The article is focused on the Sverbeev family epistolary archive study findings. Especially, this means letters of D.N. Sverbeev (1799–1874), a memoirist, and E.A. Sverbeeva (1808–1892), his wife, a hostess of the famous Moscow salon in 1840s, who had extensive ties to the Russian enlightened society. Epistolary intercourse of their sons and daughters (in particular, N.D. Sverbeev, A.D. Sverbeev and S.D. Sverbeeva) inherited and successfully maintained parents’ social ties is also of interest. T
