Note 126 — Chapter 31 My Father’s Death—My Heritage—The Partition—Two Nephews

I think while I am speaking of Dmitry Pavlovitch I ought not to omit to mention his last action in regard to me. After my father’s death he was left owing me forty thousand silver roubles. I went abroad without claiming this money. When he died, he directed his executors that I should be the first of his debtors to be paid, because I could officially claim nothing. I received the money by the next post after that by which I heard of his death.
