RGADA 1.85.1.277, L 7, CII to GAP ud, February 1774. The basic source for the letters between CII and GAP is V. S. Lopatin's Perepiska but in various cases, the author has also used the originals. Hence references give both the place of document and its page in Lopatin's Perepiska as 'L' plus page number.
