Four letters from Konstantin Golenko:
(a) typescript, dated 3 January 1966, thanking IS for his letter and advising that he had sent the monograph of Retowsky. He states that his interest lay in English-language literature on Greek numismatics, especially in the Black Sea area, and on Roman Imperial and Byzantine coinage, and he offers to send any Soviet numismatic literature that is of interest. There are manuscript annotations [of IS] with reference to books already sent and KG's name and address in Russian/Cyrillic characters.
(b) manuscript, dated 27 January 1966, thanking IS for his list of recent English numismatic literature, saying that he would like all but one of the titles, and again offering to send an Soviet literature that he requires. KG mentions in particular the journals Numismatica y Epigraphica and Numismatica y Sphragistica.
(c) typescript, dated 10 October 1966, thanking IS for his letter and offprints, and stating that he is sending some of his "notes" on Byzantine coins. KG also notes that there is a recent catalogue of Byzantine coins in the Museum in Tbilisi (Georgia) and offers to send it if it is of any interest.
(d) manuscript, dated 8 March 1967, thanking IS for his letter and the book of J. [Robin] Porteus, which arrived safely, and stating that he has already sent the catalogue of Tbilisi and would be happy to learn of any other Soviet publications that are of interest.
