Double-sided letter on ark. 27.6x20.8 cm. Letterhead of the Institute of Belarusian Culture. The author of the letter reports: "A seal of the 'Krakowskoy guberji' from the time of Alexander I was found in Minsk. Perhaps, then, Mr. Professor would be kind enough to inform whether this seal would have any significance for the history of the province of Krakow?". He also asks whether the addressee of the letter would have been able to provide scientific assistance in similar cases in the past. The letter continues by briefly informing him of the status of the Polish Sector: "it is the first and, for the time being, the only higher Polish scientific institution on the territory of the USSR. It consists of three commissions: historical, philological and ethnographic. It has as its primary goal the study of the Polish population in ethnographic Belarus in the above three scientific fields." Preserved original envelope. Staining of the corner of the sheet, envelope slightly rubbed.
