/29.12 Dr. Ravasz László to ALG1994/0725 László begs pardon for his delay in writing but he was ill. He has spent many months in the hospital. Yet his Parkinsons disease is getting worse. He is sad to note that many of his former classmates died last year. The class should be organizing the 60th high school reunion, but it seems that only those who live abroad are fit to do that. László's granddaughter thanks ALG for the present. In return she painted an icon for ALG. László thinks that the Hungarian society is heading towards a wrong direction. Unfortunately the politicians have depraved the country and now is difficult to teach values, likes integrity, to the young. László thanks ALG for keeping the faith in him to love his country. Hungarian CALG 10/29.13 Dr. Ravasz László to ALG1995/1215 László is sorry for not writing so often this year. Due to his pulmonary disease he spent lots of time in the hospital and he is now very week. He thanks ALG for the newsletter, which he immediately circled round the old boys. László learned from Bajor Pityu of the possibility that ALG will not make the trip for the gaudy next year because he is ill. Perhaps they will ask Fényi Ottó to say the high mass. He lists the name of his classmates who will attend the ceremony. László wrote down his first hand experiences of Gödöllő from 1928 until 1936 and sent it to Fényi Ottó. He sends his New Year's greetings to ALG. Hungarian CALG 10/29.14 Baron Uray János to ALG1996/0116 János thanks ALG for his Christmas card. He is sorry for his delay in writing but he was busy attending his ill grandson. He sends information concerning his friends and family. He attaches an excerpt from a letter about his mother, who is gone now, per ALG request. As far as the reunion is concerned, he intends to make the trip to Gödöllő with his wife, Mary Lou. János thinks that he and his former fellows at Gödöllő don't fit in this new and modern world setting. He sends his New Year's greetings. Hungarian CALG 10/29.15 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1996/0325 Ottó thanks ALG for his letter and for his condoneing words. He learned from Huszár Ottó of ALG's plan to visit Budapest in June. He asks ALG to attend the big get-together of the old boys held on June 9th despite his feelings of resentment. Unfortunately two of his former classmates have died recently. Hungarian CALG 10/29.16 Huszár Ottó to ALG1996/0426 Ottó has spread the news about ALG's visit to Budapest. Everybody looks forward to see ALG visit his old school. Ottó invites ALG to visit not only Budapest but the new high school at Gödöllő as well. He sees now that ALG is outraged that the St. Norbert Order was not successful in getting its old buildings back from the state. Yet the Premontré Order in Hungary is lucky to have raised money from donations and from the restitution. The Order built a new school and obtained the licence for starting higher education in the building. Ottó encourages ALG to revisit Gödöllő, including the St. Norbert Church and the new school. He encloses an invitation to the old boys reunion on June 8th. Hungarian CALG 10/29.17 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1996/0505 Ottó is sad to hear that ALG is ill and, therefore, will not be able to make the trip to attend the reunion in June. He will inform the rest of the class of this. The reunion will be held at Ottó's home, 10 to 12 people attending. Hungarian CALG 10/30 [Hungarian Correspondence]1994-1999 CALG 10/30.01 Ifj. Fekete István to ALG1996/0517 István, as a former student of the Premontré Gymnazium at Gödöllő, sends a biographical sketch and news about his family. He received ALG's request to write sometime a correction to his article stating that not all Premontré Canons at Gödöllő were rude and rough in their look and behavior. István did send a correction to the newspaper. However, he was right when he wrote that his former Professor, Prof. Wéber, smacked him on face several times. István, having said that, did not want to generalize this attitude to all Canons of Gödöllő. He encloses several praising reviews of his two recent novels. He regrets that ALG was never invited to give a talk at the Chicago St. Stephen's Church. Dr. Mihályi Gilbert, the head of the church, claimed for years that ALG would not accept such invitation anyway as he is very busy traveling around the world. Hungarian CALG 10/30.02 Drasits Ottó to ALG1996/0715 Ottó and his former classmates met twice this year. He lists those who attended the reunion. He received ALG's letter on June 4th. Ottó forwarded the second letter to Fényi Ottó. ALG's copy of the newspaper article was also displayed at the reunion. The atmosphere of the get-together was very pleasing. The state delays the restitution payments therefore the works at the new denominational school at Gödöllő have stopped. Hungarian CALG 10/30.03 Ifj. Fekete István to ALG1996/0705 István thanks ALG for his last letter and for his kind, reassuring words. In his most recent "Magyarság" article, István only intended to thank ALG and the rest of his former professors for the priceless values he received from them long time ago. In the future, while writing his commentaries under the separate heading "Amerika, Oh...", he will be thinking of entertaining ALG. He wishes to meet ALG at a Saint Norbert day celebration soon. Hungarian CALG 10/30.04 Márton Hugó to ALG1999/0318 Hugó wishes happy Easter. He thanks ALG for the articles about Hungary. Living in Rome, he is not well informed of his former country. His friends are still afraid to inform Hugó of major events when sending correspondences. Hugó has undergone two eye surgeries and now is almost blind. Hungarian CALG 10/30.05 Daniekné Piroska to ALG1997/0312 Piroska sends a note of her husband's, Géza's, death in January. During his illness, Daniek Géza was grateful for ALG's letters and reassuring words. He was always fond of his former Professor, ALG. Hungarian CALG 10/30.06 Huszár Ottó to ALG1996/1026 Ottó informs ALG of the current political situation in Hungary. He learned from the Hungarian press that Tom Lantos is the representative of Hungarian interests in the White House. He encloses two articles from the weekly "Hungarian Forum". Hungarian CALG 10/30.07 Huszár Ottó to ALG1996/0709 Ottó thinks that the Saint Norbert Day celebration at Gödöllő was successful. Ottó is sorry to hear from ALG's secretary that ALG is in the hospital. He sends news having to do with the political and technical intelligentsia, and related magazines, from Hungary. He is sorry for bothering ALG with so many different themes and articles, but he would like him to be informed of the current situation. Hungarian CALG 10/30.08 Highlight of Ifj. Fekete István's novel "Castaway Nation"1996/1026 About the 1956 revolution. Hungarian CALG 10/30.09 Bartal Károly Tamás to ALG1996/0604 Tamás thanks ALG for the care and attention he encompasses the Jászó Diocese with. They received every consignment of ALG. Hungarian CALG 10/30.10 Márton Hugó to ALG1996/0501 Hugó begs pardon for his delay in writing. He thanks ALG for the name-day greetings and for the "American Hungarian" weekly articles. He learned form a student of ALG of ALG's trip to Budapest in June. This would be a good time for ALG to visit Gödöllő as well and forgive those who offended him. Hugó advises ALG not to be resentful and to make the trip on June 8th. He would like to send a telegramm message containing the Pope's blessing and he asks ALG to fill out the necessary form for this. Hungarian CALG 10/30.11 Ifj. Fekete István to ALG1997/0417 István is happy to hear that ALG likes his writings. He would like to stand all demands of his former professors and his father, who was Hungary's paramount writer. István intends to publish his novel in Hungary, however he will not benefit from it financially. He congratulates ALG for his past and future decorations. Hungarian CALG 10/30.12 Ifj. Fekete István to ALG1996/0805 Although István feels honoured by ALG's offer to thee and thou him, he will not be able to do that. Many students from Gödöllő, including István, hold ALG in venerations and liked him a lot, unlike most of their Canon Professors. István hopes that ALG will enjoy his commentaries for many years to come. He thanks ALG for the satiric qualms about Bill Clinton. Hungarian CALG 10/30.13 Dr. Igaly György to ALG1997/0505 György learned from Dragsits Imre of ALG's visit to Budapest. He invites ALG, as honorary guest, to their 65th high school reunion at Gödöllő on June 8. He attaches an invitation to the ceremony and asks ALG to send the required forms back soon. Hungarian CALG 10/30.14 Endrey Gyula to ALG1997/0130 Gyula would be very happy to see ALG in June and invites him to the reunion. He sends information concerning the 50th anniversary of the last Matura in the French College at Gödöllő. He asks ALG to celebrate mass at the St. Michaels Church in Budapest. After mass on Sunday, June 8th, the class will gather in a restaurant for an informal lunch. Gödöllő would be the best location, but Gyula understands ALG's reservation of not entering the territory of his former French College again. He asks ALG to send his preferences and advice regarding the ceremony to be able to accomodate them. Hungarian CALG 10/30.15 Endrey Gyula to ALG1997/0430 Gyula is happy to hear that ALG will attend the anniversary. The Saint Margarite's Island restaurants are very expensive therefore the class will meet at the "Vasmacska", which is affordable to everybody. Gyula will make arrangements for ALG to have a good time upon his visit. Hungarian CALG 10/30.16 Fejéregyházi Mándy Szabolcs to ALG1999/0419 Szabolcs thanks for ALG's encouraging words concerning the commemorating yearly Almanach Szabolcs is putting together. He sends information of his family life. Szabolcs hopes to see ALG in America or at Gödöllő again. Hungarian CALG 10/30.17 Huszár Ottó to ALG1997/0810 Ottó sends some articles that he cut out from major Hungarian post-Communist papers. The themes are typical of Hungary. The maverick weekly "Magyar Forum" targets a small strata of the society, mainly Christian intellectuals with a strong nationalist bias. This paper regularly runs articles that cluster two Hungarian speaking mobs living in Hungary: the Romas and Jews. One of these cluster of people has been constantly asking, since 1945, for compensation in satisfaction of wrongs done during WWII. Ottó thinks that every article of this paper is worthy of note. He will receive his Golden Diplome on September 5 at the Hungarian Technical University in Budapest and encloses a copy of the University president's note. Hungarian CALG 10/31 [Correspondence]1975-1982 CALG 10/32 [Correspondence]1983-1994 CALG 10/32.01 Szentannay Győző to ALG1985/1219 Győző sends his New Year's greetings and good wishes for Christmas. Up until recently Győző had entertained the hope that the class might organize the 45th high school graduation reunion. He sees now that a meeting of former students of ALG will not happen. But he would like to meet ALG soon either at Budapest or Gödöllő. Hungarian CALG 10/33 [Programs: "The Scholarship and Achievements of Abbot Artik L.

József has given a letter to Szabadka Medárdka so he can forward it to ALG. Albin encloses this letter and sends his New Year's greetings. Hungarian CALG 12/01.02 Kovács to Veszelovszky Albin1977/0109 The pastor of Görgö informs Albin of the death of their fellow confrere Tóth Alajos. Hungarian CALG 12/02 [Correspondence and Publicity]1958-1976 CALG 12/02.01 Kiss Ágnes to ALG1958/0801 Ágnes thanks ALG for his encouraging words he wrote in her guest book at the exhibition. She is glad that ALG liked her paintings and that he picked one to buy. Although it is contrary to the practice of geniune artists to accept royalty fees for their work, Ágnes nevertheless asks ALG to inform her of the fee he is willing to pay for the picture. She is pushed for money. She sends a short biography. Hungarian CALG 12/02.02 "Possonyi László 70 years ago" by Hegyi Béla Retrospect of the major events of Possonyi László's past on the occasion of his birthday. Hungarian CALG 12/02.03 Simon Ernő to ALG Ernő received ALG's letter. He is happy that ALG thinks of them. He would like to see ALG and invites him to visit Szeged, Hungary. Tha family plans to travel to Greece this summer. They would also like to travel to America, but a trip -- through the travel agency -- would cost them as much as the price of a new car. The Simon family is not able to afford that. Hungarian CALG 12/03 [Hungarian Correspondence]1955-1957 CALG 12/03.01 Dr. Pandúr Ilona to ALG1956/0216 Perhaps due to the revolution in Hungary, Ilona has not received an answer to her previous letter. Now she sends a few lines asking ALG for help. The person, who brings the letter, is Ilona's husband's cousin and he is the one ALG needs to help out. His name is Szentistvány László and is now in exile in Bezdan, Yugoslavia. But he wants to leave for the United States. Ilona asks ALG to find him in the refugee camp and to offer help. She does not have any news of Ottó. Hungarian CALG 12/03.02 Karánszebesy Gyuláné to ALG1956/1219 Gyuláné would have written sooner, but she had to get over her difficulties first. Since she does not have any news of her son and his family, she thinks that their escape fell through and that the family stayed in Hungary. She inquires about Ottó. Gyuláné would like to know if he fled the country to join ALG or not. Gyuláné remembers the good old days at Pécs, Hungary, when she took long walks around the vineyard. Once Gyuláné has met ALG's parents. She was touched by ALG's mother deep piety as she remembered her son, ALG, who recently took the monastic vows. Gyuláné wishes happy Christmas. Hungarian CALG 12/03.03 Dr. Pandúr Ilona to ALG1956/0805 Since Ilona thinks that ALG might not remember her, she sends a few lines introducing herself. She met Ottó a year ago in Budapest, Hungary, and learned from him of ALG. Ilona thinks that it is good to think of the past sometimes and to keep in touch with old acquaintances. She hopes that ALG will send a letter soon. Hungarian CALG 12/03.04 Szénásy Piroska to ALG1956/0210 Piroska's informs ALG of the major events in her life. Piroska is concerned about her health and her financial future and would like to ask ALG for help. ALG might be able to collect money on her behalf. Piroska never thought that she would ask for money in her life. Hungarian CALG 12/03.05 Márton Hugó to ALG1955/1220 Hugó thanks ALG for the check. He thinks that ALG's visit to Rome was successful. Rodriguez silence and lack of comment during the visit just affirms ALG's success. Hugó agrees with ALG that the 50 cent membership fees payable to the Hungarian Historical Society will not end up in the pocket of the Order. But Hugó wishes that the Society at least should serve Hungarian interests. He informs ALG of the initial reforms concerning the decrees of the Order. The reforms have caused discord within the Premontré Order in Rome. He wishes happy Christmas and sends his new Year's greetings. Hungarian CALG 12/03.06 Pálinkás László to ALG1956/0915 László would like to publish a spread in the 1956 Corvinas as ALG have requested. The advertisement of ALG's book would cost him $16, which is a reduced price especially for ALG. Also László runs a shorter book review written by Prof. Crinó in Florence. Should ALG decide to write a study of Várdai Balázs, he is to do it before October 15 in 10-20 pages. László will translate it to Italian. He thanks ALG for sending information of the Rockefeller foundation. Since Corvinas is the only foreign language Hungarian literary paper, László thinks he needs to do everything to keep it alive. He asks for membership payment. Hungarian CALG 12/04 [Correspondence -- Foreign Languages]1960-1964 CALG 12/04.01 Dr. Schultheiss Emil to ALG1961/0308 Emil thanks ALG for his encouraging words he sent on February 19. ALG is the first Hungarian scholar to praise Emil's extensive research on Medieval medical history. But Emil is concerned that his work in the Arch. für Kulturgeschichte is incomplete. He has read several of ALG's articles and books, except the Skara House at the Medieval University of Paris, which is very hard to find in Hungary. If ALG is interested in the Albicus manuscripts Emil would be happy to send it on microfilm. Hungarian CALG 12/04.02 ? from Rome to ALG1960/0512 He thinks that ALG should not be angry with the General in Rome because he talks with everybody, not only ALG, in such an indirect way. It has to be a localism specific to Rome. Also he agrees with ALG that Hungarian Communists now try to coax young people out of practicing religion by providing them a progressive literary and cultural milieu, like Mikszáth. ALG's books, however, can only be found in the so called archives in Budapest. Upon his return to Budapest, Leo will help him find ALG's works. He would be happy to talk personally to ALG after so long. Hungarian CALG 12/04.03 Herz Lorand to ALG1960/0818 Lorand encloses two photos taken at the high-school graduation reunion. He was happy to hear ALG's message to the class on this festive occasion. Lorand, as ALG's former student and friend, will always be thankful to ALG for the wonderful ideas he taught him. Unfortunately these are hard to practice in todays modern Hungary. Hungarian CALG 12/04.04 Article to be published in "Hungarian Bibliophiles" by Mezőssy Mária1960/0824 In remembrance of praying with ALG in the St. Georg Church at Wasserburg am Bodensee, entitled "Merci Vielmals". Enclosed are two more poems by Mezőssy Mária written for ALG. Hungarian CALG 12/04.05 Bérc Valéria to ALG1964/0811 Valéria's daughter will marry soon but there is no dowry for her. Valéria's salary is very low and asks ALG to help with the cost of the wedding and the dowry. Hungarian CALG 12/04.06 Eckhardt Sándor to ALG1960/0701 It would be contrary to Sándor's wishes to publish his memoirs outside of Hungary: Hungarian authorities do not allow him to travel to conferences held abroad despite his many published academic work. He congratulates ALG for his appearance in Stockholm. Unfortunately Sándor will not attend the conference. If ALG contributes to the upcoming monograph about King Mátyás, the study will be an excellent work. Sándor regrets that ALG and Ilike, his wife, will not be able to have lunch in Paris because her travel permit was denied. She finished translating the "Le sang noir". Sándor sends his regards to Prof. Francois and hopes that he still remembers him from the linguistic conferences. Hungarian CALG 12/04.07 Dr. Széll Sándor to ALG1963/0130 Sándor received the payment and, as soon as the Hungarian badges are done, he will send 200 of them. It will show the black eagle in golden laureate. He invites ALG to the national pilgrimage held on June 27 in Aachen, Germany. This is where the relics of the paramount Hungarian King's, Saint Ladislau's, relics are kept. With his permission, the Society would like to circulate ALG's excellent study on this topic. Hungarian CALG 12/04.08 Horváth Hoensch Lorand to ALG1961/0613 Although Lorand did not receive any news from ALG directly, he learned from Dragsits Ottó that ALG is doing well. A year ago he sent some photos of the reunion. Now he encloses few more photos of his new wife, Eva, and himself. Hungarian CALG 12/04.09 Pista (Lágyi István) to ALG1963/0328 Pista sends his congratulations for ALG's membeship in the French Academy. He asks ALG to send 3 copies of his recent monograph. He will distribute them to two libraries in Budapest. He also asks ALG for some old University of Notre Dame almanachs and old issues of National Geographic magazines. Pista informs ALG of new trends occuring in the social and cultural life of Budapest. The only way Pista is able to send rare stamps for ALG to collect is glueing them on the envelope and attaching the National Bank's permit. He is surprised to hear that ALG feels lonely. He inquiries about the geographical patterns and natural abundance of the State of Indiana and the City of South Bend. Hungarian CALG 12/04.10 Mezőssy Mária to ALG1963/02 Ash Wednesday. Mária thanks ALG for the "Ave Maria" letter. She sees now that ALG has been faithful to her for the past 7 years. She encloses a poem she wrote to venerate him entitled "Green Thursday". Mária thinks that ALG is immortal both in his academic works and in his private life. Hungarian CALG 12/04.11 Köldi Kocsis László to ALG1963/0327 László was very happy to receive ALG's letter. Now that he lives at Pécs again, he has heard many great news of ALG from the papers. Kazi, ALG's priest who assisted him during confirmation, died in 1950. László lives in solitude and stopped writing poems. Mécs László sent him a letter from Buda. He does not know if this letter will reach ALG or not. Hungarian CALG 12/04.12 Dénes Ferenc and Magda to ALG1963/0411 Ferenc, or Feri, thanks ALG for his letter and the Hungarian news. He is happy to learn of ALG's great success, an achievement that reflects back to all Hungarians living in exile. He invites ALG to visit them in Los Angeles. He is sad to note that his father has died. It seems that the certificate of inheritance is not fair as he has problems concerning the house in Kis Király street. His wife and him talk about ALG many times. Hungarian CALG 12/05 [Studium Generale]1959-1963 CALG 12/06 [Letters]1952-1953 CALG 12/06.01 Schwartz Elemér to ALG1952/1025 Elemér does not know ALG's address thus he sends this letter with sister Antonia. He founded a new Catholic Academy named Academia Catholica Hungarica seated in Rome. He would like to nominate ALG for full membership and asks him to send his bibliography. ALG deserves to be member of a Hungarian Academy, but up until now he was denied fellowship. He sends information about the newly established institution. Hungarian CALG 12/06.02 Dr. Moharos Sándorné, Gyöngyi, to ALG Gyöngyi will try to find out the case of the vineyard next time she visits Pécs. She hopes that what ALG wrote is true concerning the vineyard. Gyöngyi's brother, who lives in America, does not keep in touch. She would need an official invitation from him to visit. Thus there is no chance that Gyöngyi will pay a visit to ALG soon. ALG and Gyöngyi have not seen each other in 20 years. She transmitted ALG's regards to Kovács Sanyi.

The boarders of St. Margaret Seminary will organize their reunion exactly on that Sunday when ALG will say mass in the Church. János thinks it would be best if they combine the two reunions and the two graduating classes together attend ALG's mass at 10 am.He is sorry for not writing sooner, but Sister Désireé was sick for a long time.

