I permit myself, therefore, to make to your esteemed editorial department the humble request, and indeed in my own, as well as in the name of several friends, to be so kind as to state what was true in the above-mentioned story? At the same time I request that you may make known to me the subscription price of your valued paper. Since I can not furnish myself with postage stamps of the United States in Budapest, I request that you send me your kind answer without prepaying same. Recommending my request to your favor, I sign Most respectfully, Dr. Samuel Rusznyak. After a lapse of a few days we received another batch of letters, two of which explained the epistolary avalanche. One of them was from the editor of the _Pester Lloyd_, stating that he had printed a translation of the story in his journal and had been overwhelmed with inquiries as to whether it was fact or fiction. Another letter was from Mme. Fanny Steinitz, a literary lady living in Buda-Pesth, who confessed that she was the cause of the outburst, as she had translated the story. In order to heighten the interest she had elevated the writer, Mr. Milne, to the order of knighthood by giving him an accolade with her pen. How naïve and ingenuous must be the Hungarian nature! Fancy a number of serious American business men writing to an American journal concerning an exciting story like that of Mr. Milne.
