St Petersbourg Novr 8th OS 1782

Here am I and this is all I can tell you as yet.

As the Empress has done me the honour to tell me that she would
wish to talk to me, it certainly depends upon her fixing a time.

I have received at last a letter from you of a late date,
but what alteration that may make in my determinations I
cannot as yet let you know. In either case be of good
cheer. I sent despatched by the Kingston a vessel belonging
to the duchess of Kingston formerly her yatcht now a merchantship
under russian colours, 10 boxes & parcels directed for
Lord Shelburne. I took the liberty of directing them
to his Lordship partly because a part of the contents are
destined for him and partly that the people at the
custom house might be more civil. I must write to
his Lordship to explain the matter.

The box of books & a parcel including a letter of the 19th of
August 1781 is come to hand but no Phosporus near
home I as yet found. Adieu for the present
you know all letters are opened but that is nothing.