He also admires ALG's seniority in the Académie des Inscriptions. In Budapest, Hungary, ALG's Alma Mater was honoured that ALG accepted their invitation, eloquently lecturing on the degree congregation. Although the new law prohibits teaching at the university over 70, György still lectures on Medieval history at the request of the Hungarian President. Hungarian CALG 12/25.02 Komlósi László Imre to ALG1994/0718 His wife, Liz, and László thank ALG for his letter. László thanks ALG for the invitation to attend the ceremony, which he would like to reciprocate soon. He received "The Paris Studium" and popularized it among his colleagues at the university. László's father, who has extensively studied the history of education, also set a high value on ALG's book. Hungarian CALG 12/26 Premontre; Godollo; Jaszo; etc.1986-1997 CALG 12/26.01 Fényi Ottó to ALG1996/1231 Ottó will turn 80 next month. Thus another prior will be elected soon at the Premontré abbey lands of Gödöllő. ALG sent his vote of confidence written in Latin in November so he already met his commitment. The school building is not ready just yet as the government has stopped issuing the compensations. After he retires, Ottó will be busy making arrangements the school. He thanks ALG for the check of $100. Hungarian CALG 12/26.02 Pásztai Ottó to ALG1996/0509 Ottó thanks ALG for the letter and for the check. In the last two years, the Premontré Alumni Association of Nagyvárad, Romania, has accompished many of its goals. Ottó attaches couple of brochures about the Association for ALG to distribute to institutions in America that might be able to help them financially. Hungarian CALG 12/26.03 Fényi Ottó to ALG1995/1208 Ottó thanks ALG for the presents and checks. These make the written recollections and records of the inchoate Order at Gödöllő more rich. The abbey is functioning well for over two years now. The Premontre Gymnazium, too, can show considerable success. Ottó sends information having to do with the events at the Premontre Order of Gödöllő. He wonders if ALG plans to pay a visit to Hungary soon. Hungarian CALG 12/26.04 Bartal Károly Tamás to ALG1996/0328 Károly thanks ALG for his kind and reassuring words. He informs ALG of the new events at the Jászó Abbey. He sends his warm thanks that ALG has not forgotten them. Hungarian CALG 12/26.05 Veszelovszky Albin to ALG1996/0301 After receiving ALG's greetings, Albin tried to reach ALG by phone, but he could not. Now he sends a few lines. Hungarian CALG 12/26.06 Pásztai Ottó to ALG1995/0105 Ottó is glad to note that after 50 years of dark Communist rule they were able to establish the Premontré Alumni Association of Nagyvárad. Ottó was elected as president. He sends the plans of the association including the events and institutions they would like to sponsor. Since the members are all senior citizens there is not much revenue coming in for the Association. Ottó asks ALG to promote them in the United States and look for instituions that may be able to send help, either financial or in kind. Most importantly they need girls scout and boys scout uniforms. Hungarian CALG 12/26.07 Márton Hugó to ALG1995/1210 Hugó thanks ALG for his kind regards and the best wishes he sent a year ago. Hugó sends a few lines wishing good health and a happy life to ALG on his 88 birthday. Should ALG feel lonely on Christmas, he is to think of the many great memories he has around him in his room. Hugó inquires about ALG's high mass that he just celebrated today. He thanks for the copies of the articles from the American Hungarians weekly. Hungarian CALG 12/26.08 Miklósházy Attila to ALG1995/0728 The first time after 57 years, Attila, the episcopus Hungarorum in exteris living in Canada, was able to tour Europe. The Premontré Order at Jászó, Slovakia, is the only one who cares about the Hungarians living there. He thanks ALG for the letter and the donation. Hungarian CALG 12/26.09 Story in the "Vas Népe" daily1994/0905 "Opening of the academic year at the Saint Norbert Gymnasium belonging to the Premontré Order at Szombathely, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 12/26.10 Poem written to ALG by Mezössy Mária "Song Composed on a Simple Tune about the Saint Georg Church" appeared in the Homeless Hungarian Literary Review Hungarian CALG 12/27 Premontre; Godollo; Jaszo; etc.1986-1997 CALG 12/27.01 ALG to Fényi Ottó1994/1227 ALG was glad to read Ottó's article appearing in the Hungarian Church History Almanach. The article is about Bernát. ALG's friend, Professor Székely György, was of great assistance to Bernát. ALG inquires about Bernát's monograph having to do with the Public Records of Budapest. ALG learned from his American friends in the holy order of a new Catalogue that will be put together in Germany. ALG is sorry to note that the previous Catalogues have degraded his accomplishments and titles. Here in America everybody knows that within the Roman Catholic Church ALG is one the greatest scholars and member of most Academies. ALG attaches the corret version of the full text with his titles. He will send a copy to Kutsch in Germany. Hungarian CALG 12/27.02 Igaly Gyuri to ALG1993/1128 Finding that there is a new church schoolestablished at Gödöllő in the former baracks, Gyuri would like to know the proper name of the school. He also inquires about the name of the head of the Premontré Order in Hungary, in case there is one. Gyuri and couple of former students of ALG from Gödöllő do think that a coeducational public school, even if an old Premontré Provost is its principal, can not claim to be the true descendant of the old Premontré School they have attended. Gyuri also asks ALG to call, or pay his respect to, Countess Bárczy Piroska who lives in Providence now. No one other than her and Gyuri are the descendants of the Bánffy Earldom. Gyuri would be happy if ALG would pay a visit to him when he visits Budapest next time. He wishes happy Christmas. Hungarian CALG 12/27.03 ALG to Fényi Ottó1994/1122 ALG thanks Ottó for the information sent on 15 of August. Ottó did mention is his letter the financial compensations paid by the Hungarian state to the Order in satisfaction of wrong done in 1945. As per Ottó's will, ALG did not make any arrangements to get back the Canon's monastic quarters from the state. ALG learned by word of mouth of the "half a million", but he does not know if this amount is in dollars or the Hungarian currency, Forint. This relief, however, does not mean selling the Order at Gödöllő. ALG will vote "non placet" if the Hungarian government considers this a sale with a transfer of ownership to them. This would eliminate any future atonement from their part. If the relief is considered "lease" then ALG would vote yes. He knows that nobody will vote "non placet" and that his only vote will not change anything, still his conscience dictates him to cast this vote. ALG thinks that Ottó keeps all his correspondences, just like ALG keeps his. ALG will turn 87 soon. Hungarian CALG 12/27.04 Fényi Ottó to ALG1994/0815 Ottó regrets that they did not meet upon ALG's last visit. He understands ALG's reservations and reasons for not paying his respect at Gödöllő. Earlier Ottó had sent a book including his greetings to ALG with another brother from the order, but he was informed that ALG has not received them. He hopes that despite all past grievances, ALG will visit his alma mater at Gödöllő on the next opportunity he gets. Ottó sends information concerning the restitution of the Order's buildings, including the abbey and the land, from the Hungarian state. There have been negotiations going on for years now. Hungarian CALG 12/27.05 Dr. Rékasi József, Csaba, to ALG1994/0513 Csaba sends his greetings from Paris where he is on cultural vacation for a couple of weeks. Hungarian CALG 12/27.06 Two articles: History of the Norbertine Order (Premontré) at Jászóvár, Slovakia, from the very start in 1130 Hungarian CALG 12/27.07 Obituary of Rácz Gábor Gergely, Canon of the Order of Premontre at Gödöllő1994/0705 Hungarian CALG 12/27.08 ALG to Fényi Ottó1994/0627 Perhaps Ottó has learned from the papers of ALG's visit in Budapest, Hungary. The visit had to be brief consequently ALG did not have time to visit Ottó. Also he did not call him at Gödöllő because he had no intention to talk to that Premontré brother, who recently visited American abbeys but did not bother to contact ALG. In Hungary, ALG did not want to abash Ottó. Unfortunately their former student and benefactor, Kálmán Tivadar, passed away. Hungarian CALG 12/27.09 Fényi Ottó to ALG1992/1210 Ottó sends his congratulations to ALG on his 85th birthday, the senior professor of the convent at Gödöllő. Ottó intended to write before ALG's birthday but was too busy. Now he would like to thank ALG for the letters and the precious book-collection he donated to the new library of the Order at Gödöllő. He begs pardon for not thanking him sooner. Their common friend, Kumorovitz Bernát, passed away. Ottó informs ALG of the current events happening in the Premontré Orders at Gödöllő, Hungary, and at Várad, Romania. Hungarian CALG 12/27.10 Márton Hugó to ALG1993/0809 Hugó regrets that he has not written for 18 months to thank ALG for his greetings. In 1991, he paid a visit to Várad, Romania, and then he was ill for a while. He is happy to hear that ALG, turning 86, is in good health. He also hears that upon his visit to Budapest ALG did not have time to visit the St. Norbert's College at Gödöllő. He asks if ALG's title is listed correctly in the Catalog that is currently in making or is he still listed simply as member of the Order. The Abbot General promised Hugó a spot in the Campo Santo Verano vault in Rome when needed. Hungarian CALG 12/27.11 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1990/1212 Ottó is sorry for not responding to ALG's letter since May, but he was aggrieved by its content. He will recap his response in 5 major points. Ottó begs pardon for his bluffness. Along with other members of the St. Norbert Order and the College, Ottó supports the work of Nunc Prior of Gödöllő, Fényi Ottó. He attaches the form ALG has to fill out to receive pension for his work in Hungary. Should ALG receive the remittance, this will only be enough for a couple of quail-egg soups. Hungarian CALG 12/27.12 Canonry Chronicle Reports and Clippings Having to do with gaudies at Gödöllő led by Fényi Ottó; the memoirs of the poet Mécs László; the history of Saint Norbert and the 800 years old Canonical Order of Premontré at Jászóvár; Dr. Takács Menyhért's homecoming to Jászóvár, Slovakia; the 1980s monologue of Canon Lágyi Kornél; old boyscout reunions at Kassa and Gödöllő.

Hungarian CALG 12/28.03 "The Poet of Affection"1995/1014 Article about the life Mécs László, famous Hungarian poet born in 1895, written by Fáy István, in the Canadian "Magyarság". Hungarian CALG 12/29 Bartel Provost Prelates1989-1995 CALG 12/29.01 Bartal Károly Tamás to ALG1992/0327 Although Károly doesn't know ALG in person, still he writes a few lines informing him of the Premontré Canonical Order at Jászó. Now the abbey has 7 residents: 5 novicus, the prior, and Károly. The rest of the castle is used as a hospital where people with psychosis are treated. The state gave back the house at Kassa, Slovakia. Now this functions as a boarding school. However, the Order's stolen assets were not compensated at all. Károly is sad to note that for 22 years they have not said mass in the church at Jászó, due to renovation. He will show the church, the abbey, and the nearby valleys to ALG when he visits Jászó. Hungarian CALG 12/29.02 Bartal Károly Tamás to ALG1995/0103 Károly thanks ALG for his kind words. He tries hard to get back the abbey lands and the confiscated personal property from the Slovakian state. He foresees that the recompensation process will take a long time. But the renovation of the library's ceiling is in progress. Károly also hopes that the Order will get back the properties at Lelesz as wonderful old frescos were found in its church. If everything goes well the sorority at Jászó will recover again in a couple of years. He asks ALG to include them in his prayers. Hungarian CALG 12/29.03 Bartal Károly Tamás to ALG1993/0630 The renovation of the church at Jászó has to be stopped due to insufficient funds. Károly asks ALG to help. Hungarian CALG 12/29.04 Németh Béla to ALG1993/1020 Béla was sad to learn from Kulcsár Péter that ALG has never received his thank you note. Now he thanks ALG again for his fantastic book and congratulates him for his academic success and international fame. Perhaps the previous note got lost in the mail. Béla invites ALG to visit the university library when he is in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 12/30 [Application, Letters, Booklets]1984-1999 CALG 12/30.01 Dénes Ferenc to ALG1984/1207 Ferenc sends his congratulations for ALG's birthday. According to his calculations ALG is turning 39. Hungarian CALG 12/30.02 Székely Dávid to ALG1985/0624 Dávid and ALG met couple of years ago on a conferenc at Nizza. Dr. Pecze Ferenc asked Dávid to write a few lines to ALG. He sends his regards. Dávid sees that spiritually ALG is doing very well, and hopes that he is just as fit physically. Hungarian CALG 12/31 Dr. Ruck1986 CALG 12/32 [Correspondence]1974-1979 CALG 12/32.01 Viczikán János to ALG1979/0308 János's work on the history of Hungarian University Clubs and Associations did not receive good reviews in Hungary. But he is happy that ALG writes approvingly of this work and encourages him. Unfortunately János has little time to do research on this topic as he is busy supporting his family. If ALG visits him in Budapest, Hungary, after the conference at Bukarest, he might be able to show him the next volume. Hungarian CALG 12/32.02 Székely György to ALG1976/0423 György begs pardon for his delay in writing but he was busy with the beginning of the semester. Should ALG visit Budapest to attend the conference, he is to inquire about the research being done on the history of universities. There is a committee set up for this purpose. As per ALG's request, György has made arrangements to correct ALG's title and zip code at the Institute for Literary History. If ALG agrees with Prof. Klaniczay on a date in December for his European tour, György will immediately make arrangements concerning his talk in Budapest. György hopes to read the monograph about Várady Balázs and ALG's Collection of Lectures from San Francisco soon. Hungarian CALG 12/32.03 Kovács Anna to ALG1976/1016 Anna intended to write before Fall but she was busy. She hopes ALG's life is going well. She remembers the good time they spent together at Windsor. Anna encloses his son's, János', address in Ohio. She urges ALG to write back soon. Hungarian CALG 12/32.04 Simon Ernő to ALG1977/0502 Ernő regrets that he inadvertently mailed the letter with a wrong address and therefore the meeting fell through. In New York his wife and Ernő have been waiting for ALG until the very last minute. Their trip to America went well, but they could not live there. He thanks ALG for keeping them in his mind. Hungarian CALG 12/32.05 Molnár Júlia to ALG1977/0820 The priest at Érdliget intends to build a church. He is now collecting donations for this purpose. Júlia asks ALG to help by donating money for this project. As their parish is very poor she also asks for used green vestment. Júlia is a sister at St. Zsigmonda Salvator convent. Hungarian CALG 12/33 Old Correspondence Letters1974-1984 CALG 12/33.01 Dr. Penkert Mihály to ALG1974/0803 It was 30 years ago when ALG and Mihály met for the last time in Budapest. Up until today Mihály had entertained the hope that he might get in touch with ALG. He sees now that it will be impossible to do so because he does not know where to reach ALG at. For the last couple of years Mihály has tried hard to find out ALG's address. Now he thinks that he has the wrong address but he writes anyway. Mihály sends information concerning the major events of his life. His daughter has died of cardiac failure when she was 3. He asks ALG to reply before Mihály leaves for Budapest for two weeks. Mihály sends an inquiry after their common friends from Paris, such as Odette, Molnos Lipi, Drágfy Miki. His wife, Annus, sends her regards. Hungarian CALG 12/33.02 Lorczy to ALG Lorczy has read again ALG's letter, which he wrote on April 23rd 1959. In the meantime Lorczy retired and now has time to keep in touch with his old friends. He gives an account of his life, his family, his past. Lorczy also informs ALG of common friends and accuaintances from Budapest. He encloses a photo of his family. Hungarian CALG 12/33.03 Székely György to ALG1977/0812 György thanks ALG for the fruitful conversations they had on the Canary Islands. He would have written sooner, but he was busy with work at the university. György made arrangements for a Hungarian delegate from Budapest, led by the historian Balázs Éva, to lecture at the conference in Poland. He hopes that, after so many years, ALG will visit Hungary soon. Hungarian CALG 12/33.04 Szántó Tibor to ALG1977/0726 Tibor has learned of ALG's address from Balassa Béla, his wife's relative. Tibor asks ALG for his intervention to resolve a problem of the Hungarian Helikon Publishing Company. They tried to contact the head of the Library of Congress in Washington, but Mr. Matheon did not respond. Tibor plans to publish the Anjouian Nekcsei bible that is owned by the Library of Congress. Should ALG manage to contact Mr. Matheon, he is to inform Tibor of this as soon as possible. Hungarian CALG 12/33.05 Ásguthy József to ALG1977/1108 József sends these few lines from Érdliget where he is the priest. Since the community is building a new church having the state's approval, József asks for foreign subsidy for the construction. He asks ALG, as fellow Catholic living abroad, for financial help. Hungarian CALG 12/33.06 Legal Decision by the County Court of Pécs1974 Concerning ALG's leasehold of the vineyard and of the parental house at Pécs, Hungary. Since the Gabriel family, including the respondent ALG, did not use the estate, this was considered abandoned waste land and thus the judgement went for the plaintiff. The ownership was transferred to the plaintiff who had leased the property and cultivated the vineyard. Hungarian CALG 12/33.07 Dr. Rabatin Gyula to ALG1977/0412 Gyula encloses the county court's verdict that he received today from Pécs. If ALG would like further provisions to be made to this effect, he needs to fill out, authenticate, and send the retainer back to Gyula. Hungarian CALG 12/33.08 André Lorant to ALG1977/0115 André is a professor of literature and French at the University of Rennes. He would be obliged if ALG would help him find a summer teaching opportunity at Notre Dame. He encloses his summer courses proposal and other documentations for ALG to pass these on to the appropriate departments. Hungarian CALG 12/33.09 Copy of an article from the "Uj Ember" Having to do with Hungarians living and working in South Bend.

In gratitude for the kindness of ALG Lászlósends some copies of the latest findings of his research, such as the Premontré Hymnariums of Somlóvásárhely and the "Colligite fragmenta". Ten years ago, László summarized the history of Latin writings in Hungary. It has been two years since he ordered the microfilm of a codices from the Bodleyana Archives at Oxford. Since it has never arrived, László asks ALG's advise how to retrieve it. 40 years ago, ALG's study in the yearbook of Gödöllő's St. Norbert's College inspired László and his learned profession throughout his life. Hungarian CALG 12/33.11 Végh István to ALG1976/0914 István, along with the rest of the class, agrees with ALG to have a reunion in April of 1977 at Pécs. Everybody will act upon ALG's decision concerning the exact date of the reunion ceremony. István tries hard to trace down the whereabouts of his former classmates. Many of them changed their names. But he managed to put together a list and will contact the people soon. István thanks ALG for his reflection on the song "Ferilles Mortes". Hungarian CALG 12/33.12 Keresztúry Ernő to ALG1979/0315 Ernő is happy to hear that ALG liked his book he published on the Lake Balaton. He learned from Cardinal Lékai of ALG's approval of the book. He sees it from ALG's letter and his ex libris that ALG did not forget his homeland. Ernő, too, would like to meet ALG and invites him to visit. Hungarian CALG 12/33.13 Dr. Török József to ALG1978/1119 József thanks ALG for the letter and for reading his dissertation. He will be in Paris on a scholarship for 2 years. József asks ALG's advice concerning the Hungarian related research that he could be doing in Paris. His interests and research plans are similar to that of ALG's. József would also be obliged if ALG would send a copy of the bibliography of the Medieval French Hungarian relations ALG compiled. Hungarian CALG 12/33.14 Széll Sándor to ALG Sándor sends confidential information concerning The Royal Hungarian Saint László Society. He regrets that ALG, in 1976, did not join him to Portugalia to the headquarters of the Templar Equestrian Order, seated in the Tomar castle. ALG was one of the two nominees, and there was an agreement that ALG should receive the Grand Prieuré du Canada title. Sándor asks ALG to be the official representative of the Society and in particular of the Chairman of the Governing Council, Bishop Tomori, at the ceremony in Charleston in May of 1979. The Governor General of Templar Equestrian Order, the Prince, will ask Sándor, as his lieutenant general, to represent him at this event. Sándor asks ALG to help create Hungarian Memorial Committees to serve the cause of Hungarians in excile. He urges ALG to be a member of The Augustan Society, Inc. in America. Sándor also thinks that ALG is the best person to raise money and support for a Saint László monument possibly inaugurated at Notre Dame. Hungarian CALG 12/34 Old Correspondence / Letters1974-1984 CALG 12/34.01 Dr. Eckhardt Sándorné to ALG1979/1029 Sándorné received ALG's letter. As per ALG's request, she encloses Jóska's phone number and his address in Köln, Germany. She has 10 grandchildren and 3 great-granchildren. She informs ALG of her family. Hungarian CALG 12/34.02 Macskásy Pál to ALG1979/1124 ALG and Pál met 35 years ago last time. This letter is an inquiry for information concerning a possible French resistance movement in Hungary that started in the summer of 1944. Pál has a report, signed by Lieutenant J. Cottin, corroborating this agreement between the French troops and ALG and respectively Rubletzky Géza. Unfortunately the plan fell through and ALG and Pál lost contact after the occupation. Pál asks ALG to remember the events prior to the German occupation of the French College on December 18th, 1944. He also inquires about the role of prelates in the French resistance movement, specifically ALG's role. Pál remembers ALG being in contact with Lieutenant J. Cottin during the Nazi reign until the last moment. Pál intends to evoke the past, not to change it. He asks ALG for any information of that period. He also encloses an article he wrote commemmorating their common friend, Rubletzky Géza who died in 1953. He wishes happy Christmas. Hungarian CALG 12/34.03 E. Csonka to ALG1979/0922 E. Csonka received ALG letter and the message. He will be able to publish this Hungarian news in the next issue of the "New Europe" as the current one is already in the press. He congratulates ALG for his new academic success. Hungarian CALG 12/35 [Correspondence]1977-1994 CALG 12/35.01 Hltbacker Emma to ALG1985/0305 Emma thanks ALG for the note. She is glad to hear that ALG looks after their son at the University of Notre Dame, especially since he has not been studying very well in the first year. Hungarian CALG 12/35.02 Anthony Endrey, Zalán, to ALG1983/0628 Zalán did not write to congratulate ALG for his Golden Anniversary because his wife has been in the hospital and he has been busy attending her. He asks ALG to make arrangements with the University of Notre Dame that he can give a lecture there. The title of the lecture would be "The Carpathian Basin: its history and future". Zalán intends to visit other universities as well. Hungarian CALG 12/35.03 Berka József to ALG1982/1224 József wishes happy Christmas and sends his new Year's greetings. He thinks that ALG will understand the reason why they could not meet in Hungary when ALG was visiting. He learned from Ottó that ALG's trip was a success. Hungarian CALG 12/35.04 Dr. Lékai László to ALG1983/0412 László received ALG's Easter's greetings and now he would like to reciprocate that. He, like ALG, will be in Vienna between September 9 and 11 and hopes to meet ALG. He also invites ALG to Esztergom, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 12/35.05 Székely György to ALG1983/0507 György sends his congratulations to ALG for his honorary membership in the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Perhaps ALG has already received the president's wire about the decision. He received 165 content and only 7 votes against the proposal. There were only 4 votes that showed constraint. ALG won the majority vote on an actual ballot. Hungarian CALG 12/35.06 Bajomi Lázár Endre to ALG1983/0513 As per ALG's request, Lázár would be happy to send copies of his books "Arpadine" and "Ego Sum Gallicus Captivus". He would like to give them to the person that ALG names for delivery. He will not, however, mail them as they tend to get lost. The books are available for purchase at Kultura or Puski companies too. Lázár is sorry to hear that the books got lost last year in the mail. He inquires about the sender. He has learned of ALG's stunning bibliography and his brilliant career. Lázár sees that ALG's name is printed erroneously in the Literary Cyclopaedia: Gábriel instead of Gabriel how ALG writes it. Hungarian CALG 12/35.07 Macskásy Pál to ALG1981/0725 Pál learned from Dercsényi Dezső of ALG's address. He thinks that ALG did not receive his first letter written two years ago. This letter is an inquiry after ALG's whereabouts in December 1944, after they lost contact. Pál collects data from the Military History Archives and tries to compile other unpublished documents on the subject: French-Hungarian relations at the end of 1944. He asks ALG to send information and his personal recollection concerning the weeks before the occupation of the St. Norbert College at Gödöllő. He found an entry in his journal of Decemebr 13, 1944, saying that now the Arrow Cross Party is searching religious convents. He tried to contact ALG. Nobody had seen him since yeasterday (December 12th). If ALG dissapears, Pál will give up the fight. Another entry of Decemebr 14 states that Pál has just learned of ALG's quitting. Jean Cottin has dissapeared too. Pál informs ALG that these entries from his journal refer to their meetings at the Horánszky Street in Budapest. He asks ALG to support his search and provide data from this period. Hungarian CALG 12/35.08 Macskásy Pál to ALG1983/0323 While collecting data for his research, Pál made friends with Professor Jónás Pál. Jónás Pál informed him that ALG's address he has is correct. Thus he re-sends a copy of his letter from 1981 asking ALG to respond. He will send copies of his publications soon. There is more data available of the French military personell's experience in Hungary in the Fall of 1944. Hungarian CALG 12/35.09 Resolutions by the Council and Board Members of the International Association of Hungarian Studies1983/0827 Meeting in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 12/35.10 The Abbot of Cisterian Abbey of Dallas to ALG1983/1218 He received ALG's letter and the $200 check. He delivered it already to Gábriel Ottó as ALG requested. He thinks that Gábriel Ottó and his family are decent people who will be able to cope with the new life in America. He congratulates ALG for his distinction as Titular Provost. Hungarian CALG 12/35.11 Dr. Mezey László to ALG1983/1222 László sends his warm regards for ALG's upcoming birthday. He sends his Christmas' greetings. László would be obliged if ALG would send his review and comments of László's article that recently appeared in the Fragmenta. Hungarian CALG 12/35.12 Székely György to ALG1984/0416 György sends his Easter's greetings. Both September and October work well to meet ALG in Budapest. He will introduce ALG to a member of the Academy, Hazai György. He asks ALG to mention the new monograph "The history of the University Library at Budapest" at the Stuttgart conference. Hungarian CALG 12/35.13 Article in "Bookworld" written by Végh Ferenc and having to do with the fourth volume of the series "Memoria Saeculorum Hungariae". The volume was compiled by Székely György. Hungarian CALG 12/36 [Correspondence]1977-1994 CALG 12/36.01 Dr. Mezey László to ALG1983/0315 László covered the meeting at the end of September. He sent it to "Analecta". Now he encloses a copy for ALG. He would be happy to meet ALG in Vienna during one of his trips there. He wishes happy Easter. Hungarian CALG 12/36.02 Dr. Mezey László to ALG1983/0122 László has received ALG's letter just before leaving for Vienna. He replies from Vienna where he works on the "Fragmentum" case and on an old German brevarium of Köln. László thinks that people in Vienna are more indolent than Hungarians are. He will return to Hungary with 14 restored codicies. Hungarian CALG 12/36.03 Béládi Miklós to ALG1983/0510 Miklós sends the information that ALG has been elected honorary member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He congratulates ALG for this distinction. Hungarian CALG 12/36.04 Dr. Madas Edit to ALG1984/0420 She is sad to note that Professor Mezey László passed away on 04/14. He was hit by a train at age 66. Professor Mezey László showed reverence for ALG in his life, talking warmly about him in his last days. Edit, together with the rest of his colleagues at the University and the Academy, will try to carry on the tasks Prof. Mezey had set in gratitude for his kindness. Hungarian CALG 12/36.05 Obituary of Dr. Mezey László1984/04 Funeral on 24 April 1984 at Budapest, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 12/36.06 Article about the General Assembly of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences In "Magyar Nemzet" 1983/0507.

Hungarian CALG 12/36.07 Dr. Kumorovitz Bernát to ALG1984/1009 Bernát asks ALG to write a commemorating article in memory of their common friend, Mezey László, who recently has passed away. He also asks ALG to have these few lines published in the Analecta Praem. newest issue. ALG is the best person to praise Mezey László's merits and the work he has done for the St. Norbert Order.

