Dear Jurii Vladimirovich!

I offer You my heartfelt thanks for Your letter and founding charter for the Society for the Aid of Russian Children, which You sent to my Chancellery. Unfortunately, circumstances are such that I cannot be in Brussels for the first benefit concert for the Society. I ask You to kindly convey my warmest greetings and thanks to all the organizers and participants in the concert.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish You success and God’s help in Your important work.

To you, ever gratefully,
