letters Sándor Petőfi (1823-1849) Dear Hungarian Friends; I am enclosing a check for my membership in the HETF and a small donation. I do enjoy reading the Newsletter, as I did the Eighth Hungarian Tribe magazine. I am from a true Magyar family, married to an Irishman. We would like to know: how and from where the word “Hungarian” originated? Also, who and when we were named as “Hungarian Eighth Tribe or the Eighth Hungarian Tribe”? Best wishes, Ethel R. Duggan Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Gentlemen; Enclosed is remittance in the amount of ten dollars for membership in the HETF for 1987. May God richly bless you all for trying to preserve our beautiful Hungarian Heritage, of which I am so proud. Sincerely, Helen Varadi Keyser Bethlehem, Pennsylvania Rise, Magyars! - Talpra Magyar Rise, Magyars! Hear your country's call! Seize the hour! Rise or ever fall! Shall we be slaves or rather freemen? That is the question! Come, agree then! Now by the Magyars' God above We do swear. Swear that the name of slave no more Will we bear! This very hour finds us slaves Curst of our sires in ancient graves: They lived and died in freedom's worth And cannot rest in sevile earth! Now by the Magyars' God above We do swear. Swear that the name of slave no more Will we bear! Dear Mr. Chomos; Enclosed please find a check in the amount of $25.00; ten dollars for membership and fifteen dollars for donation.

Thanks, Joe Bero (Biro József) 2743 Frenchtown Road Newark, Delaware 19702 Boldog húsvéti ünnepeket a happy and blessed Easter to all Low vagrant he that feels no tie. Who now, if need be. dares not die! Whose shabby life holds dearer claim Than his own homeland's fairest fame! Now by the Magyars' God above We do swear. Swear that the name of slave no more Will we bear! Brighter the sword than iron bands; Better it graces manly hands-And yet vile chains our arms enfold! Be ours once more, 0 sword of old! Now by the Magyars' God above We do swear, Swear that the name of slave no more Will we bear! The Magyar name will shine once more And vie with its great fame of yore! The smirch that with the centuries came— We will wash off that tale of shame! Now by the Magyars' God above We do swear, Swear that the name of slave no more Will we bear! Where earthen mounds our graves reveal Our grandchildren will come and kneel To breathe sweet benedictive prayer And sanctify our memory there. Now by the Magyars' God above We do swear, Swear that the name of slave no more Will we bear! Translated by: Francis H. Szécskay, 1966 Page 3
