Empress of Russia, 1762–1796. She murdered her husband, Peter III, and proclaimed herself Czarina in 1762. Manuscript DS, in Cyrillic, signed “Yekaterina,” one page, 7.5 x 12.25, March 20, 1785. Document to Prince Grigoriy Aleksandrovich. In full (translated): “It is necessary that fifteen thousand rubles earned by the carpenters wages for the month of April of this year be distributed at the Kherson Shipyard. We have ordered that bank notes be released to your department from Saint Petersburg for the remaining sums from the Treasury, trusting you to receive and use them to make the disposition at your discretion.” A central horizontal fold, slightly affecting the large first letter of the signature, a light uniform shade of toning, staining to the lower right corner, a few dings to the left edge, and some erased pencil notations, otherwise fine condition.
