ALS in Cyrillic, signed "Count L. Tolstoy," two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 8.5, no date. Letter to Prince Dmitry Dmitrievich, in full (translated): "I am forwarding to you the letter to my mother-in-law, Lyubov Aleksandrovna Behrs, in which I am writing to her that you were so kind to undertake to deliver this money to her, and even there, in Petersburg, to complete the transaction, thus saving her the trouble. I would not have bothered her at all had not the transfers been already made in her name. I'm sorry to trouble you. Thank you very much. May God grant you success and, most importantly, spiritual strength, which depends a lot on oneself." He adds a postscript, "Tomorrow, I shall send the 1,000-ruble bill with the transfer to L.A. Behrs." In fine condition.
