Washington, D.C. 20036 Dear Mrs. Bona: Your letter regarding OOB WOHLD vas passed, along to as. I’m sorry you were disappointed, with our text presentation of Hungary, and you were quite right in returning a volume that you did not like. I must explain, however, that space for the biographies of the world’s countries was so limited that we had to focus on cultural and geographical aspects that were special to individual countries. We simply could not keep repeating, in biography after biography, the things that vers common to the majority of nations of a continent. The- fact that European countries are industrial, for example, was stated once in the divider copy for Europe. And the- map of Hungary has symbols showing economic activities. We decided It would be more Interesting for the young reader to mention the thing» that were different■ and the csikós and the gypsies are different. They may be cosnonpiace for Hungarians, but this book was not published for a European, audience. The majority of the readers are Americans. The statement that gypsy violinists once led the country's armies Into battle came from Professor József Tekerd!, an eminent linguist and gypsy scholar.
