Gracious Empress Maria Vasilievna! At the age of 12, I had a sporting to believe in the friendship of your father. We shared a difficult imprisonment in the Blessing, Chita and Petrovsky inseparable; You, Maria Vasilievna, I know your sisters and brothers, by the friendship of your father from the very young age and rejoiced with him and Alexandra Ivanovna that God awarded them with such worthy children.

Believe true respect and friendship to you all; God forbid, so that the case is introduced to my words and my feelings. With spiritual respect, I have the honor of being your humble servant Alexander Yakubovich. I testify to Peter Lvovich. He, right, remembers the Caucasian acquaintance. Friend and brother! Good Alec. Farewell to me badly - soon everything will be the end; The waterflower strangles me, and I lost the hope of a cure after me, I ask you to take some trifles as a keepsake and help our poor comrades from the capital, which I appointed on this subject.

Spiridov first appear in print with epistolary material; Until now, their letters have not been in print at all.

The prosti was presented only by two letters. The Decembrists of Yakushkin, Obolensky, Trubetskoy, Fonvizin, however, are better represented, but their greater importance in Decembrism requires more attention; The letters we have taken are given by fresh features of the life and moods of these Decembrists in Siberia. The available two insignificant Wadkovsky letters are not included in the Izbornik; In the recently published book: “Decembrists”, edited by B.

Modzalevsky and Yu. Oksman, a large collection of letters of this Decembrist to E. The last two are given, so we have them chronologically. Your letter dated April 6, amiable Vasily Lvovich, vividly transferred me to Krasnoyarsk, where I lived for more than six years. Although I am pleased that I was transferred here, I also remember with pleasure about Krasnoyarsk. Only they did not restrain their word against Tobolsk, they drove directly, probably the road frightened them.

What can I tell you about yourself, I have been healthy than God and all the local people found that you fed me like a bull in Krasnoyarsk. The local bread also go to me in the wings, only God save from such a belly as Art. From Basargin and from Pushchin 21 we have fresh news. They are all healthy, except for the poor pushchin, which is jerking off, the heartbeat of the heart has become a constant and strong ailment to him, so, according to Basargin, all his ordinary merryness disappeared.

This fear of us all upset us - and there is no one to help in Turinsk. I consulted here to describe the disease with a rather skilled physician and sent him an instruction in the past mail - and recipes. I am somewhat reassuring that the doctor attributes this seizure to the hemorrhoid, not aneurysm. But in any case, this disease is not good. In the past post, I also received a letter from Obolensky 22; He believes me in Krasnoyarsk, and therefore put a small sheet to your Vasya, which I am attached to this.

Please write whether your brother was tied with your big scarf when we were escorted, he was correctly presented to you by someone as a keepsake, therefore, if this is your I will send it to you; And you probably still have a small one who knitted Kat. From the news, I will tell you only one who may be interested in Vasily Nikolaevich, who is asking to transfer her along with a bow that Chizhev had been promoted to officers over last year’s expedition.

Stepanide Alex. At the current post I am sending from Brigen to Mozgalevsky 23 on minus money. Please notify when they work out in Krasnoyarsk, because it is long to expect an answer from him. Farewell, my dear and venerable Vasily Lvovich, I hug you with all my heart and the whole handle of the kindest Alexandra Ivanovna. Vasya, Sasha, Vanya and Leo, just then, as the great Balovenian Alexandra Ivanovna will lull, I ask you to kiss.

Christ with you, I wish you all the best. With all my heart, I will be heartily devoted to you P. Pushkin Baryatinsky 25 healthy and bows to all of you. Tobolsk, October 11, we received your good letter of August 14, dear Vasily Lvovich, and for us it was a true joy to find out about two happy events at once: first of all, about the resolution of our sweet Alexandra and the birth of a little Sophia, then about the upcoming marriage of your daughter and g.

Felleizen, who, being based on mutual inclination, cannot but be happy. So, we were happy with the heart, having received so many pleasant news at once. Take, dear friend, on the occasion of these two events, the most sincere congratulations emanating from the heart, gently devoted to you. I also thank you for all the good news that you tell me about your sweet family, so close to me by the feelings of friendship and love that I have for you.Now, as always, I sincerely wish you all well -being and would like the material conditions of your existence to be also joyful as those that the heart lives.

The details you have reported about my lovely gods of Vasya and Sasha and about their successes in the sciences delight me in the same way as the good state of their health. What I would not give to see all these cute children around me, hug and press them to my heart, like you, dear friend. All those who come from Krasnoyarsk tell me that my little godsman Sasha is a small miracle in grace, mind, beauty and kindness.

Obviously, you did not receive my June letter; You do not mention him in your letter. It seems that I can’t tell you anything about our existence that you would not know. Our life in Tobolsk flows very peaceful and very monotonous. My health is as good as it can be at my age, my wife’s health is better than it was at the beginning of our stay here, and we got used to the climate, although it is not very good.

We live very solitary and usually see few people. Pavel Sergeevich 26 happens to us daily. He is healthy and sends you all through my friendly greetings. Pushchin has been here for two months. Poor Small came here to be treated from a heartbeat that caused him terrible suffering: it was something like the disease that my wife transferred to Petrovsky. But here he, thank God, found a doctor who first guessed the place where the disease was covered, and then treated it correctly.

But the treatment was extremely painful for the patient, as he inexplicably suffered from exhaustion; He literally starved. Now the doctor allowed him a chicken broth. The poor and, I. The only event that revives our monotonous existence, is a mail that regularly delivers letters from the house twice a week. My brother and children were healthy two weeks ago - letters come to us after 12-13 days.

Our sons are already big and are going to join the university. Farewell, dear Vasily Lvovich. Gently hug you and your cute children. Kiss the hand of our good Alexandra Ivanovna for me and give her the expression of my sincere reverence. Also pass on my friendly greetings to the respectable Mikhail Fotievich, remind me of Mikhail Matveevich and tell him from me, like everyone who remembers me.

Goodbye. Believe the sincere friendship of M. Fonvizin devoted to you further in Russian. I congratulate you, my dear and kind friend, Alexandra Ivanovna, with the birth of a sweet sonchik, God forbid, that she was just as sweet and comforted you as Milushka Sasha, about whom all miracles tell us. I ask for me to kiss our sweet stranger, who probably has never heard of us yet.

We were also pleased about the marriage of your good Marie; That's why Katya and Lisa are already a bride, and look that I will again have to congratulate you and at their expense. Yes, Sasha is already looking at large. It’s sad in separation from their own, but for what joy, my dear friends, if the Lord connected you to everyone. I imagine, as if my good uncle burst into tears, seeing them as they are now, God forbid to all your sweet children to be happy.

They are all so kind, this happiness is stronger than any other on earth - despite this, I would like you to be reassured from all sides. He and Pav. Fotievich please pass on my heart greeting. Please write to us more details about the Sonichka. Now you can see who she looks like from the children. All of yours Natalya von Vizina. Turinsk, May 28 with last mail, so on the bitter bowl is already drained, Vasily is probably on the way, or maybe even in Moscow.
