Summary/Abstract: Only fragments of the private correspondence of Mihály Pekár, professor of medicine and dean of faculty at the Elisabeth University (first in Pozsony/Bratislava, then in Budapest, and finally in Pécs) were acquired in auctions by two archives of Hungary. The author analysed and gave a short summary in his paper how favouritism is reflected in these private letters: who and why used one’s influence. In addition, fourteen selected documents are also published in full length to illustrate those cases.
