At night, obeying restless senile insomnia, Matvey Savelyev Kozhemyakin, sitting in bed, recalls his life day after day and clearly, with a large half-body, writes his memories in a thick notebook entitled as follows:"Mental and heartfelt remarks, as well as some cases from the life of the city of Okurov, recorded by an unknown resident of this city from stories and his own observation." Below, in smaller handwriting, is attributed:"For reading with confidence and for knowing the mournful life of the county Russian city."
