Dear Brother in Christ!

      Many thanks for your heartfelt Paschal greeting and lovely card. I also wish you all that is good from the Lord, and turn to you with a request. You see, it is reported in our newspapers that from now on we are allowed to receive by mail from abroad religious literature: Holy Scripture, prayer books, and even religious books and magazines-provided they don’t concern politics.

    Among Our acquaintances are many people – old and young– who have recently turned to Christ, who are in dire need of’ religious literature. Besides the Word of God, we’d very much like to have writings of the Holy Fathers, and also, for example, the Great Canon of St. Andrew of Crete. I know that Jordanville published some facsimiles of many patristic texts, including this particular canon.

    We would be ever so grateful if you could send us some literature of this kind…

    We should also like to know more about you: who are you, what do you do, how old are you, etc.

May the Lord keep you,
