Summary
Discussing his visit to Moscow for the Coronation; Saying "My immense toils are at last ended here. I have had a most laborious but triumphant and interesting time. I held yesterday the very best place in the Cathedral of the Coronation. The spectacle was supremely fine;" discussing where and with whom he has dined; adding that he speaks Russian "...well enough to go alone anywhere. But you will guess I have had enough of Moscow by this time, and I look forward eagerly to that dinner together you speak of;" concluding with his remaining itinerary before he returns.
