Mr. Luther Eskijian
2223 Midlethian Dr.
Altadena, Calif. U.S.A.
Dear Mr, Eskijian,
I remember we have had two correspondences with you. Our first
correspondence was about a book you intended to publish in memory of
your father.
The second correspondence was my big report about my visions
and aspivations on our work in the Middle East, in answer to a question-
nare you had sent to me with your nice, Miss Janjikian.
I aia not hear from you about either of them.
I have a new idea about same kind of publication in memory of
your father. During the last several years we devoted one whole number
of Tehanasser to each of the following important personalities who have
had real achievements in their life. Among them we took Rev. P. Kalfayan,
Rev. ¥. Kassouny, Prof. L. Levonian, Rev. Y. Hadidian. Next month we
are devoting one whole number to Rev. A. Shirajian, who kept a big
orphanage in Aleppo, during the first World War.
My idea is to devote a number of Tchanasser to the memory and
works of your father. If you agree with this idea, and if you are
willing to pass on to us all the literature you collected. I am sure
our editorial committee will agree to it.
eee
Some of our visions about publication work are being realized.
Now the building of the Kalfayan Publication House is already finishea,
and since August 1, 1964, 911 our pginting work 1s being carried there.
We shall soan begin the printing of the Children's Edition or
the Bible in Armenian,
