To the Editor of the Argonaut, San Francisko: Before a short time I red an article from Dr. Milne translating in the _Pester Lloyd_ newspaper which was very interesting. The editor of this newspaper told me that this essay was formerly edited by you, an I am so free to ask you: Is it very what Dr. Millene wrote from the “Men which is frozen 10,000 years ago in the ice,” and beg to accept my salutations. I am thankful. Yours very truly, J. Kleinsson. Arad (Hungary), Minorite palace, II etage, door 17. The next letter contained an inclosure, and was couched as follows: [_Original._] Reviewer, office of the “Argonaut,” San Francisco--_Dear Sir_: I take the liberty to beg you, will you be so kind to deliver the enclosed letter to the autor of the article: “Ten thousand years in the ice” (published in your newpaper of the 14 january) Sir Robert Dunkan Milne. I thank you, sir, for your kindness and I shall be happy to render you a reciprocal service. Yours, Sigmonde Barany. Zombor (Hungary) the 23 february. [_Inclosure._] Zombor (Hungary), 23 february. Sir Robert Dunkan Milne, Esqr., San Francisco--_Dear Sir_: I read your article: “Ten thousand years in the ice” in the _Argonaut_ of the 14 january, and while it has made the greatest sensation in our country I take the liberty to beg you, will you be so kind, to answer me, what is the truth of this matter? I shall be happy, sir, when you will honor me with an answer, and thanking for your kindness, I’m your very obliged Sigmonde Barany. The next letter showed that his Austro-Hungarian majesty’s officers have literary taste. It read thus: [_Original._] Kronstadt (Transylvania, Austria), 20th February. To the Argonaut, belletrist. newspaper, San Francisco, California: I should feel very much obliged to you, if you were kind enough to give me some accounts about the _truth and fact_ of the most interesting tale, which contained the last number of your excellent paper (dated from the 14th of January)--“_ten thousand years in ice_,” by Sir Robert Dunkan Milne. Looking forward to your kind answer, I am yours thankfully, A. Kyd, lieutenant in the 2d regmt of the Hussars. The next letter is signed by one of a family whose name is famous in Austria: [_Original._] To the Editor of the “Argonaute,” periodical, San Francisco, California, U. S. (Esrakamerika)--_Sir_: I had the pleasure to read the article: “Ten thousand years in the ice,” by Sir Robert Duncan Milne (which appeared in the _Argonaut_ of January 14th), in the _Pester Lloyd_, and in answer to a question regarding this article, the editor of the _Pester Lloyd_ advised me to write to you, sir, as you would be surely able to answer the following question: Is the article: “Ten thousand years in the ice,” based on mere fiction, or is he partially true? I am rather inclined to think that there is some truth in the article, because Sir Robert Duncan Milne in speaking of himself and his friend calls him by his real name.
