Till the Catastrophe He had all along shewn a backwardness
not suitable to the Character of a Military Man, to
give the Count what is called a Satisfaction
My Brother, together with some other of his Friends,
had been earnest with him, from the first to the
last, either to fight the Count, or to beg his Pardon,
or to do both. The consequence of the Calumny
had been ruinous to the poor Count, he had
lost a good deal of his Reputation, was in
danger of losing his Battallion, upon which he
had spent a considerable part of his fortune,
and had actually lost his Mistress, a lady of
large fortune to whom he had been in a manner
engaged.

A remarkable circumstance, is, that the Count,
after his disappointment at Krementchuck,
knowing my Brother's Intimacy with the Prince
Dashkoff, wrote, notwithstanding, to my Brother,
to beg of him to be his, the Count's, Second in
this Duel; upon his declining it he persisted
notwithstanding, and came to Critchoff from
Krementchuck on no other Errand, but in vain,
as you may well suppose.
