Original 1945 letter written in Constantinople (Istanbul) and addressed to Metropolitan Panteleimon Fostinis of Samos, one of the most notable Greek Orthodox hierarchs of the 20th century.
Dated 11 September 1945, the letter discusses ecclesiastical matters, health concerns, family issues, and political–religious developments in post-war Constantinople.
This is a two-page manuscript (double-sided), densely written in Katharevousa Greek.
The writer refers to the Patriarchate, the Theological School, the situation in Asia Minor, and personal relations with the Metropolitan. The text is rich in historical and theological context, offering valuable insight into the life of Greek clergy during the difficult years following WWII.
The signature appears clearly at the end of the second page (likely a priest or senior ecclesiastical figure).
Age toning, horizontal/vertical folds, some stains and paper waviness. Ink remains readable and signature clear. Overall good vintage condition
