at my return here I found yours of the 22d of May directed to Pleschijeff
I found also one from Sr J or rather from my friend Carew containing both their
advices (to answer to my letter about my machine) to "look forward to old"
"England for the first recompence of my ingenuity" This however
does not prevent my trying some experiments relating to it although it
sets me a wavering with respect to part of my intentions.

My amphibious vehicle is just now finished and I shall set off in it shortly
for Perme a town that is or rather will be situated (for it is scarcely begun)
between Catherineberg & Cazan it is to be the Capital of the Government
which will is henceforth to be called by the same name and which will
take in a great part of that which hitherto has been called Siberia.
The establishment of the new mode of Jurisdiction or the opening this new Government
is to take place the beginning of October with great ceremony which I
it is to be understood have been staying in this part of the country to be
eye witness of. I shall send you an account of this when it takes
place and shall at the same time be able to tell you which way
I turn from thence.

I received a letter at the same time from Pleschijeff telling me that he was
in expectation of setting out in September with the Grand Duke on his
travels for a year or more. No more letters therefore must be directed to him
Let them be all directed to Sir James Harris. I am sorry on my
account that at Ples travelling but on his part he may establish his
health. I received also a letter from Ld Sandwich enclosing that may from
the Navy board it was written in his own hand, but hang him for not
taking notice of the hint I agve him of having other proposals to offer.
