For details of Kreutzwald’s publication history, see the first part of H. Laidvee “Fr.R. Kreutzwaldi T^o^od” [Laidvee: 15-170].A more straightforward and updated chronology is at the beginning of “Fr.R. Kreutzwaldi bibliograafia” [FRKB:7-19].

Fet’s statement about never hearing about a doctor has not escaped the notice of researchers in V^oru. V. Ots [Ots: 17] notes Fet’s observation and states that of course we know that there was a doctor, Kreutzwald. Since, however, Ots is writing for an Estonian audience, specifically one in V^oru, she situates the problem in the world of what was and presumably still is known to everyone in V^oru, not the much stranger world of Fet’s prose poetics, or the less well-informed one of a twenty-first century non-Estonian readership.13
Kreutzwald’s correspondence on this point is quoted in [Ots: 19–20].14
Although Sivers was some three years younger than Fet, they were indeed together at school. Sivers was sent off to boarding school slightly early because of his family situation [Spehr: 3–4]. Fet, for his part, might never have gone to this particular school at all had it not been for a traumatic change, around that time, in his legal status (he lost his claim to be a Shenshin and was declared a German subject resident in Russia), which his family evidently preferred he learn about after he was already settled in with Kr"ummer in a German-Russian environment.15
For the period up to the end of Kreutzwald’s life [Laidvee: 341–343,356,363–365] lists responses to16
According to “Fr.R. Kreutzwaldi bibliograafia”, the book really was published only in 1904 [FRKB: 12].References

Первый тютчевский юбилей (1903)
Тридцать лет спустя после кончины Тютчева посмертная биография поэта ознаменовалась первой крупной датой. 23 ноября 1903 года, в годовщину столетия со дня его рождения, в Петербурге в Новодевичьем монастыре были отслужены заупокойная литургия и панихида и, как сообщается в газетной хроникальной заметке,
на могиле поэта совершена лития. Присутствовали г-жа О.А. Тютчева, жена старшего сына поэта И.Ф., и сын покойного Ф.Ф. Тютчев. Отсутствие остальных членов семьи объясняется тем, что они отбыли в Орел, где чествуется память поэта, принадлежавшего к дворянству Орловской губернии. На могиле, – добавляет газетный репортер, – не было ни одного литератора1
