June 7, 1903, in Ostafiev, in a room on top, in which Karamzin, living in the summer until 1816, wrote the History of the Russian State, and therefore called Karamzinskaya, took place, under the leadership of Count S.D. Sheremetyev, preliminary meeting of the Moscow Branch of the Commission "Antiquities and Novelties." I had a happy lot to start this Moscow edition of "Antiquities and Novelties" with a letter from Karamzin, from Tsarskoye Selo, from October 17, 1825 to the ever-memorable owner of Ostafyev, Prince P.A. Vyazemsky.
