As concerns Sublieutenant Aleksei Grigor’ev who was in Her Imperial Majesty’s service in the Taurica Jäger Corps [Tavricheskii yegerskii korpus] as adjutant in the Third Battalion, in accordance with his request due to attacks of illness I released him from service in the rank of sublieutenant, he not having completed his fixed term of service. Upon his being dropped from the regiment he was sent to his home in the town of Pskov. Regarding this and my issuing to him an order for his release I informed the Military Collegium. I affix my signature and seal in witness of this and to a passport in order to provide unhindered future passage wherever he needs to go in Russia. Given in Kherson on the 31st day of December of the year 1790. 

I am, General-Field Marshal of Her Imperial Majesty my All-Merciful Sovereign, commander-in-chief of the Yekaterinoslav Army.
