P.Sheremetev, - I give to a family Kovalevsky eternal freedom in an assurance of their noble origin that they could choose a life sort, to decent their rank '.

Even Has been found ' live and cash ' shljahtich Kovalevsky which ' has adopted ' parashu. From it the portrait and a miniature have urgently been written. This small portrait parasha carried on a chain.
