MIKHAIL YURIEVICH LERMONTOV
Russian painter, poet and novelist (1814 - 1841)

I was travelling post from Tiflis.
All the luggage I had in my cart consisted of one small
portmanteau half filled with travelling-notes on Georgia; of
these the greater part has been lost, fortunately for you; but
the portmanteau itself and the rest of its contents have remained
intact, fortunately for me.
