as to the date it may be better perhaps to make
it August last. I
I scarcely know when to tell you to
direct to me at Petersberg: yes it will be best to Mr
Shairpe's the Consul.
M. Poushkin invited me to go with him from Petersberg
to Stockholm. He does not go till the Spring. If
I am not better engaged you may be sure I shall
accept the invitation. The duke was mighty
civil to him and chiefly at least in appearance on
account of the civilities he had shewn to Sparling &
We 3 had a good deal of talk together about England.
With the first parcel send me 1/2 a dozen things
of , balls, bottles, or flat pieces.
Send me also some more but put it in
2 or 3 very small phials. The smallest would certainly
contain enough to last a year and there would then
be a greater chance of one of them at least remaining
unbroken, besides the small phials are the strongest.
Send me also "Gregory's Comparative view".
The parcel must go with the first Russian Ships.
I'm assured I shall quit this place with the most
perfect satisfaction with respect to past as well
as future unless it be that I have spent much
more money than I would have wished: but yet
I wont come home poor.
Jany. 14h 1780. The Christmas day & New Years day my thoughts
were for a little while at Q.S.P. though I was myself in the midst of the Court.
