Два приватна писма Светозара Милетића
Two Private Letters Written by Svetozar Miletić

Summary/Abstract: You will find enclosed in the work two private, unknown letters from 1856 written by Svetozar Miletić to Gavrilo Glasnik Jovanović, his close friend and life-long associate from the period of 1848-1849 Revolution. They shed light on parts of his early period of life, in the first place his private life, an intimate segment of Miletic’s personality that has been inadequately investigated and for which there is the smallest amount of documentation preserved. Bearing them in mind, we can conclude that he had an unsuccessful engagement proposal prior to his marriage with Anka Milutinovic, which had been initiated by Mr Jovanovic. The idea for the thirty year old Svetozar to marry Sofia, the daughter of a judge and a reputable citizen of Novi Sad, Stevan Branovacki, who was also the sister of Gavrilo’s spouse Milica, was not realised because of insufficient sincerity of both interested parties.
