Business has been very slow, except for a large sale to Mr. Ivanovsky (for which I haven\u2019t received the money yet).<\/p>\n<p>The Philokalia arrived, but no one has bought yet. Vladimir was in yesterday. I gather that he has no particular interest in a Brotherhood. Which means, I suppose, that we two \u201cbrothers\u201d should work all the harder.<\/p>\n<p>You should have received your Paissy Velichkovsky by now.<\/p>\n<p>Olyas Kiot will soon be finished and will look quite nice, I think. I can begin your Kiot next if you\u2019ll bring up the icon next weekend.<\/p>\n<p>From Jordanville you should order the following:<br \/>\n10 each of all icons 8 x10 1\/2\u201d (3rd size).<br \/>\n10 Prayer Book, Russian script, paperback.<br \/>\n10 Selected Prayers to the Mother of God.<br \/>\n5 Hymns from all \u2014 night Vigil and Liturgy<br \/>\n5 Slobodskys Brief collected articles<br \/>\n10 St. Theophan the Recluse \u2014 What is the Spiritual Life.<br \/>\n5 Talberg, ? .<br \/>\n10 Sologub, Fr.
