    About this ebook

    The letter that was open in front of my eyes was a kind of journey into past. I had already read it thrice, but I wanted to read it once again to find out whether I had missed something. The fourth reading of the letter began very slowly and attentively. The writer and the receiver of the letter were unknown to me but the discovery of so many letters in an old magazine that I had bought from a scrap merchant was not less than a treasure.
