Dashkoff's general Character is That of a most
accomplished and very honourable Young Man,
but too free in his speech, and overrun with Vanity.

My Brother's acquaintance with Count Mellin
commenced at Krementchuck on his return
from his Tour with Prince Potemkin. The
Quarrel had even then risen to a Challenge,
which had been given by the Count to the
Prince Dashkoff, and a Duel would have taken

Potemkin's precipitate & unexpected Departure
for Petersburg upon Genl Landskoy death

Prince Dashkoff, upon taking the Command of
Count Mellin's Men, had conceived some hasty,
and groundless Notions to the disdavantage of
the Count's behaviour in the Command; these
notions he had been spreading as inconsiderately
as he had taken them up. upon being questioned
concerning them by the Count, He would neither Retract
his Charges, nor could he make them good.
