383. item
Sebő Vukovics (1811–1872), former minister of justice in the Szemere government. Autograph letter to Sándor Mednyánszky, addressed as „Kedves Barátom” (My dear friend).
He is glad that Mednyánszky is pleased with “the place chosen for the excursion”, and promises to visit Mrs Birkbeck (Anne Margaret Gardner, Mednyánszky’s mother-in-law). He notes that at a reception – to which both Mednyánszky and György Kmety had been invited – he and Jácint Rónay represented the Hungarian emigration. He had received a letter from prison by Lajos Asbóth (the honvéd colonel arrested in 1863, later revealed as a police informer). He also mentions Miklós Szerelmey and a certain Mr Stummer, almost certainly Arnold Ipolyi, who had been close to Mednyánszky’s family.
4 written page(s). Dated: London, 23 June (1864).
starting price: 200 000
