Cele ce se aud de pe la Ierusalim,\n\u00eemi dau \u0219i mie mult de g\u00e2ndit. Am fost\nzilele acestea iar\u0103\u0219i la Montreal \u0219i am trecut \u0219i pe la NY. \u0218i cei de la Arhiepiscopia\ngreac\u0103 din NY sunt de p\u0103rere s\u0103 mai r\u0103m\u00e2n pe aici, mai ales c\u0103 p\u00e2n-acum n-am\nreu\u0219it s\u0103 fac nimic nici pentru interesele\nmisiunii noastre din Ierusalim.<\/p>
