To President Dwight D. Eisenhower, The White House, Washington:
As a shipwreck of Hungarian liberty I have been taken aboard by your generosity in a refuge of my own country and as a guest of your Legation. Your hospitality surely saved me from immediate death.
With deep gratitude I am sending my heartfelt congratulations to Your Excellency on the occasion of your re-election to the Presidency of the United States, an exalted office whose glory is that it serves the highest ambitions of mankind: God, charity, wisdom and human happiness . . . May the Lord grant you and your nation greater strength...
