Report/covering/letter/ Veniaminov, dated 14, April 1835, Sitka, to
Meletii, Archbishop of Irkutsk. In the report, V. States that in order to
effectively teach Christianity, he has composed in Aleut language a work
entitled Short Indication of the Road to the Kingdom of Heaven and that he,
V., intended to ask Bishop's permission to print this work.
However, as the Catechism which he submitted for printing was
printed with many errors, due to the proofreader's ignorance of the Aleut
language, as the printing of his, V's, translation of the gospels has been
stopped - and he was instructed by the Synod to use the gospels in manuscript,
he is keeping the Aleut version, using it too in manuscript, and submits the
translation into Russian for Archbishop's perusal for correction and comment.
On the document (first page, top) is Archbishop's notation. "The Dean of
the seminary is to read the composition and report to me"
