Rt. Rev. Sir:

I am writing you this letter of inquiry concerning the liturgical books of the Armenian Church. I have studied classical Armenian and am able to read the Bible, Krapar edition, with the help of Bedrosian's dictionary. I would like to obtain the liturgical books which correspond to the Greek Orthodox books such as the Horologion, The Oktoechos, the Euchologion, and the Menaion. J ~--.-- --· ~ '\ ~._· \ \-n!-1 I would be most grateful if you could direct\ me to an American or European ~\'1 distributor of your liturgical books. I would like to thank you very much in advance for your kindness and assistance. ,

Sincerely yours, ,:.. ~&·viv.J P. ~ The Rev. Richard D. Brigham
