Tue Hon. SECRETARY, 
Astatic Society oF BENGAL, 
CALCUTTA. 
Dear SIR, 
The warm appreciation which your Society has 
shown towards the memory of our great countryman Alexander 
Cséma de Korés has earned the gratitude of the whole Hunga- 
rian nation, and in particular of the Magyar Tudomanyos 
Akadémia, which desires to express its gratitude by the presen- 
tation of a lasting token. To this end, on May 10th, 1910, 
we offered you a bronze bust of Alexander Cséma which in 
your letter of July 7th, 1910, you were kind enough to accept. 
For reasons beyond our control the fulfilment of our promise 
has been delayed. You will kindly accept our apologies for the 
delay ; and we trust that the bust, which is ready at last and 
is being despatched to-day to your address, may serve as @ 
token of goodwill and a perpetual reminder of the esteem and 
gratitude which our Academy will always feel towards your 
Society. 
With renewed expressions of our heartfelt gratitude, 
believe me to be, 
Dear Sir, 
Yours faithfully, 
_ (Sd.) A. Berzeviczy, 
President of the Magyar Todomdnyos Akadéma.
