On a trip to Europe, the Duke of Leuchtenberg made a stopover in Sicily. He comments on his business. “Krapkowski's report is beautiful and gave me great pleasure. I hardly expected such a beautiful result. I have always, even in Wekrat's time, found that the peasants of Ivanska were too overloaded with work and that is why we increased their number by bringing in those of Otias […]. The price of 2 bisk a bag of flour seems low to me to sell the harvest now and we could wait quietly. I see that this year's run was not great, I expected it, there were too many horses at Galancz. It will be that of next year which will be beautiful […]. I learn with pleasure that the team is beautiful and has done well. Only have the goodness to recommend that we take turns cleaning the stalls in the manner I had indicated”. He talks about the rest of his trip to Alexandria, then his scheduled return to Russia.
