Summary/Abstract: In the second article the experience of the annotated publications of Dostoevsky’s address records from his notebooks of the 1860s (as well as of other handwritten materials) is continued. The records are characterized in comparison with the similar handwritten materials of the 8170s. Like in the first article, all the records here are reproduced by autographs with the indication of their archival storage places. The regional commentary with the use of address books and other printed sources of that epoch (building tables, guide books, reference books etc) allowed rectifying a number of erroneous textual interpretations of the previous publications. The commentaries made it possible to restore historical addresses of the individuals and organizations contained in Dostoevsky’s manuscripts, to specify the personal data of the addressees with the greatest possible completeness. In scores of cases for the first time there were named the house owners and specified the house numbers or sometimes apartments. The given addresses are located in the map of Saint Petersburg.