Hungarian CALG 12/42.02 Dr. Sándor Mária to ALG1983/0709 Mária congratulates ALG for his recent membership in the Academy. She encloses a report on the excavation being done at the Pécs University site. Mária asks ALG to send his compiled bibliography or copies of relevant literature on the topic to help her out with the research on the University of Pécs. Hungarian CALG 12/42.03 Markos András to ALG1983/0726 The package, with the books ALG requested, was not allowed to be delivered to ALG by the board of customs. A special permit from the Hungarian National Bank was needed. Now that the Postoffice obtained that document, the package will be sent to ALG with no delay. Hungarian CALG 12/42.04 Dr. Madas Edit to ALG1983/0607 As per ALG's request, Edit sends the memoirs, the bibliography, and the table of content. If ALG receives these, he is to write a short introduction in a format that he choses. She asks ALG to send data concerning the Gyöngyösi Gergely's years spent at the University of Cracow in 1493. Edit will publish the Gyöngyösi biography in the "Hungarian Bookreview" and would be obliged if ALG would send his strict review after reading it. Hungarian CALG 12/42.05 Short introduction to the Selected Treatise of Dr. Mezey László. The monograph includes a the table of contents, the individual treatise, and concludes with a complete bibliography. Enclosed is a short biography of Dr. Mezey László. Hungarian CALG 12/42.06 Dragsits Imre to ALG1982/0908 Imre encloses an article that appeared in "Hungary" in 1982/0627 history section. He heard it from his brother that ALG will visit Hungary in September to give his talk at the Academy. Hungarian CALG 12/42.07 Bajomi Lázár Endre1982/0627 Mentions the opulent publication of "Les rapports dynastiques franco-hongrois au Moyen-Age". The book was written by ALG and dedicated to his porfessor, Eckhardt Sándor. It was published by the University Print, Budapest. ALG wrote the short introduction to it in 1944/0714 at Gödöllő, where he was the director of the St. Norbertin French College. But it is a mystery as to how a book that illustrates the French-Hungarian league could have been published just 4 months after the Nazi occupation. Hungarian CALG 12/42.08 Macskásy Pál to ALG1983/1109 Pál received ALG's letter, which he wrote in a hurry just before leaving for France, on April 18th. ALG promised that, in May, he will write in detail responding to Pál's inquiries. Up until today Pál has hoped that he might receive the letter. He sees now that it likely got lost in the mail. He encourages ALG to reply again and inform Pál of the Gödöllő events at the end of 1944, tough times that after all brought them together. Pál still works on the subject and encloses his article published in "Magyar Nemzet" in 1983. Hungarian CALG 12/42.09 Autobiography of Széll Sándor He lives in Mexico and was born in 1901. Hungarian CALG 12/42.10 Széll Sándor to ALG1982/0915 Sándor hopes that ALG will receive this letter in time. Tomorrow he leaves for Madrid, Spain, to take part in the Congress. Sándor would like ALG to attend the congress also if he can. But by all means ALG is to fill out the forms and send them back to Madrid. In October Sándor intends to meet Bishop Tomori László and ALG in Amsterdam. From there they could all drive to Aachen, Germany, to visit the St. László Church. Sándor intends to have a sermon on Sunday at 10 a.m. in this church. He already asked Szigeti István to celebrate the mass. He hopes that ALG and him will meet somewhere soon as the prices of tickets go up and thus it will become difficult to travel around. He would like to discuss the priory in Canada with ALG. Hungarian CALG 13/01 Correspondence1957-1992 Not official, but not personal (e.g. related to Norbertines) CALG 13/01.01 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1989/1212 Ottó is happy to learn that the St. Norbert Order at Gödöllő will pool its resources to gather again old students and teachers after so many years of being apart. He asks whether ALG would like to attend their 50th Reunion next year. Lately the Romanian immigration officer did not let him cross the border and sent him back to Hungary when he tried to visit his former professor at Nagyvárad, Romania. Hungarian CALG 13/01.02 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1990/0323 He begs pardon for his delay in responding concerning the reunion. It will be the end of May and Ottó asks ALG to let him know whether he can attend or not. Hungarian CALG 13/01.03 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1992/0325 Ottó sends information concerning the establishment of monastic quarters and a chapel in Gödöllő. Fényi Ottó initiated it already 5 years ago, put a new roof on the chapel, and soon it'll open its door. But to restart the St. Norbert Premontre Canonical gymnasium prooves to be more difficult task. Fényi Ottó, the priory of the St. Norbert Order, was told by an under-secretary of the attorney general that the state claims to donate few buildings and assets to the Church instead of giving them all back. The order is subsidized from money abroad, which is unsteady. Ottó thinks that foreign lenders should put pressure on the Hungarian government to give all the stolen assets back to the Catholic Church so they can start their new school: Today children need not only academic teaching but also good breeding as well. He attaches the newest pamphlet published by the Premontre Alumni Association of Gödöllo= dated 1992/0325. Hungarian CALG 13/01.04 Dragsits Imre to ALG1992/0404 He encloses a memorandum of the Premontre St. Norbert Canonical Order Alumni Association that contains pertinent information concerning the rebirth of the Canonical Gymnasium and the holy orders at Gödöllő. At the funeral of their former professor, Prof. Kumorovitz, students inquired about ALG. They have asked Ottó if ALG has plans to attend the reunion. Soon about 40 people from the order are taking a trip to Nagyvárad, Romania, to visit their former teacher and to attend his high mass. Hungarian CALG 13/01.05 Dragsits Imre to ALG1992/0707 Imre encloses an article, of June 9, 1992, about the restitution of the Premontre Canonical Order as its religious house is reestablished and its school reopens. Also invites ALG, who is considered the biggest patron of the St. Norbert Order Alumni Association, to attend the St. Norbert jubilee next May. He would be happy if ALG would send a letter, written in a personal tone and addressed to his former students, that Imre could then attach to the article he is writing about ALG. Hungarian CALG 13/02 [Personal Correspondence]1979 CALG 13/03 [Personal Correspondence]1982-1989 CALG 13/03 Annotation regarding the 12th-century church, the Titular Provost of which was Professor Gabriel Only one wall, 8 meters long and 6 meters high, has remained intact in its original, natural form throughout the centuries. There were one and another half windows built on this wall which bear witness to the original proportions in height and articulation. Hungarian CALG 13/04 [Personal Correspondence]1990-1998 Related to Norbertines in Gödöllő CALG 13/04.01 Loli and Hoensch Lóránd to ALG (Bumi)1990/0312 She thanks ALG for the letter he sent in December of last year. She informs ALG about the upcoming "Big" Reunion that will take place June 8th at Gödöllo=. It will be big because classes of several years will meet. She has already notified couple of their graduating classmates and former teachers living abroad: Prof. Tauszik, Waldbott Hansi, another representative of the Premontre Canonical Order from Insbruck, Austria, and Endrey Zalán as well. She is sad to note that her classmate, Freud Rudi, has recently passed away. Eva too sends her regards to ALG. Loli hopes that ALG will be able to attend the ceremony. Hungarian CALG 13/04.02 ALG to Dott. Hugó Márton de Zetelaka1991/0208 Due to the request of the Jesuits, ALG has visited Budapest for three days to dedicate the book "Essays in Church History". In the meanwhile he attended the 50th Reunion of his class that graduated in 1940. ALG complains to Hugo about the Canonical orders of Gödöllő: back then he suffered not only emotional but also physical pain in that building thus he decided not to visit them. Even today, he recites several reasons why he thinks he is left out in the cold: Fényi told him not to interfere in the rendition of the Gödöllő buildings from the state, despite the fact that ALG knows the current Prime Minister, József Antal, very well. Plus the order consistently ignores ALG's functions on memorandums, and they also claim that ALG has not helped them when in fact in 1990 the diocese received $25,000 from Mackin. In all, he has had bad memories at Gödöllő (people have always been nice to him in the USA but not at Gödöllő). However ALG identifies himself with Jászó, the place where he had received the tonsure from Takács Menyhért. ALG thinks that "Communitas Jasoviensis in Externis" would be a reasonable solution to the problem, but he asks Hugo's advice first. ALG has already made arrangements to lay him to rest in Philadelphia, the place where Raszlaviczy is burried. Hungarian CALG 13/04.03 Dr. Ugo Márton to ALG1991/0222 Since ALG is not being kept posted about the sweeping changes happening in the provostship, Hugo sends information about both the Gödöllő (Hungary) and the Váradelöfoki (Oradea, Romania)) provostships. Although he lives in Rome, he is member of the latter and encourages ALG to declare his willingness to be a member of the Gödöllő priory. His name will mark the existence of "excisa viresci" and surely the new Communitás will be proud of him. ALG would then be under the bailiwick of Fényi Ottó, just like Albin and Csaba, who already sent in their memberships. Hungarian CALG 13/04.04 ALG to Ugo Márton1991/0402 He reflected a lot on Hugós advice of becoming part of the Gödöllő priory. But ALG has been degraded by them to such an extent that he thinks that this will be impossible. On the Latin membership list that has been recently sent out many of ALG's distinctions and honours were deliberately left out. Thus ALG was curtailed of his Golden Medal from the Pope, of his French cross of the legion of honour, and many others. Consequently he ended up somewhere at the end of the list. So his membership at Gödöllő is groundless because he has never sent in his consent. ALG has been living in America for 44 years now, as a citizen. In contrast he has spent, since his birth, only 40 years in Hungary. After wearing his holy orders gown for 65 years ALG will not tolerate such degradation from Gödöllő. Instead he will join the Praepositura Jasoviensis of Jászóvár, the shrine of which gives evidence of ALG's monastic vows. Hungarian CALG 13/04.05 Hugó to ALG1991/0417 Hugó is sorry to hear that ALG has no intention to be part of the Gödöllő provostship where Fényi Ottó had assumed ALG's membership based on his tacit approval. Due to a new resolution of the Holy See only two autonomous communities will exist: one in Gödöllő and the other in Várad. Now Hugó is glad that ALG made the decision to belong to Praepositura Jasoviensis, instead of a separate Communitas Jasoviensis in Exteris, which could not have been justified legally anyway. He asks ALG to contact Bartal Tamás, who will help him make the transition from Premontre Canonical Order of Gödöllő to the one of Jászóvár. Hugó is glad to hear that ALG's thoughtful intervention landed his doctoral thesis into ALG's Medieval Institute's collection. Hungarian CALG 13/04.06 Fényi Ottó to ALG1991/0216 Ottó sends information concerning the Gödöllő priorship, which ALG is a celebrated member of. Ottó faces difficulties in reclaiming the stolen church properties from the government. But when finally the new bill comes into being he'll know more about the statement of claim and then will inform ALG about the developments. Ottó would like ALG to send a picture of himself that will be attached to the article about ALG's recent TV interview in Budapest. He wishes good health to ALG for the upcoming years. Hungarian CALG 13/04.07 ALG to Fényi Ottó1991/0801 ALG has been waiting with his response until he could meet Robert Finnigan at Notre Dame and also could talk to Van de Ven after the prior elections. He asks Ottó to correct his rank and distinction on the Canonia Godolloiensis List that has been recently sent out: ALG is a honorary provost, a ranking that comes right after the prior. ALG also asks Ottó to mention in the Church Catalogue his ecclesiastic nomination from the Pope. ALG thinks he is pensionable and has the right to be compensated for the years 1938-1947. During those years, in that very building, as head of the school, he taught and worked for free, the Order pocketing all his salary. ALG suggests Ottó that the government should pay rent to them (since it is using the Church's buildings) and the incoming amount would cover his pension. On the American side ALG asked for pension, but to no avail, and now hopes that the Hungarian side will work out. On a personal note, ALG had suffered hardship under the German-Nazis when he saved several Jewish students' life in his French Gimnazium. As a result he has had to hide and his life was in danger. He encloses his doctorail nomination from the Ambrosia with the signature of the cardinal to attest his ranking and attaches a picture to it. ALG is concerned about the miserable state Hajnal Zsigmond is enduring and he doesn't want this news to reach the people who manage foreign aid to Hungary. On the same note ALG has heard that Ottó is doing very well financially. Hungarian CALG 13/04.08 Short article that run in the Gödöllő Print about the arrangement between the Agrarian University (controlled by the Department of Agriculture) and the Premontre Canonical Order according to which the state will remit two of its buildings to house the church school again like in 1929. Hungarian1992/0114 CALG 13/04.09 Fényi Ottó to ALG1992/0210 He sends information regarding the new elementary and middle school that the Premontre Canonical Order at Gödöllő will start soon in the two buildings the Order got back from the state. His other plan is to reopen, or at least to start the legal procedure for, the collegiate school of theology that dates back to 1929. For that Ottó will petition a visiting lecturership for ALG who is extremely well known is academic circles both in Hungary and abroad and, consequently, ALG will be able to spend some time in Gödöllő. Hajnal Zsigmond has been very ill and had to be relocated to Pannonhalma where he will receive constant medical care. Hungarian CALG 13/04.10 P. Békés Gellért to all subscribers of the Catholic Review1992/0930 He begs pardon for the delay in publishing the 1st and 2nd issues of the year 1992. The comprised volume is entitled "Christians and Freedom" and it will be ready to sent out at the end of October.

Gellért asks for his friends' patience as the press is moving home: from Rome, Italy, back to Pannonhalma, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 13/04.11 Békés Gellért to the subscribers of the Catholic Review1993/Eastern He informs the subscribers that the promised two volumes of 1992, the most recent being "Christians and Democracy", are both in their length and in subject-matter emulates the previous issues. Gellért asks people from abroad if they would please send in the yearly dues in order to cover those subscribers from Hungary, who can't pay the dues in full. Hungarian CALG 13/04.12 A note signed by Békés Gellért, head of the Bencés Press, to all subscribers of the Catholic Review1993/0927 They are sending out the 1st and 2nd issues in 1993 as a volume comprising the 35th Congress and the lecture series titled "Renewed Church in a renewed Society". The 1993 3rd and 4th issues will be published at the beginning of 1994. Hungarian CALG 13/04.13 Prof. Rózsa György to ALG1993/1001 Prof. Rózsa is happy to inform ALG that a review about "The Paris Studium" has been published in Hungarian Science and in Hungarian Book Review, written by Köpeczi Béla and Nádas Edit. He offers to send a copy of the review to ALG. György has been traveling around Canada and the United States lately on the occasion of an international conference and visited several libraries, such as the one in Chicago. Hungarian CALG 13/04.14 Prof. Dr. Somorjai Ádám to ALG1993/1110 He writes this letter from Rome, Italy, where he is spending his second semester teaching theology. In the meanwhile he plans to continue organizing and publishing in church history, namely establishing an institute and a research-group in this field at Szeged, Hungary. He asks ALG's advise in this regard. It would be helpful if ALG would know of any charitable trust in his wide acquaintanceship that would support and cover the expenses of such a research institute. Zombori István from Szeged is already successfully publishing materials related to church history, but he faces enormous financial difficulties and needs help from abroad. Hungarian CALG 13/05 [Personal Correspondence]2000-2005 Mainly related to Norbertines in Hungary, but includes correspondence by members of the Notre Dame community, such as Jeffrey C.

Szilas László to ALG2003/0713 László would like to go to the graduate school to continue his studies in Hungary. He does not have, however, enough money to pay for the tuition and appeals to ALG to send the missing amount. He encloses a document stating that he has been exempt from the Foreign Language Requirement in obtaining his diploma. Although László has learned Russian for 10 years he still doesn't know enough to pass the language requirement test. Hungarian CALG 13/05.03 Ullmann Péter to ALG2001/0116 Péter thanks ALG for his Christmas Card. He sends his respect to ALG and wishes him good health for the coming years.

Szilas László to ALG2002/1230 László would be happy if ALG would send him $200 to cover his health expenses. Half of his $80 pension is spent on medication and what remains is too little. He encloses his medical records that gives proof of his bad health. Also Dr. Oloffson has preached at the ceremony at the Ciszter Church in Buda and said that he was the last priest survivor of the "Gulág" labour camp. Hungarian CALG 13/05.09 Nagy Péter Tibor2003/0420 Tibor wonders whether ALG, as a witness of important times of the past, has yet recorded his remembrances and documents. Specifically he would be interested in the atmosphere of the School of the Premontre Canonical Order at Gödöllő, where ALG has been the head of the school between 1938 and 1947, and also in ALG's recollections about the 1941-47 period when ALG was a professor at the Pázmány Péter University. Péter would happy to make ALG's memoires part of the Hungarian public collection through the Academy's Library. Hungarian CALG 13/05.10 Balogh György to ALG2003/0312 He wishes happy birthday to ALG and is sending a picture of the boarders graduating in 1935 from the Premontre Canonical Gymnasium of Gödöllő.

Hungarian CALG 13/06.07 Critique that appeared in the emigrant newspaper, Hungária, "The nation is defenceless".1954 Reflects on Horváth Béla, the author of the poem "The ballad of Jászi Oszkár", his poem, his radicalism and liberal views. Andreánszky István criticizes Horváth for disparaging Hungary's name in the world and claims that "Látóhatár", the paper that has run the poem and the commentary, is not publishing material of Hungarian interests. Hungarian CALG 13/06.08 Interview with ALG in Hungária1954 Medieval Scholar, Gábriel Asztrik, talks about the problems Hungarians are faced with in today's world. ALG thinks that in today's technological warfare soldiers need, even more than before, religious and cultural education so that they will be able to hear the voice of humanity coming from their hearts. Today the Hungarian army should look at the outstanding American army as an ideal and try to introduce strict discipline and authority again, which has been a tradition in the old Hungarian army too. Moreover, ALG, together with other fellow Hungarian emigrants around the world, are like dispersed Hungarian soldiers who work hard as doctors, artists, or factory workers and they all stand their ground. In all, ALG still feels close to the world and life of the many Hungarian Christian soldiers.

It is his father, however, that ALG wanted to contact perhaps. He was an ethnographer working at the same university. József is teaching history and philosophy of law. Since 1988 has been doing research on, eventually writing his doctoral dissertation in 1993, on the works of Moór Gyula. József asks ALG to write again soon about himself and about his relationship to Moór and his other contemporaries. He encloses his Curriculum Vitae and some studies he has published on the works of Moór Gyula. Hungarian CALG 13/13.02 "Drifts of Democracy"1991 Copy of article by Szabadfalvi József that came out in "Valóság": a study on Moór Gyula's approach to democracy between 1945 and 1947. Moór Gyula was an internationally recognized eminent scholar in legal history and philosophy in between the two World Wars in Hungary. This article gives a detailed account of his scholarly profession, of his views on democracy, and his instrumental role in Hungary's public life after 1945. Hungarian CALG 13/13.03 "The Idea of the Law and Problems Related to this Concept: the Legal Doctrine of Moór Gyula"1992/05 Copy of an article from "Hungarian Rights" magazine published by the Club of Hungarian Legal Practitioners. In this study Dr. Szabadfalvi József, professor at the University of Miskolc, Hungary, reconstructs Moór's legal precepts as the basis of the Hungarian neo-kantian legal philosphy, the study of which will lead to a more thorough understanding of Hungarian legal and moral philosophy. Hungarian CALG 13/13.04 "The Problem with the Pertinent Law"1993 Moór Gyula's tenets in legal virtues. Written by Szabadfalvi József, Jr., it appeared in the Northern-Hungarian Review "Dimenziók". Moór thinks that the only acceptable measure of a just law, when we are faced with comparing self-determinations or actions, is morality; thus the question of right law becomes a question of ethics.

His father and him have visited ALG in the Premontrei Gymnasium at Gödöllő, Hungary, to fill out the application forms. Back then ALG was the director of the French School. István still remembers ALG's words when they left: ALG congratulated him for being such a hefty little boy.

Marianne looked at the IISTC (Illustrated Incunabula Short Title Catalogue) on CD and found that there are 159 Ulrich Gering original prints around the world. She has narrowed down the search by adding Martin Crantz and Michael Friherger, as a results she found 52 copies, 34 of which are located in the US (copies of Paris, Gering-Crantz-Friherger, 1473 are in three American Libraries).

Hungarian CALG 13/16.05 Memorandum from Huszár Ottó to ALG's former pupils2000/0314 On their 60th high school reunion: letting them know that ALG will be in Budapest in May, attending the Academy's board meeting. Since ALG does not want to go to Gödöllo=, they should have the reunion in Budapest, as in 1990. Also, ALG asks for a list of those who would attend the reunion. Hungarian CALG 13/16.06 Ottó to ALG2000/0216 He sends the plans for their 60th high schoolreunion. Ottó would appreciate it if ALG would let them know the exact date when he would like to have the celebration. His disciples will then accomodate to this date. The only problem would be with May 1st, a date that still has political connotation. Hungarian CALG 13/16.07 Tarnoczy Mariann to ALG2000/0807 Mariann informs ALG that the 175th anniversary of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences's existence will be duly celebrated in November 3, 2000.

The formal invitation is signed by hand by Székely György saying that it all started in Krakkó (Cracow, Poland) in 1964. Hungarian CALG 13/16.11 Pásztor Pali to Huszár Ottó2000/0317 He thanks Ottó for the letter regarding the reunion and the meeting with ALG. He has been a young boy when he had to move apart from ALG. Since then, however, he has been following his life, his works, he has seen him on TV, and read everything about him. Pali is a true follower of ALG. He always wanted to meet him and thank him the book he got from him as a present for his good French. It was ALG who suggested to him to become a parish priest instead of a Prémontré priest in order to better help his poor, peasant parents. He followed ALG's advice. Now unfortunately Pali will not be able to attend their 60th high-school graduation reunion because he is crippled, but his class mates and teacher will always have a soft place in his heart. Hungarian CALG 13/16.12 Baló Lászlóné - Boglár Magda to Huszár Ottó2000/0321 She is sorry to hear that ALG is in impoverished health. Magda, too, is ill and therefore, unfortunately, she will not be able to attend the reunion. Hungarian CALG 13/16.13 Székely György to ALG2000/0309 He invites ALG to his hometown, Pécs, to give the scholarly inaugural speech for the founder's day of the university. The jubilee will take place on the 30th of August and György asks ALG to make the neccesary steps with his secretary to be able to attend. He sends more information on the ceremony. Hungarian CALG 13/16.14 ALG to Székely György2000/0323 ALG writes in Hungarian, by hand, as he doesn't want György to think that he forgot the language after spending 53 years in America. But, usually, dictation to his secretary is much easier for him. ALG thanks György for the letter and the invitation. Should he live until August, he will be delighted to visit György in Pécs. He is sorry to say that he hobbles and walking makes him fatigue. ALG congratulates his friend for his study on the Roman Empire. Hungarian CALG 13/16.15 Székely György to ALG1999/1029 György sends information on the establishment of a new campus at Piliscsaba, Hungary. He thinks that Hungarians need the return of theology in schools and universities. He sends information about the upcoming Pécs conference on the topic "The beginnings of the Hungarian higher education" and asks ALG if he would be able to make the trip to visit his hometown. György encloses another invitation for ALG: As Board Member of the Academy's History of Universities Subcommittee, ALG is cordially invited to attend their next meeting. Hungarian CALG 13/16.16 Fényi Ottó to ALG1999/1130 Ottó is sorry to hear that ALG has postponed his expected visit to Gödöllő. Also in the name of ALG's friends and former pupils from the holy order, he wishes happy birthday to ALG. He is happy to note that next year, after 76 years of intermittence, students will be again graduating from the Prémontré high school. Hungarian CALG 13/17 A. L. Gabriel. Hungarian Students. Texts and Studies XVII1980-2000 CALG 13/17.01 ALG to Dr. János Nádas1986/1125 ALG begs pardon for not attending the Árpád Academy's meeting, but he was busy traveling in Europe. ALG has recently presented his new book on the University of Paris in Frankfurt and asks János to present the book on the meeting in Cleveland. He is enclosing some cards, prospectus, and his full bibliography until 1985. ALG wishes János good luck at the conference. Hungarian CALG 13/17.02 ALG to Dr. Eszterhás István1986/1117 ALG has been busy traveling for three months in Europe due to his new book. He is sending a copy of it to István and letting him know that the cost of printing has been very high. The book reflects ALG's missionary intent in that he wanted to let Hungarians know that the old Hungarian students and professors, who were studying abroad five hundred years ago, adhered to Hungarian saints and to their reverence. ALG would appreciate it if István would write a short and a long exposé on the subject, depending on which Hungarian-language paper István, as general editor, wants to send it to. ALG has recently met with Umberto Eco at the Monumenta Germaniae Historica Congress. Hungarian CALG 13/17.03 Book review by Sárkány György on ALG's monograph "The University of Paris and Its Hungarian Students and Masters" The review is entitled "Students, Instructors, and Witnesses." Relying on highlights of the book, the author presents ALG's book as an important contribution to the general cultural history of Hungary proving that Hungary has always belonged to the Christian West, even half a millenium ago. The destruction coming from the East, like the Ottoman invasion of the Turks in 1526 and of the Soviet forces in 1956 just to name a few, could not and did not pull Hungary out of the recovery of its lost influence of Western civilization, claims Sárkány György. ALG's book testifies to this very trend drawing on many examples of young Hungarians studying and acting as deputies in Paris. Hungarian CALG 13/17.04 Book review by István Eszterhás - "Hungary's Place in Western European Civilization: Half a Thousand Years Ago -- Hungarian Students in Paris"1987/0308 On ALG's new book. He congratulates ALG for writing this book. It is essential to the Hungarian community, on the whole, because it proves that even 500 years ago Hungarians, in contrast to other neighboring nations, were already an integral part of the Christian West by participating in, and sometimes leading, Paris's intellectual and cultural life.

Out of regard for ALG, he wishes that ALG's timeless scholarly work, the fruits of which can be measured in moral and not material values, will provide a lifetime of happiness for ALG. Hungarian CALG 13/21.03 Dr. Varga László, Congressman, to ALG2000/1115 László thanks ALG for his letter. He remembers their encounters very well and asks ALG whether he might be planning a trip to Budapest soon. He encloses a report on the talks with the head of the Interparliamentarian Union (IPU), Santiago Romero Perez, and also his lectures in America, especially in New York.

Hungarian CALG 13/21.06 Fay István to ALG2000/0903 He thanks ALG for his friendly letter. He is sorry he couldn't write sooner but he fell and broke his right arm. He informs ALG about his articles in the Hungarian papers that he has been writing for 39 years, including literature reviews and writings on music and aesthetic. In general, István's work promotes the Hungarian culture around the world. However, after his invited talk at Hungary's millennial ceremony at Torontó, he has been accused, by fellow illiterate Hungarians, of giving false information and impression about the great King St. Stephen. His recent hobby is close translation of the German "Liederpoems" and he also calls ALG's attention to his new study "Veni Sancte". Hungarian CALG 13/21.07 Dr. Oláh Antal (Tóni) to ALG2000/1110 ALG's former student, Tóni, is sorry for not replying sooner to ALG's postcards. He thanks ALG for the articles too. Tóni draws a parallel between ALG's straight handwriting, which is just like how it was back then teaching them, and ALG's frank character with its direct goals and his forthright scholarly work. ALG is the ideal, motif, and optimism for his pupils and for the people who are close beside ALG. István has been working hard due to the bishop's new orders to cut down on costs. Nevertheless he is now finishing and editing his great lithurgical work, the Oratio Fidelium appearing in three volumes. He thanks ALG for everything he has given him for so many years. Hungarian CALG 13/21.08 Szentannay Győző to ALG2002/1118 Győző wishes happy birthday to ALG. Unfortunately, this spring, Fényi Ottó, prior, has passed away thus the Alumnus Reunion at Gödöllő was not the same as before. He is sorry that ALG could not make the trip. Győző informs ALG about various cultural events going on in Budapest, Hungary, that he enjoyed very much. Hungarian CALG 13/22 [Texts and Studies. Vol. 20.

