Prophecy letter
Evgeny Petrov, author of "12 chairs" and "The Golden Calf" had a strange and rare hobby: all his life he collected envelopes … from his own letters! He did it this way - he sent a letter to some country. He invented everything except the name of the state - the city, the street, the house number, the name of the addressee, so in a month and a half the envelope returned to Petrov, but already decorated with multicolored foreign stamps, the main of which was: "The addressee is incorrect."
One day his letter went to New Zealand. In a letter he wrote in English: “Dear Merrill! Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Uncle Pete. Be strong, old man. Forgive me for not writing for a long time. Hope Ingrid is okay. Kiss my daughter for me. She's probably already quite big. Your Eugene."
A few months later, after an unsuccessful wait, having decided that it was lost, Evgeny Petrov began to forget about him. Imagine the writer's surprise when he saw that it was not his letter that had returned, but … the answer, and the return address was the same, invented: "New Zealand, Hydebirdville, Reitbeach, 7, Merrill Ogin Weisley." The stamps also confirmed the reality of the addressee.
The letter read: “Dear Eugene! Thanks for the condolences. Uncle Pete's ridiculous death unsettled us for six months. I hope you will forgive the delay in the letter. Ingrid and I often remember those two days that you were with us. Gloria is very big and will go to the 2nd grade in the fall. She still keeps the bear you brought her from Russia."
Petrov had never traveled to New Zealand, and therefore he was all the more amazed to see in the photograph a strong build of a man who hugged … himself, Petrov! On the reverse side of the picture was written: "October 9, 1938". This date shocked the writer: it was on that day that he was admitted to the hospital unconscious with severe pneumonia and the doctors fought for his life, not hiding from his family that he had almost no chance of survival.
To sort out this misunderstanding, Petrov wrote another letter to New Zealand, but did not wait for an answer: the Second World War began. In 1942, the plane on which he flew into the war zone (Petrov became a military journalist) was shot down over enemy territory.
On the same day, when the news of the disappearance of the plane arrived in Moscow, a reply from Merrill Weisley reached Petrov's home address. Weisley admired the courage of the Soviet people and expressed concern for the life of Yevgeny himself. In particular, he wrote: “I got scared when you started swimming in the lake. The water was very cold. But you said you were destined to crash on a plane, not drown. Please, be careful - fly as little as possible."
