General

Letter. Due to the request of the Jesuits, ALG has visited Budapest for three days to dedicate the book "Essays in Church History". In the meanwhile he attended the 50th Reunion of his class that graduated in 1940. ALG complains to Hugo about the Canonical orders of Gödöllő: back then he suffered not only emotional but also physical pain in that building thus he decided not to visit them. Even today, he recites several reasons why he thinks he is left out in the cold: Fényi told him not to interfere in the rendition of the Gödöllő buildings from the state, despite the fact that ALG knows the current Prime Minister, József Antal, very well. Plus the order consistently ignores ALG's functions on memorandums, and they also claim that ALG has not helped them when in fact in 1990 the diocese received $25,000 from Mackin. In all, he has had bad memories at Gödöllő (people have always been nice to him in the USA but not at Gödöllő). However ALG identifies himself with Jászó, the place where he had received the tonsure from Takács Menyhért. ALG thinks that "Communitas Jasoviensis in Externis" would be a reasonable solution to the problem, but he asks Hugo's advice first. ALG has already made arrangements to lay him to rest in Philadelphia, the place where Raszlaviczy is burried. Hungarian
