HUNGARIAN HERITAGE REVIEW

Dear Paul:

Have received the December issue of the Hungarian Heritage Review . . . the “reborn Eighth Hungarian Tribe".

I must congratulate you and your associates on a job well done. I hope this is just a start of a bright future.

You have my most enthusiastic endorsement and best wishes for you and your people to overcome the initial difficulties that I am sure you will face. Anything that is worthwhile is never easy.

I am sure that the readers of the former Eighth Hungarian Tribe will value the offspring and will show support.

Elias C. Chomos Greensburg, Penna.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Coming from the Chairman of the Board and President of the Bethlen Press, Inc., the former owners and publishers of the Eighth Hungarian Tribe magazine that was bought out by us, Mr. Chomos’s kind letter means a great deal to us. In fact, such “Letters-to-the-Editor” as these, including merited brickbats of course, makes us feel that we are not alone in the wilderness and that, what we are trying to achieve, is noted and appreciated. Needless to add, this, in turn, gives us even a stronger incentive to carry on and to succeed.)

Dear Sir:

Congratulations! ! ! !

I love the new magazine. It’s great! ! Keep it up. But give us more history of our beautiful country- Hungary.

Mrs. Julia B. Rots

Pittsburgh, Penna.

Dear Paul:

I just read the Prevue Edition of the Hungarian Heritage Review, and was very impressed.

Congratulations.

Keep up the good work.

Dear Mr. Pulitzer:

It is with sadness that I note that Mr. Sándor Chomos gave up the Eighth Hungarian Tribe magazine. It was a pleasure for me to try to get a few subscribers for the magazine in the Chicago and nearby Indiana community.

I was first acquainted with the Eighth Hungarian Tribe magazine through the late Rev. Dr. Ludwig, when I first saw the magazine at one of our Hungarian Magyar Club affairs at the Lake Shore Club here in Chicago, which we had both attended. He had a copy of the EHT, which he let me have. Then, was when 1 first realized the need for this kind of magazine and its potential.

Now, I will try to get you some more new subscribers. Your magazine needs more readers and I want to help in any way that I can.

Louis Ambrose Chicago, 111.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is precisely the kind of help we need and wrote about in our editorial section.)

Dear Mr. Pulitzer:

My reaction to the passing of the Eighth Tribe is a mixed one: I always regret the disappearance of a Hungarian-American publication from the scene. Having worked with similar

endeavors myself, and having spent some time in studying the history of Hungarian-language publishing in this country, I realize the unselfish effort and dedication such undertakings demand of their participants. For this reason, as well as due to my general opposition to divisiveness, I observed the progress of the Eighth Tribe with understanding and patience.

On the other hand, the Eighth Tribe did not really disappear. It was merged into an enlarged, improved, and better-funded form. During our recent travels, my wife and I have been told by several members of the Hungarian community that they look forward to this promising venture with great hopes.

My faith in this, the latest undertaking of the Rákóczi Foundation, whose leadership impressed me with their openness and fruitful activities during the past few years, has been greatly strengthened.

With you as Editor, the publication will be in good hands. My wife and I are looking forward to being invited to contribute towards the work of the Hungarian Heritage Review.

We both congratulate you on your being able to continue working in a meaningful capacity on such a significant endeavor and wish you continuing success with it.

Dr. András Boros-Kazai Fayetteville, N.C.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: We have extended a cordial invitation to Dr. Boros- Kazai and his wife to contribute towards the work of the Hungarian Heritage Review.)

We welcome Letters-to-the-Editor and give each a good reading. So, it you have something to say to us, please write to: HUNGARIAN HERITAGE REVIEW P.O. Box 2203 — Union, New Jersey 07083