He is writing immediately and attaching his new publications as well. Prof. Eckhart also told him that ALG had been ill provided with books for his research. He will try to send him the Regnum, periodicals, such as the Kniezsa, as well as photographs he is interested in. To cut down the expenses, he suggests ALG to send to the Office of National Monuments, in exchange, medieval art magazines published in Torontó. Dedi sends information about ALG's old group of friends: the Deér family is arriving home from Paris, Alföldi will probably stay at the University of Bern, and Zakariás Genthon will leave for Rome next month. They still meet Tuesdays and Fridays, but not with such frequency as before. Together with the Vayers and the Bartóks, they established a new club, called Sailors' Club. Whenever the old friends get together and party they talk a lot about ALG and miss his entertaining stories very much. Since the introduction of the established price, everyday life for civil servants has been becoming more and more difficult, their salary providing them only with food and nothing else. Snubi is asking ALG to send, through emergency funds, some sort of help to her sister, Zsuska Karay, who is in Germany and is dependent on foreign help. Hungarian CALG 13/25.04 Letter to ALG from the Director of the Archives de France1948/0407 French CALG 13/25.05 Prof. Moravcsik Gyula to ALG1948/0504 He thanks ALG for the microfilms he sent. He would like to reciprocate and send new publications by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Elections at the Academy are coming up, but young candidates are not considered for membership at this time. He sends his friendly wishes. Hungarian CALG 13/25.06 Prof. P.G. Löhr, Arbertinum, to ALG1948/0610 German CALG 13/25.07 Letter from the "Monastère des Dominicains", Ottawa, to ALG1948/0621 French CALG 13/25.08 Dr. Dercsényi Dedi, to ALG1948/0707 He will send ALG the Regnum and other new publication, such as the Primate of Hungary in Esztergom Topography collection and the latest volume of Századok. Should ALG decide to help his brother-in-law, Karay Kálmán, in Germany, he is to spend the corresponding amount of money on them, instead of paying it back to Dedi. Above all, they need food. Snubi thanks ALG for helping her relatives in Germany. The Karays were brought to complete ruin by the new established prices. Since ALG surely remembers how difficult the same thing was in Hungary, he will understand their situation abroad. Hungarian CALG 13/25.09 Angyal Endre to ALG1948/0801 He thanks ALG for his letter and the interesting memoir. Endre published an article in the local daily newspaper of Pécs based on this material. The apparent great success of the issue was due to ALG. People from his home-town are still very interested in his whereabouts. ALG's mother sends her heartfelt love to him from her sick-bed. Endre asks ALG whether there is a possibility for him to tour in the States for a couple of months, lecturing as an expert in South-Eastern European and Baroque Languages. Hungarian CALG 13/25.10 Dahna to ALG1948/1008 English CALG 13/25.11 Garay László to ALG1948/1009 As an old friend of his mother's from Pécs, he gives a detailed account of ALG's mother's illness and eventual death. He sends all the best to ALG in his future studies and endeavors and thanks for the presents. Hungarian CALG 13/25.12 Angyal Endre to ALG1948/1205 He offers his condolences to ALG for loosing his mother. Now life in Hungary is full with hardship and Endre and his mom are very poor and ill. Because of others from America haven't even respond to his pleading, now he appeals to ALG. Meanwhile he finished his habilitation, titled Hungarian Literature along the Danube, and is ready to start teaching at the University next month. Hungarian CALG 13/25.13 Dr. Arthur Toffler to ALG1948/1220 Dr. Alexander Baumgarten informed Dr. Toffler that ALG is going to help in Alexander's pending case, here America, which is closely related to his livelihood. The case is about freeing his assets that were blocked during World War II. Now that Alexander is not able to return to Hungary from France he needs his money for his subsistence. Arthur attaches an affidavit that ALG needs to sign and testify in front of a notary public. People from Hungary are afraid not only to officially testify in this regard but also to simply write back. In the name of Mr. Baumgarten he thanks ALG for his kind help. Hungarian CALG 13/26 [Personal Correspondence]1949 CALG 13/26.01 Dr. Réthly to ALG1949/0111 Ranschburg bookseller contacted him about the two manuscripts: the History of Saint Benedictine and the Gombos Albin Fontes. As ALG requested, he delivered the books to Mr. Ranschburg and now he is able to take out the custom permits and send them to the Notre Dame Library. If this transaction had been arranged through them, that is through the Academy, that would not have been a problem either since the materials were to be considered an exchange. In turn, ALG sends valuable books to the Hungarian Academy that they are in need of. Also he informs ALG that there is some sort of a new embargo on unsolicited gift parcels and that this decree was due to the fact that people started to abuse the packages. Hungarian CALG 13/26.02 E.C. Tisserant, Vatican, to ALG1949/0124 French CALG 13/26.03 Hollósi Lajos to ALG1949/0315 He appeals to ALG to help his son who has been living in Germany for four years now while trying to emigarate to the USA. They live under horrendous circumsatances making enough money only for the day's rations. Lajos offers to compensate Ottó, ALG's brother, for his kind financial help. Hungarian CALG 13/26.04 Dr. Réthly to ALG1949/0317 He just heard from Mr. Ranschburg that the books ALG asked for were successfully sent to Notre Dame University. Dr. Réthly is now waiting for ALG to confirm that he received the material for that these were the Academy's very rare books. In return for this favor, he would like ALG to send gift parcels. Although it has great disadvantages, such as the huge customs duty and other aggravating restrictions, it's still worth it. Hungarian CALG 13/26.05 Angyal Endre to ALG1949/0411 He is concerned because he did not receive any answer to his previous letters from last year. Endre is sending news about scholarly and literary life from Hungary, such as Kardos Tibor returning from the Academy of Rome and leading the Italian Department at the University of Budapest. Hungarian CALG 13/26.06 H. Pouillon to ALG1949/0509 French CALG 13/26.07 E. Pelleg to ALG1949/0707 French CALG 13/26.08 Meszlényi Antal to ALG1949/0914 He is glad that ALG met Mnsgr. Ryan and could express in person his thanks for the cassock material. Antal stopped teaching at the University but he is still occupying the chair at the Hungarian Academy. This year, according to the rules of the Academy, ALG can be elected as an outside member of the Academy only. But later, after ALG's visitation in person, this could be changed to a regular membership. Hungarian CALG 13/26.09 Lenke Szászdi to ALG1949/0927 She asks ALG, then director of the French School, to help her husband and her get the emigrant visa to leave the Guatemalan American Center and go to the USA. Lenke asks ALG if he would ask his friends in high circles, such as Queen Zita, to help in this entaglement. Lenke's son, Adam, studies in Cleveland, and her brother-in-law is there as a medical doctor too. So they have a place where to go but they don't have the visa. Just as a reminder, Lenke's cousin, Hermann Büeler de Florin, wrote an extensive biography of King Károly, Zita's husband, two years ago. Hungarian CALG 13/26.10 Bolváryné, br.Splény Ilona to ALG1949/0928 She asks ALG to help her husband, ALG's former student from Gödöllő, and her to obtain the entry visa either into USA or into Canada. Now, they are living in an Austrian refugee camp and for the International Refugee Organization takes years to find work for them in America, if at all. This is why she appeals to ALG and his acquaintances in high circles. They have already registered with the N.C.W.C., which helps refugees to emigrate to the US, but there are too many appeals and just a few quotas. Hungarian CALG 13/26.11 Gida to ALG1949/1003 He thanks ALG for the trip and for ALG's hospitality. Since he left, already on the ship, Gida finished the introduction about Hungarian Saints and he'll mail it to ALG as soon as it is proofed. He encloses a few snapshots in this letter. He is looking forward to read ALG's review about the Hungarian Codex. Hungarian CALG 13/26.12 Falkai Kázmér to ALG1949/1124 Kázmér reminds ALG of the time they met last time: ALG was a young priest while he was a young architect. Since then he had to leave Hungary and now lives in a refugee camp in Austria. Because he can't find any job, not even manual labour, their living standard in below minimum and their health is slowly deterioriating. He traced down ALG's address somehow and now appeals to him to help them leave Austria and emigrate to the United States through some kind of religious organization. Only healthy and/or uninjured people are qualified to emigrate, but Kázmér will obtain a certificate that proofs their fitness to be manual workers. He also informs ALG about their common friend from school, Milákovits, dying in a labour camp where he was serving his imprisonment for life. Hungarian CALG 13/26.13 Királdi Ilona to ALG1949/1202 She thanks ALG for his willingness to help and his kindness he showed to her and her husband since they have been refugees. Ilona informs ALG about their official status in the camp, her influential friends, such as Béla Varga, who promised them help in emigrating to America, and about the possibility to move to Canada through the I.R.O. She asks ALG for help in sending them an affidavit of support. She reassures ALG that they intend to start working as soon as they get to the States so they won't be a burden, not even for one day, to their benefactor. Hungarian CALG 13/26.14 E.C. Tisserant, Vatican, to ALG1949/1219 French CALG 13/27 [Personal Correspondence]1950 CALG 13/27.01 Ormos Dezső to ALG1950/0209 Staying in a German refugee camp since 1945, Dezső asks ALG for help. Together with his wife, he would like to emigrate to the United States, but he doesn't have anybody who could send them an affidavit. He sends ALG his I.R.O. registration number. Hungarian CALG 13/27.02 Dr. Kiss László to ALG1950/0216 On behalf of his client, Mr. Csecskó Pál, he asks ALG to investigate his client's prior marriage, from 1906, in Pennsylvania and if he would be so kind and send them all the relevant paperwork regarding this marriage as soon as possible. Hungarian CALG 13/27.03 C.J. Nys to ALG1950/0304 French CALG 13/27.04 B..., ALG's former student, to ALG1950/0423 He complains about the current political situation, his life in Hungary being a constant struggle for survival. Everybody, who doesn't cooperate with the system is considered guilty. Even though there is religious freedom, AVO members can't marry in the church and every aspect of the society is turned upside down. He is envious of his friends, who left the country in time, because at least they are innocents. He sends best wishes to ALG in his future career. Hungarian CALG 13/27.05 Zolnai Markó to ALG1950/0519 He thanks for the news from ALG. As for his profession, he became a linguist, so this way he can stand neuter. He encloses his dad's letter, written 23 years ago, and asks ALG to forward it to its original recipient, Ferencz Alexander, who now lives in Chicago. Hungarian CALG 13/27.06 Dr. Büki Ernő to ALG1950/0523 He asks ALG to reconsider his previous request about finding his client's marriage certificate and sending it back to Hungary. He sends his friendly wishes to ALG. Hungarian CALG 13/27.07 M. Clauser to ALG1950/0620 He enumerates titles of books related to Hungarian culture and repeats his confiding request to ALG to help them get out of the inferno they live in. Hungarian CALG 13/27.08 Windisch Clarisse to ALG1950/0804 Her request for ALG is to send a reference to N.C.W.C. on behalf of her friend and ALG's former student from Gödöllő, Jurcsek Géza. In case Géza's visa application is being help up ALG's reassurance will surely help the agency in supporting his emigration to America. She is thanking ALG in advance for his possible help. Hungarian CALG 13/27.09 Dr. J.

He asks ALG not to forget them. Hungarian CALG 13/27.12 Garay Ákos to ALG1950/1008 Ákos sends a brief note telling ALG about how he mediated in acquiring the two books ALG asked for. He wishes good luck to ALG in, eventually, obtaining the books. Hungarian CALG 13/27.13 Rozsi to ALG1950/1204 English CALG 13/27.14 Bielitky Kálmánné c/o Szénásy Pál to ALG1950/1204 She wishes that Alg would help convince her mother to return to her father and be an intermediary in this delicate situation. So far nobody knows that she has contacted ALG. She thanks for ALG's kind letter. Hungarian CALG 13/27.15 Andrew Angyal to ALG1950/1217 Andrew has not yet had a reply from ALG in two years nevertheless he has heard about his reverberating academic success. Andrew also heard the news through Zolnai Béla that ALG has been admitted into the American Medieval Academy of Sciences. He sends information about his own research in Hungarian Literature. Andrew is looking forward to hear from ALG soon. Hungarian CALG 13/27.16 Janos Scholz to ALG1950/1217 English CALG 13/27.17 Meta Harrsen to ALG1950/1226 English CALG 13/28 [Personal Correspondence]1951/01-08 CALG 13/28.01 Eileen Egan to ALG/Emile Komora1951/0112 English CALG 13/28.02 F. Masai to ALG1951/0130 French CALG 13/28.03 Földvári and Rácz to ALG1951/0221 They inform ALG how to go about, through Kultura Co., ordering and paying for the two books he mentioned in his last letter. The common practice, contrary to what ALG was told, is to pay in advance for the requested books. Shortly, they will be sending the bill for the requested book about the middle ages. Hungarian CALG 13/28.04 ALG to Dr. Juhász Vilmos1951/0222 ALG did not write sooner because he has been very busy with work. In between his lecture in Chicago and his trip to Canada he was swamped with things to do. ALG encloses a list of his recent publications. He also advises Vilmos to publish an English language newspaper instead a Hungarian one since nobody reads Hungarian publications anymore. Here, in the States, he is overwhelmed with a Hungarian press, which is a work of mercy. ALG asks Vilmos to send some more copies of his article, which has recently been published in the Hungarian Katolikus Szemle. And his next letter, in the absence of accent marks on his typewriter, will be in English. Hungarian CALG 13/28.05 Manhertz Erzsébet to ALG1951/0311 She is glad to let ALG know about Christ Heart Lady's of the People, an association that has been well known in Hungary. Now, four sisters, including Manhertz S.J.C., arrived to Canada to help spread their mission. The I.R.O., however, denied the entry visa for the Sister who is at the head of the organization. The refusal was due to health reasons. She would appreciate it if ALG would send them as little money as he can afford to alleviate their travel expenses. Hungarian CALG 13/28.06 W.V. Bedolfe to Senator Estes Kefauver1951/0324 English CALG 13/28.07 Kultúra to ALG1951/0410 The following two books ordered by ALG are being searched and will be immediately sent to him upon availability: "Topography of Esztergom" and "History of the Prebendal Schools". Hungarian CALG 13/28.08 Lencs Margit to ALG1951/0424 She is happy to hear that ALG became a university professor at this young age. She sends her heartfelt congratulations. Also she'd be very grateful if ALG would enter her name on the list of recipients who get unsolicited gift parcels from America. Her family is poor and needs assistance if at all possible. Since 1948 she has not been in touch with old friends so, sadly, she doesn't have any news. She thanks ALG for his arduous help. Hungarian CALG 13/28.09 Bernard Peebles to ALG1951/0430 English CALG 13/28.10 Dr. Zajtay Imre to ALG1951/0617 As an old acquaintance of ALG, he cherishes the hope that ALG with his authority at the Institute of Advance Studies at Princeton would be able to help him to get accepted at Princeton. Imre sends a short profile of his judiciary studies and academic achievements, encloses his CV, and asks ALG a favour to write a recommendation on his behalf. In return for ALG's help, Imre offers similar help to ALG in France. He voluntarily, albeit for political reasons, left Hungary in 1948. Hungarian CALG 13/28.11 E.M. O'Byrne to ALG1951/0629 English CALG 13/28.12 János to ALG1951/0714 He thanks ALG for his letter and kind offer to wed him and Mary Lou in September. The ceremony will take place as soon as he gets his visa in Canada and can travel. Recently he met count Andrássy Mihály who arrived to Windsor from Belgium and is wondering whether ALG knows the family through his former student, Andrássy Erzsébet. He is looking froward to the big day. Hungarian CALG 13/28.13 Farkas Róza to ALG1951/0718 Róza thanks ALG for his letter, the inquiry after her life, and his kindness to help her out in exile. In the fullest detail Róza tells ALG the story of her life between the two World Wars and during the ensuing dismal conditions of 1945. As a result, in 1948 she was fleeing the horrible conditions in the country. Now she works in England but would like to find a better job in America to be able to support her old mother and her daughter as well. She asks ALG to help on her behalf. Since they haven't met yet, she encloses small pictures of herself and is certain that ALG remembers her uncle, Dr. Farkas Géza. Hungarian CALG 13/29 [Personal Correspondence]1951/08-12 CALG 13/29.01 E & A to ALG1951/0813 They thank ALG for the letter. Today they are moving to Boston and they hope that ALG will be able to visit them at their new place in Chesnut Hill. Hungarian CALG 13/29.02 Vadony P. to ALG1951/0907 After their last meeting in Budapest in 1944 and after leaving Hungary in 1947 as a volunteer worker to England, Vadon P. has been working in England for three years and now is considering moving to America. He asks ALG's intervention is his case, as he already has an affidavit of support but he doesn't know how to get the entry permit to the States. He asks ALG to write back soon with his decision. Hungarian CALG 13/29.03 Taborsky Ottó to ALG1951/0910 In the process of looking for a normal job, Ottó has heard of ALG from Nyári Miklós. He begs pardon for enclosing his C.V. and for asking whether he could visit ALG next week or not. Now he works as a porter in a New York Hospital, learning English. He sends his respect to ALG. Hungarian CALG 13/29.04 James J. John to ALG1951/0918 English CALG 13/29.05 John Tracy Ellis to ALG1951/0919 English CALG 13/29.06 János to ALG1951/0924 János is sorry to say that his emigration has been side-tracked by practical reasons. He is still waiting for his visa from the Canadians. As soon as he knows the exact date of the wedding he'll let ALG know. He sends his respect and kind regards to ALG. Hungarian CALG 13/29.07 Jean Mouton to ALG1951/0928 French CALG 13/29.08 Howard Kenna CSC to ALG1951/1004 English CALG 13/29.09 Zágon József to ALG1951/1008 He lets ALG know about the new Hugarian bookseller and publisher established in Rome, Anonymus. He kindly asks ALG to contribute in order to promote their cause. He encloses the brochure that summarizes their mission, which is the spread of the Hungarian culture around the world. Hungarian CALG 13/29.10 ALG to Ilona Királdi1951/1011 ALG wrote a few lines to Ilona expressing his indignation in regards to her behavior yesterday. She made bad publicity for ALG, however, her remarks are all uncalled for. ALG would like her to stop misrepresenting him in public. He is sorry for writing instead of calling her but he feels that this time it is necessary. Hungarian CALG 13/29.11 Erdélyi István to ALG1951/1020 István proposes to esteblish a compilation called " King Szt. István's American Heritage" put together of Hungarian historical and/or family artifacts that were brought to the United States. Hungarian nuns and monks are the best fit to organize such a compilation and eventually to transport it back to Hungary after the liberation from the Soviets. Should ALG be interested in the project, he is to call István this weekend to further discuss it. The reason he turns to ALG with his request is that ALG is the only person he knows who by circumventing party-politics fights for the Hungarian casue using the weapon of the mind. Hungarian CALG 13/29.12 Jim to ALG1951/1023 English CALG 13/29.13 Iván Raszlaviczy to ALG1951/1029 Iván inquires about ALG's plan to visit. He hopes to see him in Philadelphia and sends his greetings. Hungarian CALG 13/29.14 Ilona Királdi to ALG1951/1105 So far they have not been able to pay back ALG their indebtedness, but Ilona intends to now that her husband started working 60 hours a week. Ilona and her husband arrived to South Bend a year ago and on this occasion they thank ALG all his help on their behalf. She invites ALG to visit their house and sends her husband's greetings as well. Hungarian CALG 13/29.15 ALG to Ilu1951/1107 He is happy to know that the family is satisfied with their new conditions in South Bend. He has helped them along their way as much as he could and he did that for his conscience sake. He always had a clean conscience and therefore he never worried too much about other people's opinions. But it is a sure way to make enemies and is in fact every lonesome person's both priviledge and curse. ALG never thought of getting anything back from Ilu and her family, more particularly since it was Raszlaviczy who arranged their plain tickets. He sends his warm regards to the family. Hungarian CALG 13/29.16 Dezső to ALG1951/1117 They are glad to hear the good news that ALG will be visiting them for christmas at their house. They have very important, but also personal, information to share with him then. Soon Dezső wishes to establish, together with ALG, a magazin that is much better than the other communist publications. Hungarian CALG 13/29.17 Mária to ALG1951/1201 Mária is happy that Ottó is getting better in the hospital. She thanks ALG for the letters and for the packages but she asks for more cigarettes for Ottó. Mária sold the tea and the coffee in order to buy bacon and cigarettes with the money. Also she is trying to find somebody to look after the graves of ALG's parents. Hungarian CALG 13/29.18 Bella József to ALG1951/1205 He thanks ALG for his letter and his kind words congratulating him on his recent article. He informs ALG about the articles on him in various emigrant newspapers that are widely read among Hungarians. He sends his congratulations to ALG for his successes. More importantly, he congratulates ALG on his essay about Saint Margit, which he will read on his Christmas break. He agrees with ALG that the exuberant Hungarian Middle Ages nicely corroborate Western civilization and therefore needs to be studied thoroughly. But Americans have a scrappy education in the real values of the Middle Ages and manyconsider József and ALG old-fashioned. Hungarian CALG 13/29.19 Jim to ALG1951/1216 English CALG 13/29.20 E.A. Lowe to ALG1951/1231 English CALG 13/30 [Personal Correspondence]1952 CALG 13/30.01 E.A. Lowe to ALG1952/0108 English CALG 13/30.02 E.A. Lowe to ALG1952/0113 English CALG 13/30.03 P.R. Creytens to ALG1952/0403 French CALG 13/30.04 C. Zemenszky to ALG1952/0721 He thanks ALG for the information regarding his "Fontes Hungaricae". He wishes he could read it but it is difficult to come at it not only in New York but also in other libraries. He asks whether he could borrow the material from ALG for a month or so, paying, of course, for all shipping and lending expenses. He also expresses his sincere reverence for ALG. Hungarian CALG 13/30.05 Eszenyi Olga to ALG1952/0909 She begs pardon for not calling ALG to wish him a nice trip home from Buenos Aires. Several times, she tried to call the number ALG gave her, but she failed. Olga asks ALG to visit her brother in Washington who works on the case of her emigration to the United States. Hungarian CALG 13/30.06 Szénásy Pircsi to ALG1952/0912 She is sending her third letter without getting any answer from ALG. The emigration quotas have been revoked and Pircsi thinks now it's a good time to inquire about her case not in Sao Paulo but in Washington. She is sorry that she is not in America yet but she hopes that her sister-in-law could help her leave Brazil as soon as she can. Also she asks ALG to write back and sends her warm regards. Hungarian CALG 13/30.07 Dr. Hanzély Ferenc to ALG1952/0926 He asks ALG, again, for help in finding a non-academic position at Marquette University, Milwaukee. Lately, ALG kindly promised to help, but in order to do that he needs more details regarding Ferenc's case and his responsibilites in the past. Ferenc tells ALG about the work he has done in Hungary, including fleeing, in 1944, the very dismal conditions in Hungary. He encloses letters of references that gives evidence of his abilities and hard work both in Germany and in America. He thanks ALG for his kind help. Hungarian CALG 13/30.08 Szénásy Pircsi to ALG1952/1001 Pircsi would like to emigrate from Brazil to America. She encloses her sister-in-law's, Anna's, letter in which Anna is sharing the good news with her regarding the status of her application. She has heard it from good sources that soon Pircsi will get the entry permit to the States. The letter is dated 0923. Also, Hungarian Benedictines think much of ALG, saying how much help and how many opportunities ALG provided to his fellow brothers to help them come to America. Hungarian CALG 13/30.09 L. Mollet to ALG1952/1003 French CALG 13/30.10 R..., former student, to ALG1952/1123 After not writing for so many years, now he sends his warmest regards and heartfelt good wishes to ALG both for his birthday and for Christmas.

