on the county’s impromptu assembly and the last siege of the Gyula fortress can also be studied today, allowing detailed insight into the role of the Károlyi hussars. Csongrád County’s magistrate Miklós Sámbokréty staying in the town of Szentes, in the meanwhile, wrote in hurry a letter to Captain Farkas Macskásy, encouraging him to attack from two sides the “thieves” plundering the Armenian merchants. Sámbokréty’s letter also remained in a contemporary copy lacking address. Csongrád County’s sub-prefect Zsigmond Andrássy wrote more letters to Sándor Károlyi on the revolt and the investigation against the persons falling under the suspicion of rebelling. We publish his letters revealing in the county stationing Károlyi hussars’ role as well as the report of the Bihar County’s magistrate Ferenc Andrássy’s to Colonel Ferenc Károlyi which disclose the role of sentry-master Adám Rác. Commander-in-chief Baron István Orczy and Debrecen regional commissarius Pál Bogáthy is only skimming the topic of the Spissits-troops but the materials included in their letters are also worth being published. The scattered pieces of information reveal that the insurgents made more letters and proclamations, e.g. wrote to the magistrates of Szeghalom and cautioned Csongrád County’s sub-prefect Zsigmond Andrássy not to disturb the poor people. No more than three are known out of the letters made by the rebels: Captain Péró’s letter written by the hand of Pál Matula to the conspiring men of Szentandrás; the insurgents’ open letter to the magistrates of Szeghalom; and the kuruc captain István Sebestyén’s patent to the Békés County’s sub-perfect Mátyás Klósz who shut himself up in the fortress of Gyula. Captain Szegedinac Péró right before the outbreak of the revolt promised in a letter to those of Szentandrás to collaborate with them in all aspects. This and the patent to the Szeghalom magistrates were studied by Sándor Márki, however he could but publish only its German translation and a summary of the original Hungarian letter which was dictated by memory by György Szabó from Sarkad. Therefore most exciting is the folio-volume document containing the contemporary copy of Péró’s letter on one side and Sebestyén’s letter on the other. The two copies were sent by First Lieutenant Sándor Spissits from Arad to Sándor Károlyi. A Szentandrás juror, who was at the same time a leader of the rebels, István Szilassy entrusted Captain Péró’s Hungarian and Serbian language 268
