Abstract

The article defines the authorship and dating of the Letter to Sophia Nikolaevna and Ekaterina Nikolaevna, the Daughters of N. M. Karamzin (RGALI, copy), erroneously attributed to Karamzin and incorrectly dated 1810. The archival and epistolary sources, as well as the content of the message, point to the authorship to P. A. Vyazemsky and clarify the dating, summer of 1822. The handwritten copy was made, apparently, by the daughter of the historiographer E. N. Karamzina.
