contributed to the good Impression which has been made of your
Brother on the Secretary of State's Office. He is guilty of the whole
himself. He has ever had as far as I can find an unlucky knack
of producing similar Sensations upon all those that know him.

Prince Wiasemskoy has just now left me, he has had
pressing requests to enquire into the Family & Situation of our
Hero; I endeavoured to satisfy him on that Head —
I find from questioning in my turn that She really has
received from her Parents to the Amount of 9000 Roubles yearly
as a Donation; but Donation made with a View to her marrying
advantageously but of which She does not enjoy above
1500 for her own Expences, the rest going to defray those of
the Family. How far She could command the remainder
during the Life Time of her Parents if she marryed against
their Consent I could not learn. — It seems that the
Mother who was born a Princess Gogarin, & Who is the first
Dame D'Honneur de L'Imperatrice, Dame de Portrait &c
& long her first Favourite, has ever had the most ambitious
in the marriage of her Daughter, & Prince Wiasemskoy
tells me that the Marechal Galitzin would rejoice in seeing
her Pride a little Hurt, for hurt it would be that her Daughter
Should marry an untitled Gentleman, tho' he had the merits of an
Angel to recommend him. — Prince Wiasemskoy was to embark
on Sunday last for Lisbon, whether he did or not I have not yet
learnt. — I have the Honor to be with the Highest Respect
