Full description

At the time of writing both had left military careers and were living as civilians, during the War of Independence both rose to the rank of colonel, with Mednyánszky later going into exile in London, while Lázár was executed at Arad. Their friendship is noted in the memoirs of Etele Matolai. Mednyánszky writes with empathy about Lázár’s difficulties, apparently linked to conflict with his mother-in-law (he had married Baroness Mária Reviczky the previous August). At Lázár’s request he sets out his views on the Hungarian Commercial Society and the Védegylet, and comments scathingly on the Nemzeti Újság: “Since your friend Illutz took over as sub-editor with Mr Liptay, the paper has become still more papist in tone, still more aristocratically rigid... You may imagine that I detest the Jesuit even in his cowl – but if he comes in a frock-coat and with side-whiskers, then he is doubly detestable.” János Illucz Oláh was indeed editor of the conservative Catholic paper from 1845, in opposition to Kossuth. On the Védegylet Mednyánszky criticises the backward domestic conditions and the enemies of progress. The letter ends with news (e.g. the formation of a casino at nearby Gáta) and an offer to redeem any pledges from the pawnshop on Lázár’s behalf, if he would send the ticket. At the time, Mednyánszky was working as passport inspector for the Court Chamber.