Hungarian CALG 13/30.11 Szénásy Piroska to ALG1952/1209 She thanks ALG for the letter and for his advice to inquire about the status of her application at the American Consulate in Brazil. She has tried it many times, yet they couldn't help, telling her to wait patiently for her turn. She is part of the quota system and on the list waiting since 1949. She asks ALG to help her leave Brazil. Hungarian CALG 13/30.12 Lázár Miklós to ALG1952/1210 He thanks ALG for the offer to write an article in the weekly Hungarian newspaper, The American Hungarian. Miklós considers ALG's writings an honour to the magazin and hopes to receive not only one in the special Christmas issue but many more in weekday issues as well. He informs ALG about the success of the paper including its upcoming transformation into a national paper. This week the news came out about ALG's promotion to director of the Medieval Institute at Notre Dame. Miklós congratulates him for this great achievement and looks for to read ALG's writings. Hungarian CALG 13/30.13 Erzsike to ALG1952/1212 She sends information about her new life in Australia where she spends most of her time with the children. In the meanwhile she tries to keep in touch with old friends from home, but this is difficult because many people broke off the ties with her. She sends her warm regards for Christmas and wishes a happy new year. Hungarian CALG 13/30.14 Andrew Kurilla to ALG1952/1216 He sends a prayer to ALG and gives details about his bad health and the pain he is having due to myositis. But he still opens the church every day and is there for the people who need help. Hungarian CALG 13/30.15 Edit to ALG1952/1219 Up until now Edit had hoped that ALG is going to contact her while he is in New York. Now she is the one who writes to update ALG on her new life as a governess at the Kardiner family. The family is rich and claim to be progressive. Edit has different ideals and has a different approach to life. Therefore she doesn't talk much with the family in order not to quarrel and is looking forward to the summer when her employment ends. She heard it from other friends that ALG got promoted and she would like to hear more details. Edit would be happy if ALG would call her when he visits New York again. Hungarian CALG 13/30.16 Rev. Siard Domokos to ALG1952/1228 Siard complains of some of the hardships in the parish, such as the "common pool" the abbot just introduced. As a consequence he is not paid anything and whatever he needs he has to ponce from the parish priest, a very stingy person otherwise. Now Siard is a chaplain and teaches latin but later he would like to use his Phd degree in theology to start an academic career. He also asks ALG to send some information about Antonia Fodor, a Notre Dame employee. In fact it is Sr. Geraldine, a common friend, who indirectly asked ALG to send some information about Antonia. With this, she would like to help Orosz Márta, a lady who will be moving to America from Germany under Antonia's sponsorship. Hungarian CALG 13/31 [Personal Correspondence]1953 CALG 13/31.01 Saád Feri to ALG1953/0103 He congratulates ALG for having such a wonderful career and carrying the world before himself. Feri fled the Russian invasion in Hungary, ending up in Montreal, Canada. But he wants to move to the States by getting a teaching appointment at a Catholic institution and appeals to ALG for help in his plan. Hungarian CALG 13/31.02 Luiz (Lajos) Krivanek to ALG1953/0103 For one year, Lajos and his wife have been on the emigration list at the American Embassy of Rio de Janeiro. They also have an uncle in America who is supporting their move to the States. Lajos asks ALG to be so nice as to get in touch with his elderly uncle and to help him by giving a piece of good advice as to what's the best way to sponsor their cause. Hungarian CALG 13/31.03 Jóska to ALG1953/0106 He received the money he asked for from Mr. Raszlaviczy. Jóska is indebted to ALG for taking the initiative to help them and for his kind and reassuring letter. He congratulates ALG for his promotion to Institute Director, which he found out by reading a Hungarian-language newspapers the other day. Hungarian CALG 13/31.04 Francis (Ferenc) Hanzély to ALG1953/0111 In his letter of March 27, 1952, ALG asked him to send some of his writings and couple of recommendations as proof of identity. He is enclosing copies of three letters. Ferenc is glad to hear that ALG is the Director of the Medieval Institute. Since he speaks Latin fluently, he asks if ALG would help him finding a position for him at the Medieval Institute. Hungarian CALG 13/31.05 R. Bossnak to ALG1953/0202 French CALG 13/31.06 Kázmér to ALG1953/0205 Kázmér is glad to hear that ALG was promoted to Director at the Medieval Institute and there is no time like the present to try to get in contact again. From Austria the family has moved to Cleveland. Now Kázmér, being an architect, helps in designing part of St. John's Hungarian Greek Catholic Church in Cleveland. ALG might be able to help him in the selected bibliography he needs. He also inquires about the Ford Foundation that has been established to help D.P.s become self-supportive. Hungarian CALG 13/31.07 Ilu to ALG1953/0211 After not being able to get in contact with ALG at Notre Dame, she is now writing a resentful letter: she is being displeased that, lately, ALG avoids their house. Ilu thinks that it might be beneath ALG's dignity to visit them. All the same, she invites him over for dinner at his earliest convenience. Hungarian CALG 13/31.08 Olivier Nicole Costa to ALG1953/0216 French CALG 13/31.09 N to ALG1953/0224 ALG is very busy but she/he needs him to write a piece about a certain topic. Also, he/she asks ALG to find in the library a piece comprised of one-act and one-person. Hungarian CALG 13/31.10 Lilla Cazes de Mondenard to ALG1953/0415 She is planning to enroll in the graduate program at Columbia University to study social work. But she has been negligent and left her degree at home in Hungary when they moved. Lilla asks ALG to send an official looking letter to Columbia confirming that she was indeed studying economics and took her degree in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 13/31.11 Horthy to ALG1953/0424 English CALG 13/31.12 Vajay Szabolcs to ALG1953/0517 He thanks ALG for his letter and for the two precious essays. Szabolcs congratulates ALG for organizing Sorbonne's 700 year anniversary and informs him that an article has been publishes on this in his newpaper: Hungarians in South American. He would be happy if ALG would write articles for his newspaper every now and then. He also gave ALG's best regards to Eszenyi Olga. In the meanwhile, he appreciates ALG's immense effort in saving and westernizing the Hungarian culture. They are trying to do congenial work in Argentina. Hungarian CALG 13/31.13 P. Gloriune to ALG1953/0719 French CALG 13/31.14 William Grant S.C. to ALG1953/0825 English CALG 13/31.15 Magda Moshack to ALG1953/1014 Magda doesn't know whether ALG still remembers her. They have met in Paris couple of years ago. She is happy to learn from friends that ALG is America and she is writing to get in touch with him again. She is sorry they haven't met when ALG was visiting Argentina. But they might see each other soon as she is trying to emigrate to the United States. She asks ALG to write as time permits. Hungarian CALG 13/31.16 Amador Octavio to ALG1953/1117 French CALG 13/32 [Personal Correspondence]1954 CALG 13/32.01 Szalay Jeromos to ALG1954/0327 Jeromos is glad to note that both lectures that ALG delivered in Paris -- one at the Sorbonne, the other at the Academy -- were impeccable. Due to more time at hand ALG had more success at the Academy but both talks were outstanding in terms of deliverance of the speech and content as well. Jeromos has never heard such great lectures, and even Marinescu's was weak compared to ALG's. With a few exceptions, such as the writer Balla Borisz, everybody was pleased. But then again Borisz causes annoyance everywhere he goes, not only to ALG. People in Jeromos's circle, those who belong to the Hungarian Catholic Church, don't have a great opinion on him anyway. Jeromos asks ALG to send that Lation quote he mentioned last time because he would like use it as a motto in his book. Hungarian CALG 13/32.02 Brigitte Arnaud to ALG1954/0403 French CALG 13/32.03 ÖV to ALG1954/0831 ALG's interview published in Hungaria proved to be a big success among fellow soldiers. Also he sends two pieces of information, i.e. two articles, on the case of physicist Dr. Jánosy Lajos who, in 1950, returned to Budapest from England because his family back home had been threatened for two months by the Communist Government. He is a well known scientist specializing in atomic physics who now collaborates, doing experiments, with the Soviet authorities in the Caucasus. Hungarian CALG 13/32.04 Magda Asszony to ALG1954/1029 She is sorry to hear that ALG is so tired. He should be resting more and doing things that he enjoys doing. Unfortunately their emigration to America has failed. Above all she is in the middle of a divorce, hoping to get married to Sznacky Antal, former army attaché in Italy, soon. ALG and her have known each other for a long time thus she would like to ask his advice on this big step in her life. She has suffered a lot for the past 25 years, even attempted suicide once, but now she thinks she is finally happy. She wishes all the best to ALG on his upcoming birthday. Hungarian CALG 13/32.05 PRBil to ALG1954/1204 French CALG 13/33 [Personal Correspondence]1955 CALG 13/33.01 Sister M. Teresa to ALG1955/0121 English CALG 13/33.02 Damay Arzén to ALG1955/0126 ALG's letter was a great surprise to Arzén. In his letter ALG inquired about Arzén's brother, Bandi, who used to be ALG's good friend in Budapest. Arzén sends information about his brother, whom he has not seen in ten years, to ALG. Meanwhile he congratulates ALG for his great academic career and for his many distinctions that all substantiate Hungarian people's great reputation at large. He sends information on his family and invites ALG to visit them any time that is convenient for ALG. Hungarian CALG 13/33.03 Louis Pierre to ALG1955/0227 French CALG 13/33.04 János Egon OSB. to ALG1955/0408 He is grateful to ALG for lending the seven books to him so fast. Now János is sending them back. Hungarian CALG 13/33.05 Brigitte Arnaud to ALG1955/0418 French CALG 13/33.06 Irene Dalgiewicz to ALG1955/0908 English CALG 13/33.07 Vali to ALG1955/0916 Vali would have written sooner, but she was busy looking for a job in Rome. As she had promised, on the 10th she went to church for confession and for communion and hopes that ALG too has kept up his resolution. She will always remember ALG's kindness to her. Hungarian CALG 13/34 [Personal Correspondence]1956 CALG 13/34.01 Valéria to ALG1956/0127 She regrets to say that she is broke and can't pay next month's rent for her appartment. She is desparate to find work, but she gets only empty promises. She appeals to ALG to be so kind to send her some money. Valéria thanks for the two coats ALG sent to her mother and to her. Hungarian CALG 13/34.02 The Community at DeWitt to ALG1956/0801 English CALG 13/35 [Personal Correspondence]1957 CALG 13/35.01 Imre to ALG1957/1229 He thanks for ALG's letter. Imre agrees with ALG that the League, in Vienna, is supporting the wrong people and its operations are unrealistic. On one hand they either help priests or aristocrats, on the other hand they help only those who fled Hungary early and had been party members. Imre gets everything he asks for from Ft. Flynn who works for the N.C.W.C. For ALG's information, Imre sends him the confidential news that Cardinal Mindszenty, head of the Roman Catholic Church in Hungary, is advocating wrong causes and is asking to aid people who don't really stand in need of help. Imre is sorry to hear that ALG works from early morning until late night. He urges ALG to take action to connect their former disciples and start organizing reuniouns. Before their deportation, Imre has delivered ALG's belongings to his brother while his books to Mr. Godefied. Hungarian CALG 13/36 [Personal Correspondence]1958 CALG 13/36.01 Zolnai B. to ALG1958/0810 Zolnai thanks ALG for his kind postcard from Paris. He is very sick and might not have much time to live. He suffers from ataxia. He encoleses copies of his lectures and articles and asks ALG to donate them to the Libraries in Paris. Zolnai doesn't know what to do with his 7000 volumes that are scattered all over the house. Also, he sends ALG his cousins address from Paris. Should ALG meet him and his family, he is to say nice things about Zolnai. Hungarian CALG 13/36.02 Németh Balázs to ALG1958/1103 The historian, Benda Kálmán, asked him to send this note, through Vienna, to ALG. He appeals to ALG to help out the family of his friend, who was sentenced to four years in prison for military espionage. They have two kids and are very poor. Should ALG send either hard currency or unsolicited gift parcel through the league, he is to send it to Dr. Kosáry's wife. Benda Kálmán and him are thanking ALG in advance for his kind help. Hungarian CALG 13/36.03 Stephen Taylor to ALG1958/1115 English CALG 13/37 [Personal Correspondence]1959 CALG 13/37.01 Ida to ALG1959/0420 She thanks ALG for his kind note for her birthday. She would have written sooner, but the family was ill. She regrets for not writing sooner because she remembers ALG long ago saying how happy he always is when receiving letters from Budapest; they all make him cheerful. However, Ida's feelings are hurt because when they needed help going through several hardships ALG didn't lift a hand to help them -- the family he was part of for nine whole years -- . She is sorry to be blunt when saying that ALG has been indolant. Ida asks ALG to send pictures of himself and to write either in Hungarian or English. Hungarian CALG 13/37.02 Burger Károly to ALG1959/0824 He is happy to hear that ALG is planning to pay a visit from Paris. He has always been very proud of ALG and of his work. Hungarian CALG 13/37.03 Burger Károly to ALG1959/0909 Károly is sad to hear that ALG has changed his plans and will not be able to visit them. He thanks ALG for his kind words regarding his scientific work in medicine. He is enclosing a copy of his essay that should be of interest to ALG -- not as the scholar in historical studies but rather as the priest and as the joint regent. The work is about the immorality of artificial insemination that is so popular these days. Hungarian CALG 13/38 [Personal Correspondence]1960 CALG 13/38.01 Ida to ALG1960/1214 ALG's last postcards were very pleasing to her, but she hasn't yet received a response to her letter from last year. Ida informs ALG that their apartment, in which ALG spent so many years, had to be divided up into three smaller apartments due to current regulations. It was a miracle that lately Ida was issued a travelling passport and subsequently she plans to spend the next summer in Austria. Ida complains again that they live in misery and in strained circumstances -- her husband has just retired and is not allowed to work for extra cash -- yet they don't have any Hungarian friends abroad who might help them. She wishes Happy Christmas. Hungarian CALG 13/38.02 Anne Marie Föllström to ALG1960/1228 English CALG 13/39 [Personal Correspondence]1961 CALG 13/39.01 Bözse to ALG1961/0212 Fleeing Hungary four years ago, Bözse now lives in Sweden with her daughter and grandson. Bözse and ALG haven't met for 15 years but she hopes that ALG didn't forget her and the times before the second World War in Budapest. Bözse will spend half a year in Philadelphia next year and hopes that ALG will visit her there. Hungarian CALG 13/39.02 Imre to ALG1961/0425 He thanks ALG for his brief note and agrees with him that it's time for them to meet and have an abundant conversation. If ALG would send him an article Imre would be pleased to put it in his newspaper "Hungarian Quarterly". Hungarian CALG 13/39.03 Iduka to ALG1961/0719 She thanks ALG for his letter. Now Ida is in Austria and is happy to spend some time in a free country but is sad to think about the awful situation in Hungary. If ALG lived under communism, he would surely understand her: Her husband had retired after 45 years of hard work yet he received pension only for 11 years -- the years he worked under the communist regime. Her father-in-law has been the cavalry's last commander under the Monarchy, which is a very bad point for them in Hungary. Ida informs ALG that lately many of his colleagues have landed in prison, such as a 66 year old lady, a relative of Ida, who will be under sentence for 5 years. Hungarian CALG 13/40 [Personal Correspondence] CALG 13/40.01 Miklós to ALG He is sorry that they haven't met in New York but he hopes to see ALG on his next visit. Hungarian CALG 13/40.02 A former student of ALG to ALG He wishes happy birthday to ALG and congratulates him on his upsweeping career. Lately his life in Hungary has changed: he leads a dull existence that is full with hard work, misery, sometimes hope and sometimes dissapointment. Unfortunately he can't write it down what he really would like to tell ALG. He wishes merry Christmas to ALG. Hungarian CALG 13/40.03 Lili Muráti to ALG Lili would have responded sooner to ALG, but she couldn't make out ALG's handwriting. Thus she didn't know who sent the letter. She is very sad about the loss of her husband. Now she is on tour but still ALG should write to her. Her mother will forward the letters to her. Hungarian CALG 13/40.04 Tatád to ALG He asks ALG to send some medication for her mother who is recovering from a major surgery. Hungarian CALG 13/40.05 Jack G. to ALG English CALG 13/40.06 Evelyn A. Ronsseld to ALG English CALG 13/41 [Personal Correspondence]1955-1972 Early letters from friends, acquaintances, and former students and colleagues. CALG 13/41.01 Zugschwerdt Júlia alias Ottó to ALG1955/0313/ It has been 15 years since his class has left the nest built by ALG. He heard that since then ALG, among many others, chose the easy way out and emigrated. A couple of them stayed there and now it's time for remembrance. He hopes that ALG did not forget him and his own past just because he is now doing well and that he will write soon. Now, Ottó is disgraced to a quayside worker. He reminds ALG to keep his promise and pay a visit to them. He asks ALG whether he knows anything about the whereabouts of Tala, Molvány, and Gomperer who attended the same school. Hungarian CALG 13/41.02 Weiss Loli to ALG alias Bumi1955/1211/ She did not write sooner because she has been very busy and exhausted. The last time she heard from ALG was on the occasion of Irenke's death. She is consumed by the terrible everyday life she has now. She is, however, happy to hear that ALG's career is nicely taking shape. Not only will ALG enjoy the fruits of his hard work, but also will succeed in promoting the Hungarian culture in throughout the world. He made the right choice. She wishes happy Christmas to ALG. Hungarian CALG 13/41.03 Ida to ALG alias Bumi1955/1211/ Because Ida has not received any news from ALG for so many years, especially when Loli had been sick and they went through a dreadful period of time, she realizes now that ALG has never cared any more about the fate of the ones he left behind. Hungarian CALG 13/41.04 Austrian Red Cross to ALG1957/0219/ German CALG 13/41.05 Franz Gabriel to ALG alias Laczi1957/0715/ German CALG 13/41.06 Büky Ernö to ALG1958/0625/ He is the lawyer representing ALG and Ottó in the vineyard case. He asks ALG to send back his trust-deed signed by two witnesses and certified by a notary of the Hungarian Consulate. Hungarian CALG 13/41.07 Reginald to ALG1960/0126/ German CALG 13/41.08 Délamerikai Magyar Hírlap to ALG1960/0517/ He sends inforamtion about his new life and his new benedictine home in Brazil. His mission in Paris is done and he thinks that the Hungarian Newspaper in Brazil needs his help and expertise. But he doesn't speek the Brazilian language yet to be able to mingle with the locals. He asks ALG to write an article for their paper. Hungarian CALG 13/41.09 Hedwig Gehring to ALG1965/0823/ German CALG 13/41.10 Veronica Ember Somogyi to ALG1968/0501/ She apologizes for not writing for such a long time. Even now is hard to give a full account of the last 20 years in a brief letter. She informs ALG about her father's work and eventual death in 1952, about the horrors of the 1956 Revolution when their house was under direct bombardment, about her job at the Museum of Art, and about her 10 year old son, Gyula. The valuable Brueghel-book that ALG gave her before he left, unfortunately, got smashed during the revolution, but she still treasures it. She sends her great respect to ALG and asks him to bear them in his mind in the future. Hungarian CALG 13/41.11 B. Bedolfe alias Bobbie to ALG alias Bumi1968/1104/ English CALG 13/41.12 Franz Gabriel to University of Notre Dame1970/0920/ German CALG 13/41.13 Dragsits Ottó to ALG1972/1210/ Oláh Tibor told him about somebody taken a photograph of ALG in Yugoslavia. Also Ottó heard that, in 1973, ALG might be coming home to give a talk in Budapest. He is planning a surprise reunion with his classmates for this event. Everybody in the class would love to see their old Professor again. This would be something that nobody even dared to dream about couple of years ago. Exectly today, 28 years ago, the Russians had occupied Máriabesenyö, the place where Ottó is now. He remembers that later, on January 17, the monastic quarters in Gödöllö were evacuated and everybody, including ALG, had to leave.

