Sender: Lázár, Doctor Béla (1869 - 1950)
Recipient: László, Philip Alexius de (1869 - 1937)
Letter from Béla Lázár, possibly dating to 1903 (see accompanying "Editorial Note"), in which he mentions the closure of an exhibition (seemingly one to which de László had sent works). He writes of the reproduction of Rampolla's portrait [4511] in an Italian publication. The letter concludes with Lázár referring to his future appointment as "Commissioner of the Hungarian Exhibition" (DLA009-0028 was previously archived with this item)

Sender: Radisics, Jenő (1856 - 1917)
Recipient: László, Philip Alexius de (1869 - 1937)
Letter from Jenő Radisics to de László, which is a response to three queries de László addressed to the sender: why was Alice Barbi’s portrait [2340] not exhibited in Venice on the opening day of the exhibition; why does it not appear in the catalogue, and why is it not displayed in the Hungarian room? Radisics explains that the first edition of the catalogue was printed in limited edition and is full of errors; the second edition will include the portrait. He informs de László that the Italians were very keen on having the Hungarians at the exhibition and were offered a free choice of exhibition rooms, doing a service to Hungary by giving it a place among the leading Western nations. Whilst the individual paintings cannot compete with French, German, English etc. paintings, the room must be considered as a whole. He is confident that this plan will assure that the Hungarians receive an award, which will not only benefit those artists who are exhibiting but others as well. Radisics explains that Bertalan Karlovszky took a long time arranging the hang, and he believes the final result makes an overall harmonious impression. It is evident that the success required some sacrifices: not being able to display the portrait of Barbi was one of them. Its frame did not harmonise with the rest, but it would not have been worth modifying either. Radisics regrets that this painting is not displayed together with the others, but he respected Karlovszky’s decisions. Since he still wanted the painting exhibited, with the agreement of the sitter he secured a place for it in the first international room (DLA010-0017 and DLA010-0018 were previously partial items that have now been merged into DLA010-0017.

Recipient: László, Philip Alexius de (1869 - 1937)
Letter from Lady Stanley to de László in which she asks how the artist is "in this time of stress" (the letter is undated, but was evidently written during WW1).

Multiple items. Undated letter from Ruby Peto asking de László if he will donate money to a women's hospital. Musicians and actresses have endowed a bed and the author is collecting money for an artists-endowed bed. Second item is a draft in de László's hand, most of which is illegible. He writes "send £2", presumably in response to Ruby Peto's request for a charitable donation

Sender: Preetorius II, Wilhelm (1852 - 1924)
Recipient: László, Philip Alexius de (1869 - 1937)
Letter from Wilhelm Preetorius II congratulating de László on receiving the Grand Officer of the Order of the Crown of Italy. Preetorius advises the artist to "not take on too much; keep your freshness by giving yourself more rest and choosing your sitters". The remainder of the letter is mostly concerned with Preetorius' family life--his elder daughter's recent remarriage; the poor health of his wife, younger daughter and grandson; and his son's passing. He thanks de László for the gift of money he wired. He finishes the letter by passing on greetings from the artist, Max Thedy: "He was our guest of 3 weeks and painted 3 men and a lady and 2 children's portraits which were all very successful: 75 Dollars per picture!! An example of conditions in Germany!!!"

He wishes St. Francis' teachings were more widespread "so that the world could be lifted from this terrible materialism in which we now live"
