Note 82 — Chapter 5 Golovin
Constance Garnett translation
C.—‘To send back a letter without reading it is an act of insolence worthy of brave men. To send back a letter on the supposition that it contains a request for money though there is nothing of the sort in it, one must be a Jew. To send back a letter without knowing whether it contains something affecting one’s honour, one must have a strange conception of honour.’
