A message to posterity

In 1935 during repairing works in one of the old houses In Yalutorovsk a sealed bottle was found with a letter inside. In historical literature it is known as a ‘Will of V.I. Muravjev-Apostol’.
‘According to legends the house was built during the reign of Ekaterina II by Egor Beloussov. In 1838 the house was bought by a state criminal Matvei Muravjev-Apostol. In 1839 he completely re-built the house. In 1849 the hall was re-constructed into a room with a fireplace under which Muravjev put the bottle. The other state criminals living in Yalutorovsk:
Ivan Yakishkin
Ivan Pushin
Nikolai Bassargin
Vassili Tiezenghausen
Evgeni Obolenski
Andrei Entaltsev, our mate, died here, in Yalutorovsk on Saturday, January 27, 1843, and was buried on the Yalutorovsk cemetery by an archpriest Stephan Znamenski. In Yalutorovsk another mate of ours died in 1830, Vassili Vranitski. Yakushkin and me arrived in Yalutorovsk in 1836, Pushin and Obolenski in 1834, Bassargin in 1847, Tiezenghausen in 1829, Entaltsev in 1830. For pleasure and benefit of future archaeologists I put this note on the 18th of August 1849 and with them all the best in the world.’
