With this letter I would like to ask the esteemed Council of the holy monastery to notify me if it has received my letter conveyed by the Archimandrite and Doctor, Chrysanthos Makris, and on its decision on my request contained in the letter. I intend to proceed with the publication of the work detailed in my letter and I would like to know the intentions of the monastery regarding my petition.
