Millan Septr 7. N.S. 1780

"I arrived here four days ago: and set off again for Petersburgh
this evening. I am now at Baron Offenberg's, taking leave of him. You
can have but a very short letter. I am quite out of heart on account
of my not having yet received any one of your letters there 5 months
almost. I received here a letter from Pleschijeff in which he tells
me that Mr Shairpe notwithstanding the express directions I had given
him to the contrary, has sent your letters to Moscow: whether they will
be sent back again or further on the Lord knows where all, I
know not. Pleased on every other account with the excursion I have
made, I repent of it only from having missed your letters. I am
distracted with imagining the different things they may contain: This
letter can not be any longer — I came here with the equipage of
my friend the Count Chadkiawitch: in this manner was I brought
all through Poland, and not permitted to pay a farthing of expence.
I hope you are all well: but you may be all dead. I am better
than I have been since I left England; having almost got rid of my
piles. I wrote to you twice from Chernobyl: and shall write as soon
as I arrive at Petersburgh. Adieu."

On the above letter was an adornment in these words
This letter received from Baron Offenberg, under cover of Messrs. Stapel
Coxe & Meilan No 118 Bishopsgate written, the 5th Oct:r 1780
