My dear Sam! Decr 31. 1779

Nothing can exceed the pleasure I have rece'd from reading the
letters you have sent from time to time to your Brother; which to save
you the trouble I look upon as written to myself; and am convinced
that nobody ever carried so large a freight of valuable recommendations as you
have done: but the agreable & respectful reception you have met with
wherever you have been must have been very flattering to you. I am
sure it has been to me on your account; as I am sensible bare recommendations
alone would not have done had not your own conduct
and behaviour given a sanction to them. It shews how truly friendly
and useful Sambouski's advice was to you, to visit & make yourself
acquainted with other maritime places on your way to Petersburg,
where the beneficial progress you have made in your Route thither will
I am sure make no doubt gain you a much better welcome in giving
you so much more additional consequence to what you carried out
with you by your letters from home. The occurrences you have
met with, & the good use you appear to have made of them cannot fail to have
enlarged your ideas, & qualified you to turn still more to your
advantage what future incidents may occur to you. Your last letter
from Luban of the 6 instant pleases me above all — as the intelligence
you gather'd respecting the advantages likely to accrue to
you by connecting yourself in trade with some responsible Merchant
or Merchants in the place where you mentioned seems at
first view and upon the first report to be very encouraging. My assistance,
my dear child, as far as my abilities enable me, you
may be assured of: you are not ignorant that my property tho' something
considerable, is yet all in land: but I shall be willing to
raise you £1000 & charge my estate with it, upon a reasonable satisfaction
