whose names you will find in the enclosed list,
have the honor of presenting to you both the
most sincere and respectful congratulation upon
your marriage union.
| May it please Providence to pour upon you
happiness and success in the new path Of your
| earthly life. This we assure you, is the senti-
ment Of all true Hungarians who know you,
either personally or by your respective services
rendered to the cause of your native land and
Hungary.
We and our fellow-exiles whose names are
in the list, are those Hungarians who last ar
rived to seek On asylum and home on the hos
pitable shores Of this far-of western land.
During tho preceding two years Of our exile we
sought and obtained shelter and protection in
Turkey. Shumla was the place of our sojourn
during that time. Justice requires of us to say,
that the Mo5lem inhabitants Of that eastern city
received and treated US with kindness and social
hospitality, which greatly allayed our other
| sufferingB whilst We were among them, which
only the political eSiles can feel and appreciate.
We proposed to establish Hungarian colony
! near Smyrna, in Asia Minor Our leader and
patriot, Kossuth, approved Of this plan, and, as
it could not have been done without special
permission of the Sublime Porte, one of us,
Captain Brick, was delegated to Constantinople
for the purpose of supporting memorial which
was presented to the Sublime Porte. Kossuth
gave the delegate certificate or letter of gen
eral introduction recommending him to all
friends Of humanity whose protection and sup
port he would require. The original of this
certificate or letter of introduction, written in
tho Magyar and French languages, is herewith
| enclosed. Delivering this letter to Captain
Brick, the Hungarian leader Kossuth advised
4 him. and through him his band of exiles, to pro-
ceed to this country, should the proposition of
forming colony near Smyrna be rejected by
| the Porte; and he further advised Captain
Brick TO seek aid and protection in this country
through your medium. He expected that the
unfortunate misunderstanding which was TO
mented by some unseen agency between the
| true Magyars and some foreigners who served
| in the Hungarian army, and came here with
the former as Hungarian exiles, could but cool
the friendly and hospitable disposition and
sympathy of the people Of this great republic
And he said that under the circumstances of
the present position of the Hungarian exiles in
this country, Mile Jagiello and Major Tochman
| may be of some service in promoting our OBJ
| jects.& The plan of forming o colony near
Smyrna having actually been rejected because
of the political objections of the Austrian and
| Russian ministers, accredited to the Sublime
Porte, we have come to this country. Our un-
| cbangeable design and determination is to join
| our patriot and countryman Gov. Ujhazi, and
settle in New Buda, colony which he formed
in Decatur county, Iowa, where our leader
Kossuth will rs he said join us, if he be allowed
! to come here.
| Just when we landed in New York we learned
of your marriage union. Hearing that you

addressing ourselves to you. We do it now,
! contormably TO the advice of leader Kessuth.
| We bring no letters from him to you, nor to
any other friend of Hungary, for none Of us
| could see him after the 23d of October, 1850,
| which is the date of the heretofore alluded TO
and herewith annexed letter of general intro
duction given to Captain Brick. We respect
| fully beg you to advise with the friends of hu
manity and the Hungarian exiles about raising
a fund for the purpose of transporting our band
of exiles from New York to New Buda, which
is the name of the colony formed by Governor
| Ujhazi in Decatur county, Iowa If the un-
| fortunate misunderstanding between the Hun
garian exiles, who first came to this country,
has in any way prejudiced the public OF this
| great country against u.s. we appeal to you,
Madame you are not a Hungarian lady by
birth, but probably you knew well the national
character of the Hungarian people before you
| left Poland and came to Hungary to aid her
cause. Say, then, Madame, whether you have
| any reason to complain against the true Hun
garians? They respected you whom you were
amongst them, at Comorn and elsewhere; some
of us have seen you there; and VIC respect you
now, with grateful remembrance of your ser
vices to the Hungarian cause.
| We remain with great respect, Sir and Ma
dame, your most obediont fellow.e1ilcs and
friends,
| JOSEF BRICK,
Notsire du Comte Torontal, chef dcs cmigresa
