Three unknown letters of Filaret Kolessa are the object of research in this sci- entific investigation: the first letter addressed to the “Reverend Father Dean” dated December 30, 1944, the second one to “Dear Friend Mykhailo Bardak, Master in Rudnyky” – January 14, 1945, and the third to “Her Excellency Mrs. Benefactress”, without a date. A letter from his wife Maria is also considered. Seemingly, it would be enough just to publish them. But these letters are being a good material for systematic scientific research and comprehensive investigation of traditional spiritual culture, its carriers, connoisseurs and researchers, etc. Therefore, these messages deserve de- tailed textual analysis. Summarizing the results, it should be noted that even a superficial systematic scientific research opens wide opportunities for further more detailed (in-depth) study 166 of the invisible at first sight conclusions laid down in the object of study. This means, that a multidisciplinary approach should also be applied to the obtained scientific conclusions, which could be joined by interested specialists from different areas: in this case not only ethnomusicologists, but also folklorists, historians, biographers, theologians, and finally, Kolessa-scholars.
