1 I have just had a few hurried lines from Jonathan from Transylvania.
2 He, our enemy, have gone away; he have gone back to his Castle in Transylvania.
3 There are thousands of them in Hungary and Transylvania, who are almost outside all law.
4 I asked him a few questions on Transylvania history, and he warmed up to the subject wonderfully.
5 I suppose it was the recollection, so powerfully brought home to me by the grim surroundings, of that terrible experience in Transylvania.
6 In the summer of this year we made a journey to Transylvania, and went over the old ground which was, and is, to us so full of vivid and terrible memories.
7 In the population of Transylvania there are four distinct nationalities: Saxons in the South, and mixed with them the Wallachs, who are the descendants of the Dacians; Magyars in the West, and Szekelys in the East and North.
8 I find that the district he named is in the extreme east of the country, just on the borders of three states, Transylvania, Moldavia and Bukovina, in the midst of the Carpathian mountains; one of the wildest and least known portions of Europe.
9 Having had some time at my disposal when in London, I had visited the British Museum, and made search among the books and maps in the library regarding Transylvania; it had struck me that some foreknowledge of the country could hardly fail to have some importance in dealing with a nobleman of that country.
