been expecting to have a private audience with the Empress and
I trusted to the courage that that event would give me to write to my
father. I have now had that honour. Her majesty expressed herself
much pleased with my observations and very sensible of the Utility of
them. Since that she has let me know I have through Prince Dashoff
asked leave to communicate to her in future such ideas as appear to me
usefull
towards the improvement of the parts of the country I have been in
for which offer she sur expressed herself much obliged to me, and gives me
leave to address any thing to her through the Prince's hands. She also
ordered a Chart of one of the provinces to be done according to
a plan of mine for exhibiting an absolute & comparative view of
the pop state of population, which Chart I am in hopes may
be ready to present to her in a fortnight. An English Courier
which Sir James will dispatch shortly shall bring you a
full account of all this, together with the letter which you require.