It's not that he likes using other people's belongings. It was the harsh circumstances made him accept the coat, the grey suit, etc. Still he regrets it. In the future he would like to earn a living so he can provide for himself. Ottó asks ALG to send Norbertinum a letter explaining the situation. He just got back from, Pécs, the town where they had grown up. Flying back, the plane almost crashed in a storm, so now he is happy to be alive. He left their family house, in which their mother died recently, untouched. He also visited their parents' graves and placed two wreaths on them, one in the name of ALG. Standing there, he felt lonely and sad. Meanwhile Christams is coming up, which would only bring him more pain. ALG is the only person in the world Ottó could rely on. He explains that the political situation in Hungary is becoming unstable and he wants to emigrate. Ottó is concerned that waiting for a passport to emigrate would take a long time. Thus he would like to escape through the border. He visited ALG's friend, Mr. Ader, to ask for some advice in this regard. Mr. Ader said the situation in Chehszlovakia was even worse. Now Ottó is waiting until December 15th to make a decision as to escape or wait patiently for his passport. He hopes that ALG's letter will arrive by then. He heard that ALG would pay a visit to Mary in Toronto and kindly asked him to send a picture of her to him. Ottó is planning to send a Christmas card to her for Budapest. Hungarian CALG 14/02 [Family Correspondence]1949 CALG 14/02.01 Ottó to ALG1949/1122 Ottó thanks ALG for his last letter, in which ALG expresses concern about his letters causing inconvenience to his brother. But Ottó responds that the letters are of no nuisance whatsoever since now Hungary is a free country where people choose freely who they correspond with. Thus opened or damaged letters received by ALG are just a postal clerk's insolence, nothing else. Ottó is making sure that ALG will be getting the books he requested from the library. He asks his brother to send him a list, typed on a letterhead, of the titles the university needs. With this letter, he will then go and ask his friend, Dr. Szabó Tóni, for help. Ottó is sorry for ALG spending Christmas alone. His plan is to spend Christmas, just as before, in their family home at Pécs, where their father passed away. Ottó has always been a true blue Hungarian. Subsequently he will fight for his land, the house and for all the memories attached to them. Meanwhile Ottó tries to deliver some of ALG's belongings to Mr. Paulay, as ALG requested. But he is not able to get in touch with them. Hungarian CALG 14/03 [Family Correspondence]1950 CALG 14/03.01 Ottó to ALG1950/0214 Ottó thanks his brother for the package and the two letters. Yet he is upset because, reading in between the lines, ALG has been critical of his faults and shortcomings. Ottó asks ALG to be more honest and not to sugarcoat the probems they have between them. He calls for open comment. ALG's second letter, which, again hurt his feelings gave him the impression that ALG sends him packages only to get rid of him for a while. Still, he asks ALG to spend a few minutes of his time and write a brief letter to his only brother. Now Ottó is being very irate but he will get over it. He has sent ALG's book requests to the Main Library and hopes that they will resolve the matter soon. Hungarian CALG 14/03.02 Ottó to ALG1950/1102 Ottó complains about his financial situation and thanks his brother for the package he sent again. He sends information concerning the family estate in Makár, close to Pécs. Unfortunately, wine-growing is not profitable any more due to the huge taxes, so Ottó is not really interested in harvesting grapes any more in the future. He wants, however, to keep the land especially the part that's his. Ottó is afraid to leave his current job at the university print and find better employment. If he quits, he is going to end up on the black list of the Secret Service and they will pester him with questions. On behalf of lawyer Perlaky Gyula, he asks ALG to send some records. On the weekend, on the way home from church, he has met many old friends, including Szénási Béa. Hungarian CALG 14/03.03 Ottó to ALG1950/1218 Ottó informs his brother that according to Hungary's official gazette, the Hungarian state appropriated all of ALG's assets and belogings in Hungary, including his citizenship. Government officials assesed the value of the property and then partitioned it. But Ottó has just been informed about a new government decree which would allow him to buy back the allegedly abandoned premises. He asks ALG's opinion about this and sends best wishes for Christmas. Hungarian CALG 14/04 [Family Correspondence]1951 CALG 14/04.01 Ottó to ALG1951/0119 Ottó is concerned about ALG because he didn't respond to his letters. Having sent two letters already, he stresses the point again that it wasn't the package he was really waiting for but a few kind words from his brother. He sends information to ALG about the family asset. Unfortunately, he needed to sell it to Gábriel Pista, their relative, in order to be able to pay off Pali. But the selling was only formal and therefore he could keep his part. ALG's share of the property belongs to the state anyway and there is nothing that can be done about it. Hungarian CALG 14/04.02 Ottó to ALG1951/0312 Ottó informs ALG that he received the package, the money for the vineyard expenses and also ALG's three letters. He is upset at Pali because if he had not told everybody that ALG lives in America, the government would not have taken over the land. He asks if ALG had received the books sent by the Main Library from Budapest. Lately, he has mailed the pictures of ALG as a soldier together with his parents. He is ill with his throat and as soon as he gets better will write a long, more informative, letter. Hungarian CALG 14/04.03 Ottó to ALG1951/0329 Ottó was very happy to receive the packages ALG has sent him. It improves his financial situation and now he can dress well. Everybody in the office liked the photo of ALG standing next to his new black car. Unfortunately, the postoffice returned the pictures of ALG back to Ottó. He wants, therefore, to try another way to ship it. Ottó had just renovated his new and spacious apartment for Easter. He is glad to have such a caring and good brother. Hungarian CALG 14/04.04 Mária Tarr to ALG1951/0331 On behalf of Ottó, Mária is thanking the presents and sends her respect to ALG. She askes him to address the letters to her until Ottó stays in hospital. Hungarian CALG 14/04.05 ALG to Ottó1951/0401 ALG responds to his brother 03/29 letter from The Institute of Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey. He is glad that he is not at home now. Lately he gets frustrated often and then he would drive along the long roads of New Jersey to blow off the air. He doesn't keep in touch with people too much, thus feeling lonesome many times. But it's worth living such a secluded life since it is in the name of scientific truth. Above all, ALG is trying to avoid fellow Hungarians who bragged about their prosperity not long ago, but in fact they are utterly poor. ALG is asking Ottó to take good care of his parents' graves. This is his only earnest request from his brother. He wants Ottó not to forget them. Since Ottó has always been his parents favorite little son, he will, in turn, be of assistance to Ottó and to his future family. ALG regrets that, because of sheer bad luck, he couldn't spend enough time with his parents while they were alive. He plans this summer to sell his old car and buy a new Landcruiser that is the biggest car offered by Studebaker. He knows that it's Ottós favorite. He also asks a favor from his brother to invite Mr. Horanszky Imre over to his apartment. Hungarian CALG 14/04.06 Mária Tarr to ALG1951/0402 Mária is asking ALG to send some money to cover the huge health care costs of his brother, saying that she'll be taking care of him faithfully. She will write often to let ALG know about his condition. Hungarian CALG 14/04.07 Mária to ALG1951/0411 Mária is optimistic and hopes that with time and patience ALG's brother will recover from diphtheria. Until then she will regularly visit him in the hospital. Since they make good money by selling coffee or tea, she is asking ALG to send more next time. She thanks for the letter and reassures ALG to follow his advice. Hungarian CALG 14/04.08 Mária Tarr to ALG1951/0414 Mária sends information about Ottó becoming very sick with his throat and eventually ending up in the hospital. He would be very happy if ALG visited sometimes so he could see his brother once more. She sends her best regards to ALG. Hungarian CALG 14/04.09 Mari Tarr to ALG1951/0426 Mária received ALG's package. She had sold some items from it, on the street, right after she picked up the package, coming out of the building. Mária is complaining about Cuca's health and the rising costs this entails. Above all, doctors cost the most. Since they can't keep up with the huge standing expenses, following ALG's advise, they will sell the apartment. As a loyal former student of ALG, she is sending her best regards. Hungarian CALG 14/04.10 Mária to ALG1951/0427 She thanks ALG for the package, for the letter and the nice poem entitled "For my mother". ALG is being very kind to look after not only her but other former students of his too. Allegedly she has been conspiring with the enemy and, thus, she was kicked out of the university. But she can't proove her innocence since seven people gave false evidence against her. All this is a hoax. She is going to write again soon, before and also after her tonsil surgery. Mária sends her best regards to her former Professor. Hungarian CALG 14/04.11 Mária to ALG1951/0605 Mária thanks ALG for the package and for his letters. She informs him about their common friends, Olga and Pali, being ill. She also regrets that ALG has confused her with another women who used to work at the university print, Bencs Mária. She will send a picture of herself soon. Hungarian CALG 14/04.12 Mary to ALG1951/0608 Mary send best wishes to his former professor and informs him about Olga's illness. Hungarian CALG 14/05 [Family Correspondence]1952 CALG 14/05.01 Ottó to ALG1952/1118 Ottó thanks his brother for the package and the letters. He is indebted to ALG for his financial and emotional support when he needed it most. While he was sick, Mária cared for him, day and night, for 40 days. But he thinks that she is not being honest enough. Therefore he is planning to break off the relationship. He asks ALG's advice in this regard. He still can't leave Budapest's territory. The political situation is not as frightening as before, but still ALG's file is not yet closed. Above all, the authorities had not yet issued a bill of indictment against ALG. Subsequently, he has found employment only in a factory working 12 hours a day doing manual labour. Also the pay is very low. He asks ALG to pray for him and sends his best wishes. Hungarian CALG 14/06 [Family Correspondence]1953 CALG 14/06.01 Ottó and Mary to ALG1953/0410 They send their best wishes to ALG for his name-day. Hungarian CALG 14/06.02 Mary to ALG1953/0912 She is sending her best wishes from the cemetery where the graveyards of ALG's parents are. Hungarian CALG 14/06.03 Ottó to ALG1953/1127 Ottó congratulates ALG on his birthday. Hungarian CALG 14/06.04 Ottó to ALG1953/1218 Ottó sends a few lines wishing happy Christmas to ALG. He intends to spend the coming Christmas in his office where a Christmas tree will be decorated. He will place not only pictures of ALG and his parents under the tree, but also his mother's old Bible and his dad's worn soldier hat that he wore when he died. He asks ALG to send some more cigarettes. Hungarian CALG 14/07 [Family Correspondence]1954 CALG 14/07.01 Ottó to ALG1954/0524 Ottó thanks ALG for the package and congratulates him for his trip to Paris. Since he has never liked being indebted to anyone, he is now getting married. But Mary and Ottó will postpone the church ceremony until ALG will be home. A lady in Pécs is taking care of the parents' graves, cleaning them once every month. Hungarian CALG 14/07.02 Ottó to ALG1954/1116 He congratulates ALG on his birthday and sends him warm wishes. Hungarian CALG 14/08 [Family Correspondence]1955 CALG 14/08.01 Gábriel Ottóné to ALG1955/0217 After two years of not having written a word, Gábrielné Ottó Mária is now sending a note again and attaching photos of their 8 months old son. His name is Ottó László. She is curious how ALG's book on the history of the Ave Maria College in Paris is coming along. Mária is infoming him about their everyday life and sending him her warmest regards on behalf of the whole family. Hungarian CALG 14/08.02 Ottó to ALG1955/0309 Ottó sends information about how they are bristeling with difficulties and complains to have money worries. His son is now 2 years old, but already prays every night. Recently, he has heard a 20 minutes long commentary on ALG's new book on the radio. He wishes a very happy Easter. Hungarian CALG 14/08.03 Ottó and Mary to ALG1955/0605 They are happy for ALG that he is becoming world famous and that he gets invited to European capitals to give talks, traveling all around the world. Ottó is sorry for not having written much lately but he was busy. He sent ALG a picture from the time ALG has been a soldier. They send best wishes for his nameday. Hungarian CALG 14/08.04 Ottó to ALG1955/1115 Ottó is being angry because the police is still pestering him. After explaining them the same thing over and over again, that ALG is a university professor doing scientific research in America and that Ottó sends letters to him because ALG is his only close relative in the world, the authorities still give him a hard time. He owes nobody any explanation as to why he keeps in touch with his own brother and despite the hardship, he will keep writing to ALG in the future, namely, twice a month. On behalf of the whole family he sends heartfelt best wishes for ALG's 48th birthday and for Christmas and promises that everybody in the family will pray for him on his birthday. Hungarian CALG 14/08.05 Ottó to ALG1955/1212 The family wishes him merry Christmas and sends best wishes and love to ALG. They received both packages. Ottó would appreciate it if ALG would send some used clothing in the next package since that's what they need most. Hungarian CALG 14/09 [Family Correspondence]1956 CALG 14/09.01 Ottó to ALG1956/1004 Ottó thanks for the package he received from München, Germany. It was sent by ALG through a friend of his. Ottó lists the items included in the package and he is glad to hear that they are all useful. Recently, he has been rehabilitated and then promoted to be the manager of a machine-factory. Ottó asks ALG to send their cousin's, Gábriel Franci's, address who lives in Austria. The reason for his request is that the political situation is improving and he might be able to travel to Austria. He has heard that there are no more restrictions on traveling back and forth from the United States. Hungarian CALG 14/09.02 Gábriel family to ALG1956/1204 Everybody in the family is alive after the revolution. They send best wishes for ALG's birthday. Hungarian CALG 14/10 [Family Correspondence]1957 CALG 14/10.01 Ottó to ALG1957/0107 The ordeal caused by the revolution is slowly coming to an end. Ottó can't find the words to describe the hardship he and his family went through. The most fierce fights happened exactly in their neighborhood, in the ninth district. At times, during several bombardments, he had to lay down the floor and to protect the little Ottó László, with his own body. There was no place to escape the shellings. Because of the cold he got sick and now is struggling with heart problems. Later this year Hungarians will be issued travelling passports. He asks ALG to help him, through his connections, to obtain tourist visas to either France or Germany. Hungarian CALG 14/10.02 Ottó to ALG1957/0123 Ottó is complaining about his health and wants to talk to ALG in person. He needs a visa to be able to visit him in America. He would like to explain, one day, the emotional reasons why he decided not to leave Hungary. He thanks for the packages and the money ALG sent and sends best wishes to him. Hungarian CALG 14/10.03 Ottó to ALG1957/0212 Ottó assures ALG of the condition of their parents' graves. The rumors ALG has heard that it's not being taken care of as it should be, are false. Although Ottó is not in Pécs to do it himself, he did ask somebody local, Liktor Lajos, to manage them on a regular basis. Meanwhile, he is dealing with couple of serious personal problems right now and wishes he could talk to ALG in person. Hungarian CALG 14/10.04 Mari to ALG1957/0605 She is asking ALG to send vaccines to her son, as soon as he receives this letter. It's very urgent, because the paralysis epidemic has already reached their neighborhood and there is a considerable shortage and thus great demanand in shots here. Hungarian CALG 14/10.05 Ottó to ALG1957/0618 He is trying to coordinate the meeting with ALG. Either Montreal or Paris would work for him. He urges ALG to send the letter of support for his passport. Meanwhile, he is working on buying back the appropriated vineyard from the state. He is looking forward to see ALG soon and sends best wishes for his nameday. Hungarian CALG 14/10.06 Ottó to ALG1957/0817 Ottós passport is delayed and he doesn't entertain the hope any more to be able to travel this summer. Next summer would be another option. He sends information about how much it would cost to renovate their parent' graves. Also, asks ALG for his phone number. Hungarian CALG 14/10.07 ALG to Ottó1957/0820 ALG sends a note informing his brother that he made arrangements for the vaccine to be sent by his friends via New York and Switzerland. Ottó should have received it by now. Meanwhile Ottós French travel visa is waiting to be picked up at the consulate of Budapest. Another visa for his son, Ottó- László, has been issued as well. This is a tremendous priviledge since no one is issued a visa without already owning a valid passport. But Ottó is still waiting for his. ALG received this information directly not only from the French Foreign Ministry, but also from Francois Sedoux, the French ambassodor in Vienna. ALG has been kept busy working the last couple of weeks. Above all, he can't take any vacation days off this summer. He invites his brother to visit him next May, or any other month that is more convenient for him. ALG can't be reached through September 15 because of his move to another university. In fact, everything at Notre Dame, such as restaurants and dormitories, will be closed down temporarily for maintenance. Hungarian CALG 14/10.08 Mary to ALG1957/0912 Mary is sorry to see Ottó sick. He is hospitalized and taken care of very well. Mary visits him there regularly. Most likely he needs an operation. Hungarian CALG 14/10.09 Ottó to ALG1957/1110 Ottó is still in hospital and has already lost 30 lb. Before his illness, Ottó travelled to Pécs to resolve the issue regarding their estate. He is happy to note that he managed to buy back all the illicitly confiscated assets by the state, that is, their family home and vineyard. Unfortunately both are run-down to such an extent that it would take years to renovate it. He sends heartfelt and warm wishes on ALG's 50th birthday on behalf of his son Ottó- László as well. Hungarian CALG 14/10.10 Ottó to ALG1957/1211 Ottó sends information about their estate in Makár, by Pécs. He asks ALG to send a trust-deed in which he declares his wish that his brother is allowed to manage and/or sublet his share of the premises. Hungarian CALG 14/10.11 ALG1957/1231 He officially declares in front of a notary that his brother Ottó is the rightful user and manager of ALG's estate. He is to manage it or sublet it, as he wishes, for one year, thereafter ALG still being the owner of his share might renew this request by sending another declaration. Hungarian CALG 14/11 [Family Correspondence]1958 CALG 14/11.01 Ottó to ALG1958/0213 Ottó informs ALG about the estate. The case is not yet closed because of the disagreement between the tenant and him. With the help of Dr. Róma, he would like to sell a valuable, fine statue for some extra cash. Many old friends and acquaintance from Budapest started to show interest in ALG's whereabouts, but Ottó thinks that most of these inquires are not sincere and that people have hidden agendas. Hungarian CALG 14/11.02 Ottó to ALG1958/0403 The whole family and also a good friend of them, Dr. Róma, all wish happy Easter to ALG. Hungarian CALG 14/11.03 Ottó to ALG1958/0410 He sends heartfelt and warm wishes to ALG's nameday and informs him that Mary and little Ottó László are spending their vacation this summer on lake Balaton. Hungarian CALG 14/11.04 Ottó to ALG1958/0422 Ottó informs ALG about his plan to file a suit against Szabó László. This person is still illegaly renting their land from the state and occupying the house. He explains the details and the procedure regarding the lawsuit. The local authorities declared that the tenant took over the vineyard through a fraud, but the official contract that led to this, even if wrongful, can only be terminated by the court. He then asks ALG to send immediately a letter of request to his lawyer, Dr. Büky Ernö, who is handling the case. Hungarian CALG 14/11.05 Gábriel Ottó-László to ALG1958/0423 He is four years old and already writing his first letter to ALG with the help of his mother. He wants ALG to visit them as soon as possible. Hungarian CALG 14/11.06 ALG to Legation of the Hungarian People's Republic1958/0507ALG sends a Power of Attorney to be legalized, in which he requests Dr. Büky Ernö to represent him in the suit against Szabó László regarding his share of the Makár vineyard. CALG 14/11.07 Mary to ALG1958/0918 Mary informs ALG that the family has recently moved into a more spacious and comfortable apartment on Vörösmarty street. She expects to have financial difficulties for a while because of the huge moving expenses. Now that they have a spare room, she invites ALG to pay a visit to Budapest next year and stay with them for two weeks. She also asks ALG to send some clothes for his four year old son. But she asks this in secret, not to upset Ottó, who is still at Pécs trying to solve the problems with the vineyard. Hungarian CALG 14/11.08 Ottó to ALG1958/1017 He thanks ALG's for his last letter, in which he said that he intends to travel to European capitals in the summer. For Ottó visiting Paris, Brussels, and Vienna will be just a dream. He has done his best to get a passport, but for no apparent reason, the authorities denied his application. Ottó explains in detail again the compicated situation regarding the vineyard. He speculates that ALG might still be the partial owner. He also plans to sell his share to a friend in order to buy something closer to their home in Budapest. Buzády Károly will carve the gravestone of parents by November. He asks ALG's opinion about the inscription on the stone. Hungarian CALG 14/11.09 Mary to ALG1958/1230 She is sorry that ALG has not yet received the flowers for his birthday. She also informs ALG that they would not be allowed to sell their part of the lot because the property is indivisible. She again invites ALG to spend some time in Budapest with them. She encloses some Christmas photos with this letter and asks ALG to keep in touch. Hungarian CALG 14/12 [Family Correspondence]1959 CALG 14/12.01 Mary to ALG1959/0419 She informs ALG about variuos family events, such as traveling to Pécs to attend the exhumation ceremony, the persistent illness of Ottó, and their son turning five this June. Mary regrets that ALG has missed his mother's exhumation because he lives so far away. They finally managed to sell their lot of the family estate. May be they could all meet next summer when the whole family is having a vacation in East-Germany. Also, if ALG could send them some money so that she can buy nice shoes for Ottós birthday. Hungarian CALG 14/12.02 Ottó to ALG1959/0616 He is glad to hear that ALG will be taking trips throughout Europe this summer. Since it's almost impossible to get a travelling-passport in Hungary, there isn't the faintest hope for him to travel abroad. The application is very expensive and, above all, people get rejected at the end. His plan is to exhumate their mother's body in the summer and then to renovate the gravestone of their parents in the fall. He sends heartfelt wishes for ALG's nameday. Hungarian CALG 14/12.03 Ottó to ALG1959/1120 Ottó thanks ALG for his letters. When ALG has called them from Vienna, the first time in so many years, he was happy to hear ALG's voice again. It brought back nice memories, such as when, as a child, he had heard his brother, standing under the Christmas tree dressed in white cassock, telling a story about a lonely man spending the holiday alone. Today, he is still captivated by this story. But he is also sad because his parents loved ALG more than him. Now it would be nice to share memories together, however, they lived so much apart that they don't have any. Hungarian CALG 14/12.04 Mary to ALG1959/1221 Mary is transmitting little Ottó Lászlós wish to get a present from ALG, either a toy ship or a car, for Christmas. She congratulates ALG for his birthday and asks if there is anything he would like from Hungary. Hungarian CALG 14/13 [Family Correspondence]1960 CALG 14/13.01 Mary to ALG1960/0428 Lately she has been very busy with Ottós poor health and the demands of little Ottó- László who will start school this fall. Finally, Big Ottós dream to own a car has come through: He bought an East-German Wartburg. In response to ALG's question: they keep both his old book and the new ones in a separate bookcase together with the photos ALG left behind in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 14/13.02 Ottó to ALG1960/0613 Ottó met ALG's former students at the reunion. Everybody missed ALG and the students have talked about their professor with great esteem and heartfelt respect. Hungarian CALG 14/13.03 Ottó to ALG1960/1125 It is with deepest gratitude and emotion that he thanks his brother for dedicating his latest book to him. Now, through the book, he is able to travel in the world and declare everywhere the importance of brotherly love. In two years, he is planning on exchanging his car to a new Opel. For this transaction he will probably need ALG's help, using his connections in higher circles. Hungarian CALG 14/13.04 Ottó to ALG1960/1215 Ottó wishes happy Christmas. He is proud of his son who will be sending letters to ALG very soon. Maria, too, is a very good and caring mother. They will all miss him on Christmas. After the holidays, he will be spending sixteen days in the Mátra mountains. He needs some rest since he has been working hard the whole year. Hungarian CALG 14/14 [Family Correspondence]1961 CALG 14/14.01 Ottó to ALG1961/0104 Ottó is asked by his company to spend couple of days in Lipcse, Germany, in March. Since he will not be allowed to bring a lot of foreign currency with him, he asks ALG if he would send around 300 DM. If ALG sends some money to his friend in Lipcse, Ottó would pick it up from there. He is dangling the hope to meet ALG in Lipcse this summer. Hungarian CALG 14/14.02 Ottó to ALG1961/0203 He sends information about his family. Since lately he has not received any news from ALG, he asks ALG again to be of assistance to him when traveling to Lipcse. Hungarian CALG 14/14.03 Ottó to ALG1961/0215 He is glad to hear that ALG is sending him the money through a professor, Max Steinmehr, from Germany. ALG's former student, Gyürky Tibor, will accompany him on the trip. It is unfortunate that ALG will not be able to meet him at this time. Hungarian CALG 14/14.04 Ottó to ALG1961/0612 He is sorry for not having written for a long time but he was very busy. Ottó received ALG's new book and was proud of his brother's unparalleled intellect. He would like to send a small package to France to him with some real Hungarian food in it that ALG probably haven't had for a long time. Hungarian CALG 14/14.05 Ottó to ALG1961/1201 Ottó is worried about ALG not sending any news after he left Europe and went back to America. He complains about the family's health and wishes merry Christmas to ALG. Looking back on time, the last time they met was 16 years ago. Also Ottó sends information about a common friend, Mr. Rona, who is visiting their cousin in Austria and is sending his best regards to ALG. Hungarian CALG 14/15 [Family Correspondence]1962 CALG 14/15.01 Ottó-László to ALG1962/0324 He thanks for the present ALG sent for Christmas. He is sorry to report, but he lost it shortly after he received it. He invites ALG to visit them in Budapest. Hungarian CALG 14/15.02 Ottó to ALG1962/0604 Ottó is making plans for ALG and Mary to meet in Vienna this summer. She will be on a cruise for a week and, if ALG's plan allows him to go to Vienna, she would meet him there. Hungarian CALG 14/15.03 Ottó to ALG1962 Ottó regrets that Marika and ALG could not meet in Vienna and that ALG did not receive the package he sent. Before Marika's trip in Austria, they hiked in the Tátra mountains. He asks ALG if he could send some Pall-Mall cigarettes in the next package. Hungarian CALG 14/15.04 Ottó to ALG1962/1128 Next summer, he intends to meet ALG in Vienna. Their cousin, Franz, who lives there, will be sending a letter saying that he will cover Ottós expenses while in Vienna. This affidavit is necessary for the Hungarian authorities to issue a passport with which he can then travel abroad. The family had a very pleasant summer, travelling all over Hungary. He sends best wishes for ALG on his birthday. Hungarian CALG 14/16 [Family Correspondence]1963 CALG 14/16.01 Ottó to ALG1963/0129 Ottó old dream to own a passport and to travel abroad has finally come through. In January he got his passport, which is valid for one year. He is eager to see ALG again -- whenever and wherever he suggests to meet. It would be their father's wish and he hopes to grant it as soon as possible. Re-visiting Pécs after twenty years, Ottó hardly recognized the faces from old times on the street. Nevertheless he was able to come across old friends and neighbors who all send their best wishes to ALG. Hungarian CALG 14/16.02 Ottó to ALG1963/0429 Ottó is happy to see ALG this summer. The proposed date works very well, but Paris is not a good place to meet. He is not allowed to travel there and will explain the reason for this in person later. Ottó makes the proposition to meet instead in Vienna or in the Austrain Alps. He congratulates ALG for becoming a member of the French Academy. Hungarian CALG 14/16.03 Ottó to ALG1963/0606 As ALG requested, he has postponed his vacation for August. Now that their plans are taking shape, he is anxiuos to meet his brother the first time after 19 years. Hungarian CALG 14/16.04 Ottó to ALG1963/0617 Ottó informs ALG about his intention to leave to Vienna on 25th of July, meet ALG there, and give the nice name-day present to him. Mr. Róna might join him, too, on the trip and also they could pay a visit to their cousin, Franci. Hungarian CALG 14/16.05 Ottó to ALG1963/0703 He is waiting for ALG's response as to where and when exactly they will be meeting. Hungarian CALG 14/16.06 Ottó to ALG1963/0814 Ottó thanks ALG for the couple of unforgettable days they had in Vienna. At departure, when ALG took the Orient Expresss, Ottó could not hold in and started to cry. Now he is writing to ask ALG to pull strings for him to get a new job at KLM Budapest office. Hungarian CALG 14/16.06 Ottó to ALG1963/0906 It came back to Ottó the wonderfult time he had in Vienna and how kind and nice ALG was to him. Now he is asking ALG a favor again: to ask his friends in high circles, who might be able to help Ottó in finding a position at KLM. The atmosphere at his current job is getting worse and worse every day. He would like to leave before this will be a detriment of his health. Hungarian CALG 14/16.07 Mary to Ottó1963/1019 She informs ALG about family events, like their 11th wedding anniversary and their plans to go to Pécs. Recently, they had to buy a new stove and as a consequence they run out of money. She asks ALG if he would be so kind to send a wintercoat for Christmas to their 10 year old son. Hungarian CALG 14/16.08 Ottó to ALG1963/1122 Ottó sends his best wishes to ALG for his birthday and tells him that their next summer's meeting might not come through because he doesn't have enough money - in foreign currency - to pay for the trip. He thanks for his son's wintercoat. Hungarian CALG 14/17 [Family Correspondence]1964 CALG 14/17.01 Ottó to ALG1964/0102 ALG has indeed influential friends everywhere since Otto' has already met the KLM's director, Mr. Wisse, who invited him to his apartment in order to talk privately about various job opportunities. He is also happy to hear that ALG has invited him for a visit this summer and he will immediately file the neccessary paperwork to obtain a visa. Hungarian CALG 14/17.02 Ottó to ALG1964/0215 Ottó asks ALG for help in finding a job in Budapest by pulling some strings. Now he is looking for temporary employment and might have to sell his car shortly. He had received the passport and the necessary visa for traveling and is making plans to see ALG in May. Hungarian CALG 14/17.03 Ottó to ALG1964/0609 Ottó is sad not meeting ALG this May and is worried about not receiving letters from him recently. He drove to Austria hoping they will meet but ALG was too busy to come to see him, even for a meager few hours. He understands that ALG is a world-famous, extremely busy professor -- he has read articles about the ceremony for ALG in Krakow, Poland. But he accuses ALG of forgetting about his brother and misinterpreting the idea of "brotherly love". He thanks for the package and the coat ALG sent to his son. Hungarian CALG 14/17.04 Ottó to ALG1964/1130 He sends heartfelt best wishes to ALG for his birthday in the name of the whole family. Hungarian CALG 14/18 [Family Correspondence]1965 CALG 14/18.01 Ottó-László to ALG1965/0215 He is concerned since they haven't heard from ALG any news for a long time. His father, Ottó, has been in the hospital for three weeks while his mother was in the Soviet Union on vacation for two weeks. He is looking forward to hear news from ALG. Hungarian CALG 14/18.02 Ottó to ALG1965/0311 He gladly accepts ALG's invitation for a visit to Vienna on May 16th. He only asks ALG to send him the train tickets since now he doesn't have a car. In the near future, he would like to ask ALG to help him buy another one. Hungarian CALG 14/18.03 Ottó to ALG1965/0325 He informs ALG about his travel arrangements. Ottós friend, Róna, will be taking him by car to Vienna so he doesn't need train tickets any more. If ALG wants him to, he could bring ALG's diploma for him to keep it. Hungarian CALG 14/18.04 Ottó to ALG1965/0621 Ottó received ALG's letter written in Milan and is sorry that ALG was robbed on the train. He was glad they met in Vienna and he could see ALG. Hungarian CALG 14/18.05 Ottó-László to ALG1965/0702 He thanks for the presents and tells ALG about his 11th birthday. He and his mother, too, are anxious to meet ALG in the spring. His grades in school has been just OK, but now he is working hard on his report so, later, he will be able to continue his studies in the United States. Hungarian CALG 14/18.06 Ottó to ALG1965/1130 He sends best wishes to ALG on his birthday and tells him that his son is looking forward to finally see ALG in person next spring. Hungarian CALG 14/19 [Family Correspondence]1966 CALG 14/19.01 Ottó to ALG1966/0319 He is happy to hear that ALG is planning to visit Europe again this year and wishes to see him. Ottó wants to meet ALG, too, but he can't afford to pay for the trip abroad. He asks for financial help. Most likely, he won't be allowed to go to West Germany, thus Ottó proposes to meet either in Vienna or Italy. Hungarian CALG 14/19.02 Ottó to ALG1966/0610 He congratulates ALG on his name-day. Ottó is worried because they have not received any news from ALG for a long time. He asks him to write a few lines so they know that he is well. Hungarian CALG 14/19.03 Ottó to ALG1966/0810 Ottó thanks for the letter and ALG's kind words for his birthday. He is sorry to miss the opportunity to meet ALG, but he understands that ALG has a busy schedule. Ottó is surprised that Dr. Molnár's son is asking ALG's help. If everybody asks ALG a favour, Ottó, being his brother, will do the same thing. On behalf of his bosses's, Dr. Kabay Sándor, son he requests information about pursuing studies at a Western-European university. Dr. Kabay has travelled to Paris a lot and now asks ALG's advice in studying at Paris. They must know each other from Gödöllő. Also, it is not only difficult to reach Prof. Gömöri in person, but also he is not willing to give out any information about ALG's diploma over the phone. Hungarian CALG 14/19.04 Ottó to ALG1966/0917 Ottó thanks for the detailed information regarding getting admitted into a university abroad. He recently met their common friend, Mr. Szél, from the university press. These days, more and more tourists visit Budapest, including Americans, who are clearly well to do people. Ottó, however, even today doesn't own a car. Hungarian CALG 14/19.05 Ottó to ALG1966/1201 On November 1st, Ottó visited their hometown, Pécs. He asks ALG to inquire at the American Hungarian Consulate about what has happened to his share of the family estate. Now ALG is listed as the rightful owner of the land, but the state considers it abandoned property and sublets it out to somebody. Back in 1957 Ottó requested ALG's section back from the state but to no avail. Neither can he get their stolen furniture back. ALG would not recognize the place where he grew up, should he visit sometimes soon. Due to modern developments, the skyline of Makár, where the family estate is, has changed so drastically that it is almsot unrecognizable. Hungarian CALG 14/19.06 Ottó-László to ALG1966/1213 He thanks for the postcard and asks ALG to send a remote control operated toy ship for Christmas because such a nice present is out of his parent's budget. Hungarian CALG 14/20 [Family Correspondence]1967 CALG 14/20.01 Ottó to ALG1967/0212 Ottó informs ALG of the move to the Buda side of Budapest into a bigger apartment that, in plus, has all the amenities they always wanted. His son keeps bragging about ALG at school and can't wait to meet him in person one day. Ottó met Mr. Dömény from the university press and told him the great news that ALG had received an honorary degree from the Ambrosiana. Hungarian CALG 14/20.02 Ottó to ALG1967/0319 Ottó invites ALG to visit Vienna on a Saturday. He asks for his cousin's, Franci's, address in Germany because he plans to visit him. He has heard that the Pécs University, where ALG graduated, was established 600 years ago and that plans are being made to celebrate this event. Consequently everybody, including Dr. Fényes, is hoping that ALG is going to be a celebrant of this event. Hungarian CALG 14/20.03 Ottó-László to ALG1967/0424 He encloses the instructions pertaining to the model of the ship he would like to get from ALG. Soon, the family is planning to spend some time at the lake Balaton and it would be great to receive the ship before their departure. Hungarian CALG 14/20.04 Ottó to ALG1967/0510 It is difficult for Ottó to plan a meeting in Vienna if ALG is busy traveling all over Europe (now in Portugal). But he still hopes for seeing him next week. He leaves for Vienna on the 19th and stays with friends, such as Kurt Spera or Róna Pista, for one week. Hungarian CALG 14/20.05 Ottó to ALG1967/0701 He is sorry they haven't met and is hoping to see ALG in 1969 again. He thanks for ALG's kind invitation for next year, but the restriction that constrain Hungarian citizens to travel abroad only in every second year to the West, makes it impossible for Ottó to accept it. He also thanks for the money. Hungarian CALG 14/20.06 Mary to ALG1967/0929 ALG must have forgotten about them because they don't get any letter from him lately. Mary complains about the size of their new apartment, which is as big as one room, but she likes the brand new fixtures. Ottó-László will be received into the Church in October and, following his uncle's footsteps, he'll take up the name Astrik. Next year, they want to send him to the Piarist high-school. The school is very competitive and Ottó's current grades are not good enough for him to get accepted. She asks ALG, who is so well connected in higher circles, to help on his behalf. Hungarian CALG 14/20.07 Mary to ALG1967/1121 Mary is glad that ALG called the director of the Piarist highschool to admit Ottó-László next year to the school. Without ALG's effort, their son would not get into this great school. When she visited the director, Balogh Ferenc, he already had been waiting for her and knew about the case. Now, the whole family is anxiously waiting for the school's decision. Eventually Ottó and her are hoping for their son to study with his uncle at one of the great American Unviersities. She sends best wishes for ALG's on his birthday. Hungarian CALG 14/20.08 Ottó to ALG1967/1203 He thanks ALG for helping his son and sends his best wishes for his birthday. Ottó has been promoted to head of the department, which means not only making more money but also having more responsibility. He wishes happy Christmas to ALG and thanks for the picture that is now sitting on his desk already framed. Hungarian CALG 14/21 [Family Correspondence]1968 CALG 14/21.01 Ottó to ALG1968/0118 Ottó-Lászlós has been accepted to the Piarist highschool. If it were for his grades alone, and for other personal matters at his school, he would have never gotten into this highschool, now considered the best in the country. Also he asks for another letter of invitation from ALG. With this letter he would be permitted to leave the country and visit ALG who is lecturing in Koppenhagen this spring. Hungarian CALG 14/21.02 Mary to ALG1968/0201 Mary is happy to find out that Ottó- László will be able to attend the Piarist school next year. She is convinced that it was ALG's influence and connections that helped to fulfill their wish and made all this possible. She remembers ALG from 1946 working together at the Unviersity Press. She hopes to see him again soon. Hungarian CALG 14/21.03 Ottó to ALG1968/0411 Ottó's application for a passport was rejected, because of the two year restriction, thus he hopes to see ALG next year only. In March, he was thinking of ALG on the occasion of the Hungarian-French conference at Sorbonne. Prof. Bognár didn't want to meet Ottó earlier, consequently he is now reluctant to bother him again. Hungarian CALG 14/21.04 Ottó to ALG1968/0518 He met two old friends recently: Máthé who now works at the Academy and Tivay, the former director. Hungarian CALG 14/21.05 Ottó-László to ALG1968/0611 He sends detailed information on what kind of taperecorder he would like ALG to send. He will be using it for his studies and he is asking ALG to send it as soon as he can. Hungarian CALG 14/21.06 Ottó-László to ALG1968/0613 He reminds ALG about the taperecorder. Hungarian CALG 14/21.07 Ottó to ALG1968/0617 The family moved into another, more spacious apartment. His son, Ottó-László, is very happy that he could enroll to the Piarist school exactly on his 14th birthday. Mary is reluctant to let her son join Ottó to meet ALG next year, she not being there. He wishes happy name-day to ALG. Hungarian CALG 14/21.08 Ottó-László to ALG1968/0701 He is going to start high-school this fall and intends to prepare for the exams already in the summer. Thus he would need the taperecorder very much. He thanks ALG for sending one for him from Frankfurt. Unfortunately his father's and his application to travel abroad has been rejected so they won't be able to meet ALG this summer. Hungarian CALG 14/21.09 Mary to ALG1968/1016 She is sending the bad news that recently her father passed away. She is glad for their son doing well so far at his new school. Surely, he would like to come up to ALG's expectations. Hungarian CALG 14/21.10 Ottó to ALG1968/1130 He thanks for ALG's letter. Ottó-László grades at school have been slowly improving. He decided to become a priest. Ottó asks for an affidavit again to go and meet ALG in Europe next summer. He wishes happy birthday to ALG and tells him that the family will celebrate it by keeping their tradition of setting the table for him next to them on that special day every year and pouring wine for him in an empty glass pretending he is there. He also wishes happy Christmas. Hungarian CALG 14/22 [Family Correspondece]1969 CALG 14/22.01 Mary to ALG1969/0103 Mary's best Christmas present of all has been ALG's call in December. Meanwhile, she received the package delivered by a young Hungarian lady who had met ALG not long ago and brought news of him. Mary was told that ALG is a very pleasant and kind man and at the same time has a commanding and respectable personality. Since it is very poor, she also asks ALG whether he would like to contribute financially to the Piarist school or not. Hungarian CALG 14/22.02 Ottó to ALG1969/0104 Ottó informs ALG about couple of old friends he recently met and who ALG probably still remembers, such as Hoensch Loli and Molnár Bubele. He regrets that his son won't be able to join him to a European trip because Mary would never agree to that. Hungarian CALG 14/22.03 Ottó- László to ALG1969/0416 They have a new place and their address has changed too. He would be very happy if ALG would send a small organ so he can play on the organ at home. Hungarian CALG 14/22.04 Ottó to ALG1969/0613 He is planning to meet ALG in Milan on July 14th. Ottó-Lászlós new passion is playing the organ and that he can do very well. Ottó has been very busy lately in between work and doing Mary's share of housework, since she broke her arm two months ago. Hungarian CALG 14/22.05 Ottó to ALG1969/0624 Ottó is making plans to meet ALG in Milan and asks ALG to set up a mutually convenient time for them to meet. He has been showing off with ALG's new book among his friends. Hungarian CALG 14/22.06 Ottó to ALG1969/0725 He thanks ALG for his kind hospitality he showed while they were in Milan. He was glad to see ALG again after so many years. On his return, everybody liked the presents ALG sent. Ottó hopes to meet ALG again in Stuttgart at the end of July. Because of its many Hungarian references, ALG's book has become popular among their friends. Hungarian CALG 14/22.07 Ottó to ALG1969/1104 Recently Ottó has met a former student of ALG, Berka József. József was glad to hear that ALG became so famous. He still remembers the good time ALG, Ujváry Dodó, and him spent together in Paris. Ottó thanks for the few lines ALG wrote trying to convince his son to study harder. Hungarian CALG 14/22.08 Ottó to ALG1969/1130 He has received the copy of the ambassador's letter. Ottó speculates that soon ALG will receive an honorary degree not only from the Ambrosiana but also from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Ottó is planning a work related visit to Vienna in December and will be put up at the same place where ALG usually stays, "Hotel de France". He sends warm wishes and best of luck to ALG for his birthday. Hungarian CALG 14/22.09 Mary to ALG1969/1201 Mary thanks for the present ALG sent in the summer. The bad news is that Ottó-László had to repeat the end of the year examination this summer. Because he failed the second time, he will have to repeate the freshman year. Mary was surprised to see that ALG didn't help his nephew pass his exam by writing a letter to the school. She intends to visit ALG, together with his son, next year in Moscow. Hungarian CALG 14/22.10 Ottó to ALG1969/1208 He sends best wishes from Vienna where he is currently working. There he met ALG's student again who was thrilled to get a letter from his beloved professor, ALG. Ottó invites ALG for a visit in Budapest and wishes happy Christmas. Hungarian CALG 14/23 [Family Correspondence]1970 CALG 14/23.01 Ottó to ALG1970/0110 Ottó thanks ALG for the two letters he sent from Italy. He is glad to hear that ALG met his partner from work, Mr. Gandolfi, and that they had dinner together at the best restaurant of Milan. Mr. Gandolfi is a highly respected man in his circle of friends, more particularly since he is their biggest buyer. Ottó asks ALG about his travel plans this year and makes the proposition to meet in Belgrade (or at any other place that suits ALG better). He wants to take Mary and his son, Ottó-László, with him this time. His son can't wait to meet ALG. Since ALG is the owner, Ottó also suggests him to try to sell his asset in Pécs. Hungarian CALG 14/23.02 Ottó-László to ALG1970/0113 He thanks ALG for the $20 Christmas present. Now Ottó-László is doing much better in school than he did last year and is looking forward to his mid-year report. He would be happy if ALG would send him the works of the French proper jesuit P. Teilhard de Chardin in Hungarian, annotated by Resek Román. The material doesn't exist in the whole country despite the fact that it's a required text on the exam. He would be happy to see ALG this summer. Hungarian CALG 14/23.03 Ottó to ALG1970/0120 Now Ottó writes from Vienna to thank ALG for the letters, especially the encouraging one his son has received. He would like to make arrangements for them to meet in the summer. Hungarian CALG 14/23.04 Ottó to ALG1970/0228 His job needs Ottó to travel all around Europe, but this lifestyle is becoming too exhausting and he wants to go home as soon as he can. He intends to meet ALG in Milan, Italy, this summer, if possible. Half of the family estate is still ALG's property that the state maintains as foresaken possessions. Ottó asks ALG to request compensation through the Hungarian Embassy in Washington. Hungarian CALG 14/23.05 Ottó to ALG1970/0714 Ottó thanks ALG for remembering his birthday. He wants to buy a car in Vienna and needs ALG's help. Ottó already made the payment in full, but he can't bring the car in Hungary unless it is a gift. Thus he asks ALG to be the donor. Mr. Wolff is in charge of the paperwork. Hungarian CALG 14/23.06 Ottó to ALG1970/0719 Amid an extremely chaotic travelling schedule, when Ottó doesn't know in which European city he will be next day, he is still trying to make plans to see ALG. From Milan ALG could visit him next week in Coper, near Trieste, provided Ottó will still be there. He also sends information about the family estate in Makár, near Pécs. It was worth fighting for the vineyard and getting it back after it had been confiscated by the Rákosi regime. Today it is a valuable property in a thriving part of the town. Hungarian CALG 14/23.07 Ottó to ALG1970/0919 Ottó thanks ALG for the kind love he showed when they met in Switzerland and for the many presents he sent home to Mary and Ottó-László. Ottó is now in Belgrade and suggests ALG to meet his son and Mary in Yugoslavia because this is the most convenient place for them to travel to. Hungarian CALG 14/23.08 Ottó-László to ALG1970/1005 He thanks for the presents. He would appreciate it if ALG would send him, and his mother, an official letter of invitation so they can visit the country where ALG will be this Christmas. Ottó- László has never met ALG before and he can't wait for the occasion to see his uncle. It would be excellent for the three of them to spend Christmas Eve together. They could put his Dad's picture under the Christmas tree. Hungarian CALG 14/23.09 Ottó to ALG1970/1201 Ottó thanks ALG for both letters and he regrets that he doesn't know his plans yet for the rest of this month. He will soon give the pictures to Csizmadia Pista. He is eulogizing ALG everywhere he goes in the country, saying that despite ALG being that famous he has a very kind and humble personality. Hungarian CALG 14/24 [Family Correspondence]1971 CALG 14/24.01 Ottó to ALG1971/0308 Based on what ALG wrote in his recent letters, Ottó suspects that ALG has never received his last letter. He bought a Fiat with the money ALG had given to him in Stuttgart. ALG's new biography proceedings makes Ottó swell with family pride again. Ottó exchanged post with somebody at work and consequently he won't be able to travel so much any more. But Mary and his son intend to meet ALG in Belgrade this summer. Hungarian CALG 14/24.02 Ottó to ALG1971/0415 Ottó sends his heartfelt congratulations to ALG for his new publication "Titres et Travaux" that surely is a milestone in his wonderful career. He also sends information regarding the family estate. Ottó asks ALG about the possibility to meet Mary and little Ottó in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, this summer. He thanks ALG for the effort he made to get an interview for Ottó- László at the Music College. Hungarian CALG 14/24.03 Ottó to ALG1971/0614 The family was worried because they had not heard from ALG in three months. Then suddenly the great news came from Malév, Hungarian Airlines, like a dissolution to their concern, informing them that ALG has booked two tickets for them for June 29th on the plane to Belgrade. Mary and his son are looking forward to the trip. Hungarian CALG 14/24.04 Mary to ALG1971/0713 Mary and his son arrived home safe from Yugoslavia. She is happy that her long-cherished dream finally has come through and that she met ALG again. She will always remember ALG, wearing his black hat, waiving and smiling at them at the Zagreb airport as he told them good-bye. She regrets that Ottó wasn't able to join them. Mary considers those wonderful days they spent together to be a true miracle. Hungarian CALG 14/24.05 Ottó to ALG1971/0719 Ottó thanks ALG for his kindness, attention, and the presents he gave to Mary and Ottó- László in Yugoslavia. They still can't stop talikng about the many experiences they had and how gracious ALG has been to them. Hungarian CALG 14/24.06 Ottó-László to ALG1971/0831 ALG has asked him to report on his grades at school. He failed the end-of-the-year mathematics exam, but after retaking it in the summer, he passed it. Hungarian CALG 14/24.07 Mary to ALG1971/0918 Mary thanks ALG for the pictures taken in Yugoslavia. She has a delightful memory of those days and would be very happy to see ALG again soon and invites him for Christmas. In retrospect, she regrets that she didn't go with ALG to Zagreb. ALG need not be concerned about his parents' the gravestone since it is going to be ready in April, as she promised it. Hungarian CALG 14/24.08 Ottó-László to ALG1971/0922 He thanks ALG for his letter written in Paris. He will never ever forget ALG's golden saying that "whoever is week is dead". Together with his Dad, they have started taking English lessons. Hungarian CALG 14/24.09 ALG to Ottó-László1971/1004 English CALG 14/24.10 Mary to ALG1971/1011 Mary and Ottó visited their hometown, Pécs. She sends information about the city, the family vineyard, and old friends. The inscription on ALG's parents' gravestone will be "I am the vine, you are the wand", per ALG's request, however, it will be ready only next spring and it will cost extra money. She is enclosing the bill. Hungarian CALG 14/24.11 Ottó to ALG1971/1118 Ottó thanks ALG for sending the special letter to him. This letter was written by their Dad to ALG the day he died. He is sad that they are so far apart and don't see each other as often as their parents wished them to. In his recent letter, ALG has asked Ottó not be so harsh with Ottó-László. Ottó is surprised by ALG's attitude, because this is the way both of them were brought up. Above all, he is jelous because he thinks that the kid likes his uncle more than him. Also Ottó makes it clear that they don't want ALG to send more money for the gravestone. Hungarian CALG 14/24.12 Ottó-László to ALG1971/1121 English CALG 14/25 [Family Correspondence]1972 CALG 14/25.01 Ottó to ALG1972/0105 He has been waiting for a long time for ALG's letter that finally arrived in January. Ottó informs ALG about Ottó- László's performance at school. Unfortunately, he is going to fail many of his mid-term exams, but he takes English private lessons, as ALG wanted him to, from a native speaker. He wishes happy new year to his brother. Hungarian CALG 14/25.02 Mary to ALG1972/0213 Mary invites ALG to Hungary this summer. The special occasion: the tombstone of his parents is finally done and is ready for dedication. The inscription on it is exactly how ALG wanted it to be. The whole family would be happy to see him again this summer. Hungarian CALG 14/25.03 Ottó to ALG1972/0217 The family plans the dedication ceremony for April. Ottó wishes for meeting ALG in Austria, where they could spend some time together and have a nice vacation. However, both Ottó-László and Mary are eager to see ALG this summer too, especially because ALG promised to meet them. As they can't leave their dog behind on his own, Ottó is sorry but the family won't be able to travel together. Hungarian CALG 14/25.04 Ottó to ALG1972/0506 He sends best wishes to ALG and encloses three pictures about their parents grave. Ottó would be very happy to see ALG this summer and invites him to visit Hungary. Hungarian CALG 14/25.05 Mary to ALG1972/0518 Mary asks ALG if he would be able to meet up with them - her son and Mary - this year again, remembering the wonderful time they had in Yugoslavia exactly a year ago. ALG's parents' shrine, which was made according to ALG's design, is in perfect trim. Lately she has planted lots of flowers on it and it looks beautiful. Hungarian CALG 14/25.06 Ottó- László to ALG1972/0524 He asks ALG if he would plan ahead their next meeting in either Germany or Italy at the end of July. ALG mentioned in his letter that he won't be busy working at that time. Meanwhile his English is improving. Hungarian CALG 14/25.07 Ottó to ALG1972/0615 Ottó thanks ALG for the invitation and he will meet ALG in Vienna in August. Mary and him are sad because their son, although he passed his junior year exam at the Piarist school, was sent away because of his bad grades. And now is too late to enroll him in a public high school for the coming school year. He regrets that he has not replied to ALG's letters promptly, but Mary has not forwarded them while he has been travelling in Europe. Hungarian CALG 14/25.08 Ottó-László to ALG1972/0623 He thanks ALG for the letter of recommendation. He and his mother will probably get their passports to Germany at the end of July. He sends heartfelt best wishes for ALG's name-day. Hungarian CALG 14/25.09 Ottó to ALG1972/0712 Ottó informs ALG about his plans to meet in Vienna 26th of July. He intends to go alone and hasn't decided yet whether to travel by car or by train. He is looking forward to meet ALG very much. Hungarian CALG 14/25.10 ALG to Ottó1972/0718 ALG sends a brief message telling Ottó that he has made reservations for the whole family for 26th of July in Hotel Intercontinental, Vienna. He will be there to meet up with them and he will keep them company until the 2nd of August. German CALG 14/25.11 Ottó to ALG1972/0820 Ottó thanks ALG for his kind hospitality and care he showed throughout their vacation. It was hard for him to say goodby. On their return from Europe, everybody was surprised to see them back. Ottó is anxious to see his brother again in Vienna in December when he wants to talk things out with him. Hungarian CALG 14/25.12 Mary to ALG1972/0825 Mary thanks ALG for the nice vacation. They have arrived home safe. She informs ALG about the rest of the trip in Germany, at which point ALG had to leave and was not able to travel with them. But they have received his messages, pictures, and the money he sent to them at every hotel they have stayed. Mary is very grateful for that. Hungarian CALG 14/25.13 Ottó- László to ALG1972/0924 He thanks ALG for the National Geographic magazin subscription that he always enjoys reading. He sends information on their deerhound, Csutka, who has won many awards at international competitions. He likes his new high school and is planning to graduate this summer. Hungarian CALG 14/25.14 Mary to ALG1972/0925 Mary is happy to hear that ALG accepted the invitation from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and as a consequence he will be visiting Budapest this Fall. Mary would like to wait for him at the airport. On this occasion she suggests ALG to stay with them for Christmas as well. In this case, Ottó will be able to cancel his trip to Europe in November. Hungarian CALG 14/25.15 Mary to ALG1972/1001 Mary has made arrangements with the Hungarian National Bank to request a condominium in ALG's name. They have to send the trust-deed in three weeks to the bank in order not loose their priviledged spot on the list for this beautiful two room apartment on the Buda side of the city. Mary is happy to help ALG in buying the condo and is already making plans to furnish it. Hungarian CALG 14/25.16 Mary to ALG1972/1127 Mary regrets that their plan to buy the condominium in Buda got nowhere. But ALG is right in saying that it was a hasty move and surely he will have better luck next time. Ottó- László got the army's approval to visit ALG. But he will have to be accompanied by a parent. Mary asks ALG to be so kind and send her an affidavit of support in case she has to go. She sends her best wishes to ALG. Hungarian CALG 14/25.17 Ottó to ALG1972/1130 Ottó wishes long and happy life for ALG for his upcoming birthday. He is thrilled that ALG will visit with them next spring. The other great news that has recently changed his life was that Ottó- László got admitted in the summer program in America and will fly across the ocean next summer. Lately it is this trip Mariska and his son would talk about every day and all day, nothing else. Hungarian CALG 14/26 [Family Correspondence]1973 CALG 14/26.01 Mariska to ALG1973/0116 Mariska thanks ALG for the postcard he sent from Florida and invites him for a visit. Hungarian CALG 14/26.02 Ottó- László to ALG1973/0214 He would have written sooner, but he was very busy handing in the paperwork for his passport. Nowdays is very hard to get a passport. Yet Prof. Klaniczay from the Academy has given valuable support in this regard. Ottó- László has heard it from reliable sources that his passport application will soon be approved out of regard for ALG. He also heard the news that the Hungarian Academy of Sciences is going to invite ALG for a talk. Hungarian CALG 14/26.03 Mary to ALG1973/0306 Mary is concerned because she has not received any letter from ALG for a long time. She asks ALG to write soon. Recently, while she has been turning over the pages of ALG's book "Skara House" she noticed with amazement that the book is dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Bedolfe. But Mary always thought that Barbara Bedolfe, ALG's friend, is not a married woman. Now she is confused and a little jelous too. She has met both Prof. Klaniczay and Prof. Bognar several times and they have both left a good impression on her. Hungarian CALG 14/26.04 Mary to ALG1973/0510 Mary is grateful for ALG for the letter. The family is looking forward to Ottó- László's trip and Mary already started packing for him. It is and expensive visit, the costs of it covered by ALG, but Mary is sure that ALG will take good care of her son while he is there. She enshrines a photo, cut out long time ago from a newspaper, which shows the two world-known professors together, ALG and Albert Einstein. Hungarian CALG 14/26.05 Ottó- László to ALG1973/0517 He apologizes for responding so late to ALG's letter. But he has been very busy studying for his matriculation. Now Ottó- László is very excited to visit ALG. He still needs to get the Canadian visa, which should be easy since he already owns the passport. He thanks ALG for the University's map and the coins that he will use to call ALG upon arrival in Montreal. Hungarian CALG 14/26.06 Ottó to ALG1973/0517 Ottó thanks for ALG's letter. His everyday life has recently been cheered up by Ottó- László's supposedly successful high-school graduation and by the excitement of his upcoming trip. It is going to be a trying journey and Ottó asks ALG, if at all possible, to wait for him at the Zurich airport where he will change flights to Montreal. Hungarian CALG 14/26.07 Ottó to ALG1973/0616 Ottó- László has left for Canada and the United States. He thanks ALG this rare opportunity he provided for Ottó- László to participate in the summer program at the University of Notre Dame. ALG's care and foresight makes it easier for the young Gabriel to acclimate to his new environment. Ottó would like to meet ALG in Europe somewhere in August thus he asks him again to send an affidavit of support for visa application. Hungarian CALG 14/27 [Letters from Otto L. Junior]1973/07-08 CALG 14/27.01 Ottó- László to ALG1973/0721 He informs ALG, who is currently doing research in Germany, about his time at Notre Dame. He is having a wonderful time, taking courses and working hard on homeworks. He has accepted Mrs. Logue's invitation for an Independence Day Party at their home. And when he visited them last time had a chance to ride horses. He is planning to write a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Bedolfe asking them to inquire about Canadian Immigartion Regulations for him. Hungarian CALG 14/27.02 Ottó- László to ALG1973/0730 Ottó- László junior informs ALG about his decision not to return to Hungary. His plan is to fly either to England or to Toronto from Zurich, instead of back to Budapest. He needs ALG's help in obtaining the necessary paperwork for his emmigrant visa application. Since ALG has stood as a guarantor for him -- and for his return -- at the Hungarian Ministry of Interior (and this is the why he was essentially allowed to travel to America) he fears what if ALG will later come up against difficulties with the communist government. But despite this unfortunate outcome he is undeterred in his decision. Hungarian CALG 14/27.03 Ottó- László to ALG1973/0806 Having determined to stay and not to return to Hungary, he makes plans about his future on this side of the iron curtain. Ottó- László doesn't understand why ALG is not supportive of his plans. Because his decision to stay in America most likely will not get ALG in trouble with the Hungarian authorities. Hungarian CALG 14/27.04 Eleanor Logue to ALG1973/0806 English CALG 14/27.05 ALG to Mr. Bedolfe1973/0807 English CALG 14/27.06 ALG to Ottó- László1973/0807 English CALG 14/27.07 Steffi to ALG1973/0814 English CALG 14/27.08 Ottó- László to ALG1973/0820 Ottó- László is back in Hungary. He thanks ALG for the opportunity to take English language courses in the United States. Above all, he is glad that he was able to travel a lot and to have many novel experiences. Hungarian CALG 14/28 [Family Correspondence]1974 CALG 14/28.01 Ottó- László to ALG1974/0129 He is trying to decide on his career, but the options are dismal. One possibility would be to become a professional judge on International Dog Tournaments. Soon he will receive a certificate to do this. The other career path is university. But since young people need to have high connections in order to get accepted at the university, this is not a real option for him. He sends his best regards to ALG. Hungarian CALG 14/28.02 Mary to ALG1974/0211 Mary is surprised that ALG did not accept the Hungarian Academy's invitation. She invites ALG to Budapest saying that many famous Hungarian scholars from abroad, such as Szentgyörgyi Albert, have come home for a visit and gave interviews and talks on TV or radio. Alternatively Mary proposes to meet in June in Yugoslavia again, reassuring ALG that her company would cover all expenses thus ALG should not worry about spending money. Meanwhile she wants to alleviate the quarrels within the Gabriel family. Hungarian CALG 14/28.03 Mary to ALG1974/0407 Mary and her family are anxiously waiting for ALG's response. She wishes happy Easter. Hungarian CALG 14/28.04 Ottó- László to ALG1974/0413 He thanks for the letter and for the references ALG sent concerning the University. He decided to apply to the medical school. But the competition is very fierce. Thus ALG's help will surely help him get in. Ottó- László has great memories about the time he has spent with ALG at Notre Dame and wishes to see ALG again soon. Hungarian CALG 14/28.05 Mary to ALG1974/0422 She is sorry to see Ottó sick and in bed with such severe pain for weeks now. The family thinks that ALG is angry at Ottó since last August. Ottó will never forget what happened last summer between them. Yet he can forgive ALG because he loves him. Mary cancelled her summer vacation in Yugoslavia. Hungarian CALG 14/28.06 Ottó to ALG1974/0423 Ottó would like to end the resentment between ALG and him, although he still feels hurt. His job in the future is not very promising. Lately he can barely move or walk and is in great pain. According to the doctors the inflamation in his vertebra will last for years. He sends best wishes to ALG. Hungarian CALG 14/28.07 ALG to Ottó- László1974/0424 English CALG 14/28.08 Mariska to ALG1974/0515 She thanks ALG for the letter. Ottó has been in bed for six weeks. The doctors say that he might have to undergo surgery in case the appropriate bath will not help his condition. Meanwhile Mariska is busy with housework and Ottó- László is studying for the entrance exam to the Veterinary School. She is not upset at ALG and she intends to meet ALG in Yugoslavia in June if ALG will have time to travel there. Hungarian CALG 14/28.09 ALG to Ottó- László1974/0521 English CALG 14/28.10 Ottó to ALG1974/0521 He regrets that he can't accept ALG's kind invitation to Yugoslavia in June. Ottó's health is rapidly deteriorating to the point that he is crippled, not being able to leave his room. But Mary wishes to go on the trip with her colleagues from work, and so she could meet ALG in the summer. ALG's medical doctor friends from Budapest were not helpful with the admission to the Vet School. Nevertheless Ottó- László is going to tackle the exam and hopefully will be admitted all by his very self. Hungarian CALG 14/28.11 Ottó- László to ALG1974/0602 The odds are against him to enter the university. Thus Ottó- László has asked K.F. Ödön, ALG's friend, to help. But he didn't help him out saying that there are "cutthroats" going on at the universities in order to get. He informs ALG about his Dad's grave illness and asks him if he would like to meet his mother in Yugoslavia this summer. Hungarian CALG 14/28.12 Ottó to ALG1974/0610 Ottó wants his illness to end soon since he can't get out of the house at all. Yet he won't lend himself to a spinal surgery because that is too dangerous. He is glad to hear that ALG is making plans to visit them this year. The best time would be around Christmas, should his plans come through. Meanwhile he pulled some strings and got the news that Ottó- László will enter the Veterinary School, for sure, even if his grades are not that spectacular. Hungarian CALG 14/28.13 Ottó- László to ALG1974/0617 He writes the letter exactly on his 20th birthday. Ottó- László apologizes to ALG for his childish actions and hasty decisions he made last summer regarding fleeing the country. He didn't want to hurt ALG and today he has tremendous admiration for ALG, more than ever. Hungarian CALG 14/28.14 Ottó- László to ALG1974/0620 He informs ALG about his ongoing entrance examination to the university to become a veterinarian. His Dad, Ottó, has a tumor on his vertebra and his hipbones are slowly decaying. He thanks ALG for the birthday note and is looking forward to see him this year. Hungarian CALG 14/28.15 Ottó- László to ALG1974/0730 He is sorry to hear that ALG postponed his visit to Hungary. He sends information about his career plans. Since he failed the exam to the Vet School, he is considering a few other possibilities, such as trying the TV industry. He would be happy to hear ALG's advice, as he already suggested to study something that is international. Hungarian CALG 14/28.16 Ottó- László to ALG1974/0923 It was three months ago when he received a letter from ALG thus Ottó- László is concerned. He will write again soon. Hungarian CALG 14/28.17 Mari to ALG1974/0924 The family is in dismay since ALG has not written any note to them in three months. Hungarian CALG 14/28.18 ALG to Ottó- László1974/1004 English CALG 14/28.19 Ottó- László to ALG1974/1104 He is happy to send ALG a copy of his article published in a prestigious veterinary magazine. He can't wait to see ALG this Christmas. ALso, his Dad's health has improved and he started working again. Hungarian CALG 14/28.20 Ottó to ALG1974/1129 Ottó sends his warm regards from abroad to ALG and wishes him happy birthday. He is happy to meet ALG in January. Hungarian CALG 14/29 [Family Correspondence]1975 CALG 14/29.01 Ottó- László to ALG1975/0113 He is sorry he couldn't join his parents when they met ALG in January. He thanks ALG for the recorded message he sent to him. He wishes he could see ALG soon. Hungarian CALG 14/29.02 Ottó to ALG1975/0121 Ottó is sending a note from Basel to thank ALG for the nice vacation the three of them had in Zagreb in January. Hungarian CALG 14/29.03 Mary to ALG1975/0217 Mary thanks ALG for the Yugoslavian vacation and informs him about the new travel decree. Yugoslavia is now considered a Western country and consequently Hungarians are allowed to travel only every other year to Yugoslavia, like to other Western countries. She will write again soon, after visiting Pécs to arrange the grave, as ALG asked her to do. Hungarian CALG 14/29.03 Ottó- László to ALG1975/0331 Ottó- László will be taking the exam to enter the Agrarian College this fall. Meanwhile he is planning to get his drivers licence. Also sends information about their family life. Hungarian CALG 14/29.04 Mary to ALG1975/0515 Mary is happy to help ALG regarding the vineyard. After 30 years of nonchalance, she urges ALG to take action and sell his part of the estate that is now being rented out. Not long ago the tenant bought his brother's share. The 5/12 part of vineyard is still privately owned by ALG whereas the state handles it as abandoned property. Hungarian CALG 14/29.05 Mary to ALG1975/0624 The family has traveled to Pécs and visited the family estate. Their old home has been renovated and now is being rented out as a vacation house. Above all, the beneficiary tryes to proove that the rightful owner, i.e. ALG, doesn't exist so he can own the whole croft. Therefore Mary suggests ALG to come home and sell his share at Makár. Hungarian CALG 14/29.06 Ottó to ALG1975/0624 ALG's nameday is coming up. From Germany, Ottó sends his best wishes and his congratulations for this spacial day. Hungarian CALG 14/29.07 Ottó- László to ALG1975/0708 He is happy to report that he got in the Agrarian University at Kaposvár, Hungary. This means that after three years of vocational training finally he will get his agrarian/stock-breeder degree. Hungarian CALG 14/29.08 Mary to ALG1975/0920 Mary is sending the paperwork to ALG needed by the bank and suggests him to file a letter of complain regarding the estate. She has heard that ALG payed a visit to Barbara in Toronto again. ALG's already started moveing to Toronto and Mary would like to be there to help him out. Ottó spends a lot of time in Yugoslavia but she expects him back next month. Hungarian CALG 14/29.09 Ottó- László to ALG1975/0930 He is apologizing for not writing sooner but he has been very busy settling in his new place. The courses he is taking are interesting, but the living conditions are bare and provincial -- nothing like the University of Notre Dame. He asks ALG not to forget him and to write soon to his Budapest address (the letters sent to Kaposvár seem to dissapear). Hungarian CALG 14/29.10 Ottó to ALG1975/1202 He sends his note of sympathy from Yugoslavia for ALG's upcoming birthday. Next February he would like to see ALG in London where he will be taking long-term English classes. Hungarian CALG 14/30 [Family Correspondence]1976 CALG 14/30.01 Ottó to ALG1976/0112 On his return from Europe, ALG's letter and the news that he will move to Canada, awaited Ottó. From now on he will send his letters to his new address in Canada. Ottó- Lászlós engagement will be in Christmas. Hungarian CALG 14/30.02 Ottó- László to ALG1976/0130 His first semester in college is over and Ottó- László is planning to graduate in 1978. He proposes to meet ALG this coming July. Hungarian CALG 14/30.03 ALG to Ottó- László1976/0212 English CALG 14/30.04 Ottó to ALG1976/0313 Although he has just arrived home after months of travelling in the Middle East, he has to hit the road again to Yugoslavia. Ottó finds all this travel exhausting, but he has no other choice. He is anxiuos to see ALG again this Christmas. To impress ALG he will exchange his Fiat to a new, bigger car. Hungarian CALG 14/30.05 Mary to ALG1976/0406 She tracked down the address and phone number of the principal for ALG. The principal of the school at Pécs agreed to have a class reunion, at which ALG would be present, this coming Christmas. Mary is waiting for ALG's further instructions regarding the reunion. Hungarian CALG 14/30.06 Ottó- László to ALG1976/0512 He finished his first year in college and now is preparing for the final exams. Above all, he was asked to give talks on various topics at his school that have had a great deal of success. Ottó- László sends his congratulations to ALG for receiving the cross of the legion of honour and asks ALG to meet him this summer in Poland. Hungarian CALG 14/30.07 Ottó to ALG1976/0723 Ottó kindly asks ALG to send a deed, stating that ALG is making a gift of a car to his brother, Ottó. This letter should be sent to Vienna, Austria, to the person who is actually buying the car for Ottó. This is the only way to own a first quality car in Budapest, Hungary. Hungarian CALG 14/30.08 Ottó to ALG1976/0913 He regrets that they can't celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary together, but he will be on the road again Middle East at that time. The article about ALG got into the paper, "Magyarország", and Ottó will send a copy of it to ALG. Hungarian CALG 14/30.09 Ottó to ALG1976/1008 Ottó thanks ALG the letters. The one that was sent to the lawyer would finally resolve the selling of the vineyard. He assures ALG of his help in this regard. He is writing this letter from Koper, Yugoslavia. Unfortunately he can't call his family back home in Budapest -- their phone was out of order. Ottó suspects that his house had been under secret service surveillance. Hungarian CALG 14/31 [Family Correspondence]1977 CALG 14/31.01 Ottó to ALG1977/0214 At first Ottó didn't know where to send this letter and how to reach ALG as soon as possible. Then he decided to send it to ALG's new home: Toronto, Canada, not knowing whether he will receive it. He sends detailed information regarding the sale of the vineyard. The matter is full with unavailing endeavors from the part of the lawyer and he explains why he hired him in the first place making out his case. His family, including Ottó- Lószló's new bride, would like to see ALG again. Hungarian CALG 14/31.02 Mary to ALG1977/0504 The book ALG had asked for was already sold out when Mary went to buy it. But she'll look for it in other secon-hand booksellers. Hungarian CALG 14/32 Gabriel Otto1948-1957 Letters from ALG's brother, Ottó, concerning his emigration to Canada in 1948-1949, telegraph messages, letters from the emigration lawyer, and ALG's affidavit of support dated 1957 to Ottó) CALG 14/32.01 Ottó to ALG1948/1214 Ottó uses a secret language to explain ALG his plans to leave the country. He pretends to write about somebody else, not him, when listing the countries where he could go. He thanks ALG for his help going to Canada, via Prága. The other option would be to just run across the border, to Bécs or another nearby city. But if he leaves, there will be no way back to Hungary soon, unless the authorities catch him back and bring him back, which is the nightmare scenario. Ottó asks ALG to send more information about the Canada plan, adding that this, and the other plans to flee the country, are very risky. He would immediately send an express letter to ALG when he arrives to his destination. When he visited the Norbertinum he took ALG's nice leather suitcase back with him and safeguards it for him. Hungarian CALG 14/32.02 Ottó to ALG1948/1215 Ottó's plan to flee the country to go to Prága has failed. Consequently, he will hand in his application to take legal measures to emigrate to Argentina. He is kindly asking ALG if he would pay for the tickets as soon as possible, because the political situation is Hungary is very unstable. Ottó remarks that ALG might not understand the mentality and the actions of the people who live under such traverse circumstances. Hungarian CALG 14/32.03 Pécsi Ottó alias Ottó to ALG1948/1217 This morning, Ottó took the train to visit his uncle, Gábriel Ferenc, in Austria. He is looking forward to receive ALG's letter and advice. Hungarian CALG 14/32.04 Ottó to ALG1948/1221 He didn't make it all the way to Franci, because he stopped to pay a visit at the Köszegi family. Ottó has made up a name for himself, Pécsi Ottó, to explain to ALG, in coded language, his decision to ask for an emigrant visa to leave Hungary legally. It is too risky to escape Hungary through thr border. But ALG is concerned that the legal application process might take too long, and in addition there is a great chance that Ottó will be denied the visa. Ottó, however, is not a deserter. He wants to come back and visit Hungary any time he wants to. His passport/visa application is in quite good shape, anyway, and he is looking forward to join his brother soon. Hungarian CALG 14/32.05 Ottó to ALG1949/0102 Ottó gives detailed information about the documents he needs to attain for the application, such as the Hungarian translation of the affidavit of support that he has just received. ALG should send the money to Kati, Galgóczy Lászlóné, and not to him. Although he is poor, he is still under constant surveillance, because of ALG. Ottó asks ALG to send an express letter to the lawyer because the lawyer does not trust him. Bureaucracy causes a lot of huffing and puffing and Ottó is very consumed by it. Hungarian CALG 14/32.06 Ottó to ALG1949/0110 Ottó is glad to hear from his lawyer that he will get his passport and border-crossing permit in a month. But for that he needs from ALG either an airplane ticket or some other proof of pre-paid transportation. He requests this as soon as possible because the political situation could change from one day to the next and, subsequently, tomorrow might be too late to act. Hungarian CALG 14/32.07 Csulaky György1949/0121 He informs ALG that he does not accept payment for his legal serivces in the case of Ottó. First, because he is only a clerk, it would be illegal for him to accept any kind of fee in his position. Second, his qualification is finance law not emigration law. Nevertheless, he will be glad to draft an application letter for Ottó that he has to hand in to the authorities in Defence Ministry. Hungarian CALG 14/32.08 Ottó to ALG1949/0225 Ottó is sorry for not being able to join ALG in America to live with him. Much to his regret, he decided to stay in Hungary for good. The authorities had made emigration impossible by asking for certificates that he is not able to provide. Reunion with his brother was Ottó's reason for leaving the country. After their parents' death, he doesn't have close relatives in Hungary any more. But as soon as the officials noticed ALG's name on his application, they started to make the whole process very difficult. There are some self-affairs regarding him and also ALG that he can't list in this letter since it will surely be opened and read by somebody. Also, it is an endeavour for him to sell all his assets in order to cover the ever increasing expenses, only to find out later that his application will be denied. Recently he came across a letter that ALG had written to his father when he was ill in the army hospital. Reading it, Ottó was reassured that ALG's limitless and unconditional love for his father is a merit that needs no further comment. Hungarian CALG 14/32.09 Ottó to ALG1957/0327 His is looking forward to obtain the French visa. He was told by officials that if he has an affidavit of support from his bother, he would then get the passport as soon as in two weeks. He has some plans to visit his brother in Europe in June or in July. Hungarian CALG 14/32.10 ALG's Affidavit of Support sent to the Defence Ministry in which he states that he will incur all Ottó's expenses related to obtaining a tourist visa to Canada.

