We agreed with him on the basis of studying the French language, in which he was not sufficiently prepared, and then remained inseparable friends. Nikolai Matvevich was a very healthy, lively boy, showing great dexterity in games, in which he remained a winner. Very capable, vividly interested in everything, N.M. passionately loved nature and with great interest followed the birds, knowing them not only by their appearance, but also by their voices. Already at this time, he showed a tendency to turn to books for exact instructions, since his home could not help him in this.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
