that the principles and feelings OF the lovers Of liberty
and their country are epsryohsre The same

feel the value Of those generous principles you express
and second because IL 10 your State where my poor
countrymen have found asylum and home. Amongst
themis my od-indeed, may say my oldest and best
friend Ladislaus Ujhazi nearly twenty years

and dangers OF circumstances, always true 10 those
principles which | profess now TO advocate and the
OF political, civil, and religious freedom for the
plesad vocang them under circumstances such only
of duty could have prompted because their ad-
vocacy brought with it suiengs and trials OF serious
character.
And besides this alliance in our public life, have
also found ujhazi in private relations always most
warm and aBectonaie friend Therefore, OF course, you
must be aware how highly must feel indebted 10 the
State which you represent for having not only afforded
asylum TO him and TO his companions, but for having

the Interpreters
So these two links attach me with particular gratitude
TO your State and 10 you, gentlemen. Let entea you,
