Dear George,
As promised, I have enclosed the map of Tisna that has been compiled by my father.
His next project is the village of Habkivtski, situated to the northwest of Tisna. You should also note that the map of Tisna is on the same scale and links up to the earlier map of Dovzhytsia.
With best wishes for your project in the future.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Lawriwsky
