1860 May 25 – Evdokimov’s letter addressed to Orbeliani, with suggestion of providing him with information about the desire of Kabardians to go to pilgrimage.
Lacking still positive information about the movement of people who wanted to goon a pilgrimage to Turkey, I strongly urge Your Excellency to inform me about their destination:
Will the people who had registered their names earlier for departure, stay in their places? Or are they still hoping to depart to Turkey? And in the case of the latter it concerns me greatly, to know the number of families that intend to depart from your province, and when exactly they intend of depart…
I am particularly interested in knowing if those Kabardians that you intended to expel have departed and the similar number of families that had gathered and whether they have departed to their destination, since the date that you have specified has passed.