In the last couple of months she kept coming back to ALG's book, regularly turning over the pages. The work is doing a service not only to the manhandled Hungarian pride but also to European publicity. She kindly asks ALG to go over the review and send his corrections back to her so they can proceed with publishing. She thanks ALG for his effort to send his books and monographs to various Hungarian libraries. Above all the University of Paris Hungarian collection is exclusively due to ALG's hard work and great effort. Surely ALG loves his homeland very much. After his conference in Prague, Edit wonders whether ALG will be travelling across Europe or not. Hungarian CALG 14/40.02 ALG to Otto Fejös1987/1007 ALG is very sad to note that the Hungarian language newspaper, Életünk, appearing in München, Germany, has not at all mentioned his recently published book. The work has immense pertinence to Hungarian cultural life. Although he has informed the paper several times of the book, which was published a year ago, they have not even mentioned it in their column "One Sentence". The book deals with many aspects of Hungarian culture, such as prominent Hungarians at the University of Paris or Transylvania between 1495-1525. ALG suspects that it is something personal going on as articles of this sort regularly appear in their paper. Thus ALG has not paid a visit to the paper's editor when visiting the city three times last year. Hungarian CALG 14/40.03 Németh S. Katalin to ALG1987/0721 She is writing on behalf of Prof. Klaniczay asking ALG to send his Vienna talk to the International Hungarian Classical Scholar Association as soon as possible.

