What I tore off and have scratched out was
what I had mistake written on this piece of paper instead of in a letter to this
said Governor. His name is Lambe He says that he is of English or rather
Scotch extraction. An ancestor of his was taken to the service of a Czar before
Peter the Great: but in short this is a matter which being is so little interesting compared
to his good qualities that I have forgotten it.
The machine I wrote to you last about is tried in the model
to the perfect satisfaction of everybody. It would be almost
ready in the great but 6 weeks hollidays for at this season
of the year for the men to make their hay &c puts a
stop to it. You shall hear more of it as soon as
it can be finished. I beg'd you in my last to give
me information about windmills. All mechanical
information would be highly acceptable.
