71. О сборах в пользу различных обществ и учреждений

Your Reverence, most honorable Mother Abbess Lyudmila in the Lord! I received your letter dated March 23 and thank you for congratulating me, a sinner, on the feasts of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin and the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem, also on the Great Holy Week and, finally, on the great feast of the bright Resurrection of Christ and for your well wishes. I also received twelve rubles from you by mail transfer, which were distributed according to your destination. May the All-merciful Lord reward you for your zeal with His great mercy according to the disposition of your heart. You write that you do not send the full collections, for example, in favor of the Russian Red Cross Society, etc., bearing in mind many other demands of the diocese for which there are no collections. – At the very least, order the collection with a reservation, for example, in favor of the Russian Red Cross Society and for other diocesan needs. Then you can separate with a clear conscience. Teacher Evdokia has been approved. - God bless! Asking for you and your cell attendants: mm. To Paphnutius, Hilarion, Zosima, Onesiphorus and Maria, and to M. Vyacheslav with the teacher Evdokia, and to your entire monastery peace and God's blessing, I remain with sincere good wishes.