He is currently publishing the 800 page long "Dubia et Spuria", the last volume in the Ockham series. Hungarian CALG 14/40.06 ALG to Bishop Joseph Cserháti1986/1225 ALG sends the Diocesan Bishop of Pécs, Dr. Cserháti, a copy of his new book about Hungarian students and professors at the University of Paris. ALG thinks that his excellency would be interested in reading it because of its many references not only to Hungary but also more specifically to Pécs and its surrounding diocese. ALG hopes to talk to the Bishop in private one day, flying incognito home at a mutually convenient time. Hungarian CALG 14/40.07 Francis J. Denes. i.e. Feri to ALG1986/1205 Feri asks ALG to order two copies of his recently published book.

Its Hungarian Students and Masters1984-1994 CALG 14/41.01 ALG to Prof. Klaniczay Tibor1986/0407 ALG sends a short article, in English but relevant to Hungary, to Prof. Klaniczay and asks him to pass it on to the editorial staff of the Academy. The article is about Mattheus de Loreyo's years in Paris and his ties to the Hungarian humanists. ALG's book about the University of Paris is coming out in October on the occasion of the Frankfurt am Main Bookfair. ALG has great news about Gábor, Tibor's son: He has made a hit in America since he is a great lecturer and a learned scholar. ALG informs Prof. Klaniczay about his plans to lecture at several European conferences and congratulates Tibor on his academic achievements. Hungarian CALG 14/41.02 Klára to ALG1985/0711 She thanks ALG for the letter. At the request of ALG she contacted all the scholars ALG mentioned in his letter except Ms. Roth. ALG's chances for publishing his manuscript in Hungary are very slim, instead he should try Belgium. Klára has been trying to meet Prof. Klaniczay in person many times to no avail, thus she sent ALG's material to him by mail. Hungarian CALG 14/41.03 Fodor Adrienne to the Central Library in Budapest1985/0405 She asks the National Széchényi Library for a negative microfilm copy of a book published in 1510.

Hungarian CALG 14/41.04 ALG to Roth Edith1984/0507 Being schoolmates 50 years ago, ALG sends this letter to Edith concerning his new book on Hungarian students and professors at the University of Paris between 1495- 1525. He would like to publish it in Budapest, in English, and asks for her advice. ALG thinks that the theme of the book is just too narrow for an American academic audience, thus his interest in the Hungarian Academy. ALG sends information about the details of publishing. Hungarian CALG 14/41.05 Roth Edith to ALG1984/0801 She is glad to hear ALG's kind offer regarding publishing the manuscript and she is positive that they will come to an understanding. She has already talked to her colleagues at the Publishing House of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and now asks for the full text and the enclosures as soon as possible. After she receives them she can send a quote and also an estimate of the number of copies that might be sold.

Gabriel: The Paris Studium; Robert of Sorbonne and his Legacy", in "Literary Review", 1993, Budapest, Hungary, written by Kulcsár Péter. The collection of articles between 1953-1988, published in two volumes, comprises almost a monograph about students' life in Paris in late Middle Ages and the beggining of humanism. The work does not deal with the shallow Hungarian research-phenomenon, like listing names, instead it reaches down to the ideological trends driving European migration of that time. Only one fellow Hungarian is studied who, in fact, advocates a universal science. In the Acknowledgements part ALG thanks all his masters who helped him become a scholar. But even people who didn't know they were helping him are mentioned here, like the receptionist at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. Thus ALG teaches us not only how to do scientific research, but also that it is worth doing it the way he did it. Hungarian CALG 14/55.02 "The Paris Studium; Robert of Sorbonne and his Legacy. Selected Studies", in "Hungarian Science", 1993, Budapest, Hungary, by Köpeczi Béla. Relying on several examples from ALG's study, the author shows that ALG's research on the history of universities is in close correlation with the history of ideas and trends of the Middle Ages and that of Renaissance. ALG, using his wit and knowledge on the history of the time, sometimes fills in the missing concepts motivating people's interactions at the university. ALG teaches us that we should value learning. Being erudite is the fruit that crowns a long and tedious research and a journey that leads to a profound knowledge in a particular subject.

Hungarian CALG 16/22.02 Eszterhás István to ALG1987/0115 He encloses with this letter the book review they talked about and kindly asks ALG to go through it but leave the text unchanged if at all possible. István is well known in the American Hungarian press so he would be glad to distribute the review to Hungarian papers. As there is an ad attached to the review, he advises ALG to pay a small amount of advertising fee to support the papers. He congratulates ALG for his new book. Hungarian CALG 16/22.03 1987/0115 ~ "Hungary's place in the Western European civilization", a book review by István Eszterhás on ALG's new book. He congratulates ALG for writing this book. It is essential to the Hungarian community, no matter where they live, because it proves that even 500 years ago Hungarians, in contrast to other neighboring nations, were already an integral part of the Christian West by participating in, and sometimes leading, Paris' intellectual and cultural life.

Hungarian CALG 17/07 Holy Crown of Hungary1976-1978 CALG 17/07.01 The text of ALG's talk about the Holy Crown of Hungary in Toronto. ALG presents the background and the ideological development of the Hungarian Holy Crown both in arts and in politics, including its constitutionality, reaching way back to the earliest times until the end of World War II. "Membra Coronae" stands for the idea that Hungarians around the world, regardless where they live, by tradition are members of this Holy Crown. Thus the universality of the Hungarian nation. Hungarian1978/0227 CALG 17/07.02 Book Excerpt Two pages from the book Rights and Practices of Electing the King in Medieval Hungary written by Emma Bartoniek. The excerpt concerns the meaning of Corpus Mysticum Christi, the relationship between church and state, between King and the Holy Crown of St. Stephen, and claims that all worldly power comes from God. It portrays the Hungarian nation of medieval times as a Catholic nation loyal to their Holy Crown, its head being the King and its members being the nobles.
