Mark Imre Major : American Hungarian Relations 1918-1944

March 15, 1939

My dear Mr. Vasvary:

I am glad to learn that The Hungarian Reformed Federation of America is planning to hold commemorative services on June fourth next in connection with the seventy-fifth aniversary of the battle of Piedmont, Virginia where Major General Julius H. Stahel exemplified such bravery that he later received the Congressional Medal of Honor. Men of Hungarian blood - many of them exiles from their fatherland - rendered valiant service to the cause of the Union. Their deeds of self-sacrifice and bravery deserve to be held in everlasting remembrance.

Very sincerely yours,

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Reverend Edmund Vasvary,
The Hungarian Reformed Federation of America,
