| Description | Your Excellency
Before the most desirable hour came on for me to go and obtain the greatest honour of your excellency's Company; I was already induced by a very unfavourbale circumstance to go back to Cronstadt as soon as possible and remain like a presidious man to beg your Excellency's kind excuse for breaking my word.
Your Excellency
most obedient and humble servant
