Description
Letter dated March 17 1916 written from Tsarskoye Selo. Dolgorukov requests to be sent a wall clock for the Tsar's dining room and informs his stepfather that Brusilov has been appointed Commander-in Chief of the South Western front and that it has been proposed that the army continue to advance before consolidating. He goes onto report that Fredericksz says the Tsar is dissatisfied with Polivanov and so he has suggested Shuvalov as a replacement, Dolgorukov however disagrees that he would be suitable for War Minister and doubts that he will hold his post for long.
