This book is a collection of materials from the personal archival collection of Hieromartyr John (Pommer), Archbishop of Riga and All Latvia. It is based on the extensive correspondence that the Latvian Bishop conducted in the 1920s and early 1930s with numerous correspondents in exile in many countries around the world. Among his correspondents were prominent Russian hierarchs, scholars, and cultural figures. The published letters address various pressing issues that troubled the Russian ecclesiastical émigré community at the time.

The book also includes correspondence on private matters from individuals who have not received widespread historical recognition, yet they provide a vivid insight into the plight of Russian refugees stranded in foreign lands. In addition to publishing this epistolary legacy, the publication also reproduces a number of other archival documents of historical interest. The published material is thoroughly commented on.

This book will be useful both for historians and for the general reader interested in the fate of the Russian Diaspora. The documents collected in this book reveal the personality of the holy martyr John in great detail.
