The most renowned and the longest-ruling female leader of Russia, reigning from July 9, 1762 until her death in 1796 at the age of 67. ALS in German, one page, 8 x 6.25, March 29, 1781. Handwritten letter to a "General Governor," in part (translated): "I recently discovered a book where I found the passage that is copied on the third page of this sheet of paper. I send this to you because it might contain matters of some interest to your sandy territories. If this method of fixing the shifting sand is not yet known in your territories, and if you don't know a better one, a try might be worthwhile in order to make it fashionable. The bee carries all kinds of nectar to the beehive." The passage to which she refers is no longer present. In fine condition.
