[a]<\/a> The dampness of the castle and park in Nagycenk was caused by the Ikva Stream and the lakes feeding from its waters, and the groundwater connected to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[b]<\/a> William Jones, Sz\u00e9chenyi’s English groom, who was in England at the time to buy a horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[c]<\/a> It is another Simmering race, but we do not know the results. On 7 October Sz\u00e9chenyi went to England for a few days because the English authorities had encountered difficulties in exporting the horses Jones had bought there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[d]<\/a> Count J\u00e1nos Trautmannsdorf-Weinsberg (1780\u20131834), Austrian chief equerry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[e]<\/a> According to the \u00d6sterreichischer Beobachter of 15 November 1816, Lord Stewart\u2019s horse Caper defeated Sz\u00e9chenyi\u2019s horse Smolensko in two consecutive races. In another race, the mare Danina of the English envoy in Vienna also beat Sz\u00e9chenyi\u2019s Sledmer. In the last race, however, Sledmere beat Danina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[f]<\/a> The letter was written based on its content in 1816. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
