An die lobliche Redaction des Argonaut:
Esteemed Editorial Department—In the Pester Lloyd, a paper appearing in Budapest, was reproduced under the title “Ten Thousand Years in Ice,” a highly interesting story, which was published in your very valued paper in the number of the 14th of January.
The author of the English original published in the Argonaut is Sir Robert Duncan Milne.
The above-mentioned story stirred up a great and general interest here, so that very many readers turned to the editorial department of the Pester Lloyd with the question, how much of the story was true? Said editorial department not being able to answer the question, referred the inquiries to the esteemed editorial department of the Argonaut.
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.
