Abstract
The author deals with two letters sent by Ivo Pilar to Professor Josef Reidlich between the two World Wars. These until now unknown letters were found in the Austrian National Library (Österreichische Nationalbibliothek) in Vienna. Both letters serve as testaments to the unbroken connection between Pilar and his prominent Austrian acquaintance, giving us insight into Pilar’s views about the reasons for the downfall of Austria-Hungary, as well as other topics, including his thoughts on the current situation in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, or his stance on religious matters as the key to understanding the »South Slavic question«.
