On his way to the Russian capital, in Yaroslavl, he received a letter from Minister of War A. Chernyshev, "who communicated that Nicholas I wanted to receive from him a memorandum on the War of 1831, for which he promised him freedom and offered him service in the Russian army; Prądzyński firmly rejected the proposal. He wrote a 'Mémoire historique et militaire sur la guerre de Pologne en 1831' within three months [...]. On September 8, 1832, this memorandum was already in the possession of the Tsar, who very positively evaluated Prądzyński's work, and therefore returned him to freedom and [...] allowed him to return to the country" (PSB). Excerpts from the Polish translation and the French original were published in 1849 and 1886.
