Also enclosed is a course syllabus by F. D. Batiouchkov dated February 7, 1900. In an article entitled "Ф. Д. Батюшков и Дени Рош" (F. D. Batiouchkov and Denis Roche) based on Roche's letters to Batiouchkov preserved in the manuscript department of the Pushkin House in St. Petersburg, P. R. Zaborov writes: "О письмах Батюшкова к Рошу нам ничего не известно" (Nothing is known to us about letters from Batiouchkov to Roche) in Русская Литература, no. 1, 2024, pp. 173-180. The present correspondence fills a large part of this gap. Some letters are in very poor condition (mold) but remain fully legible. Provenance: Archives of Denis Roche. [Russian art]
