Abstract
The article represents a brief description of the complex of written documents which belong to the Krasnoyarsk merchant family - the Larionovs - and are dated to the late XVIII - early XX centuries. The study of this collection allows to enrich significantly the existing views on the commercial and enterprising activities of ordinary Siberian merchants, their culture and communicative norms. It also contributes a lot to investigating the history of everyday life of Siberian citizens. Four business letters to Ivan P. Larionov are published.
