General

Letter. Hugó thanks ALG for remembering his name-day and congratulating him on this occasion. In the midst of several movings, Hugó has lost the directory listing the assumed monastic names. These days most people, but not ALG, forget to celebrate religiuos name-days. Hugó congratulates ALG for his anniversary of professed Premontré Canon of Jászó that is coming up this year. He thinks that ALG intends to have a secluded, quiet celebration. Therefore, Hugó would like to send a telegraphic Papal blessing which is still is use these days. He asks ALG to name a "manu-ductor" for this purpose. Hugó spent his summer vacation at home in Transylvania, Romania. He learned from the papers of the conference and of the propaganda by the Romania communist regime. This propaganda uses distorted scientific results to proclaim the constant presence of the Romanian people in Transylvania -- the Daco-Roman Theory of Continuity. Hugó was also glad to hear that ALG presided this famous conference. ALG was perhaps the only participant, out of Western historians, who did not take the hook. Hungarian
