Content Summary

Széchenyi advises to Lajos to love his brother, Pál.

Lajos Széchényi

Szeressed Pali Ötsédet[a], mint ő téged.[b]

Ezt PISTA 8dik Esztendős korában irrta 1799.[c]


[a] Pál Széchényi, younger brother of István Széchenyi.

[b] To determine the date, the date written on the previous page of the memorial book was taken into consideration. The earliest known record of István Széchenyi was probably written at the same time, or at most a few days later. The occasion was one of the relatively rare meetings with his brother Lajos at that time.

[c] Probably a comment from Lajos Széchényi.
