Dear friend and brother, I received your letter and thank you very much for your proposition.

Tchertkoff, Millhouse Purleigh Essex, England). I am not clear on what conditions can the «Sp[irit] Wr[estlers]» have the land. Please give me and the Commitee informations. With brotherly love yours truly Leo Tolstoy. 11 July 1898. Тула. Дорогой друг и брат, Я получил ваше письмо и очень благодарю вас за ваше предложение. Я посылаю ваше письмо в Англию, комитету, который учрежден для содействия переселению духоборов, не будете ли добры написать туда (Tchertkoff, Millhouse, Purleigh, Essex, England). Мне неясно, на каких условиях могли бы духоборы получить землю. Пожалуйста, сообщите это мне и комитету. С братской любовью искрение ваш Лев Толстой. 11 июля 1898.

Часть текста: 199. В. Гому (W. Gum). 1897 г. Октября 17. Я. П. 17-th Oct. 1897. Dear Friend, Thank you sincerely for your kind letter with good wishes for my persecuted friends and myself. As to the question you put to me I can add very little to the subject to what is stated in the book you vahe read. You are right in coming to the conclusion that we do not attach importance to dogmas such as the Evangelical conception of Atonement. But I think there is no need to be anxious on that account for such people as the Spirit Wrestlers. However different be our individual relation to such metaphysical conceptions as this one of the Atonement we cannot but agree that God is Love and Justice and that therefore if those who are trying to serve Him sincerely and to the best of their ability are not all able to understand such abstract questions alike, he cannot demand of them faith in that which they are not able to accept. Sincerity is enough for God. And the facts, you have become acquainted with in this book are, I think sufficient for dispelling any doubt as to the sincerity and faithfulness before their God of these people who are...

Часть текста: nearly 3000, but they have in all no more than 70 000 roubles, which is not half enough for their emigration, especially because they must pay 10 r. per head for their passeports. Our friend from the christian Commonwealth has sent to me a proposition to settle them in Texas. 1 I forwarded this letter to the English Committee for the emigration of the Douchoborys, and this proposition pleased very much to the Douchoborys themselves. Now what I ask of you is that you should inform us i. e. the commitee in England (adress Kenworthy or Tchertkoff), how much acres could they have in Texas at what price; 2) that you should inform us also at what price the ships could take the men for the passage and 3) to rise in America a subscription for an emigration fund for the Duochoborys. — I have collected till now about 5000. They defend to publish about it in Russia. 2 But I will nevertheless try to collect more by personal [appeals] to persons who can and will help. If you will be so good to do what I ask you, please write about it to me and to Tchertkoff. I admired very much your declaration about the war. 3 Please excuse the negligence of my letter. I have been very ill for a month and [am] not still well. With sincere love yours truly Leo Tolstoy. 11 July 1898. What do you know about C. F. Willard of Chicago who propose to settle the Douchoborys in America? Дорогой друг и брат, Положение духоборов, особенно тех, которые получили разрешение выселиться, очень тяжелое. Правительство усиливает против них репрессии. Кавказский наместник Голицын сказал им, что если они останутся верны своей вере, то их оставят в том же положении, т. е. их заморят голодом, а если они отступятся, то им вернут их прежнее благосостояние. Многие, почти 200 человек, не могли выдержать и отреклись от своей веры, говоря, что, хотя они и считают это неправильным, но не в состоянии более быть свидетелями...

Часть текста: But this is an illusion. Every community is a small island in the mist of an ocean of unchristian conditions of life, so that the christian relations exist only between members of the colony but outside that must remain unchristian, otherwise the colony would not exist for a moment. And therefore to live in community cannot save a christian from the contradiction between his conscience and his life. I do not mean to say that I do not approve of communities such as your commonwealth, or that I do not think them to be a good thing. On the contrary, I approve of them with all my heart and am very interested in your commonwealth and wish it the greatest success. I think that every man who can free himself from the conditions of wordly life without breaking the ties of love — love the main principle in the name of which he seeks new forms of life — I think such a man not only must, but naturally join people who have the same beliefs and who try to live up to them. If I were free I would immediately even at my age join such a colony. I only wished to say that the mere forming of communities is not a solution for the christian problem, but is only one ...
