Exeter Oct:r 23 - 1783
Dear Sir
In the letter which this answers I had asked
him whether he knew any thing of Olenitz, where Sam seemed then
likely to have settled, throwing out in general terms the idea that of my paying
him a visit there one of the days.
Your obliging Letter of the 10h Inst.
reached me as I was just setting out a second time for this
Country, & tho I shall not write to tell you the Nothing I
know of Olenitz yet you will suffer me to do it for the
Purpose of thanking you for the kind Information which
you have been pleased to give me of the State of the
Hard Labour Bill & of the Effects it has produced. — This
I can say to you of Olenitz, or of Russia in general, that as
Houses grow there like Mushrooms, if you will give your Brother
a Months Notice of your Intentioning of making him a Visit,
I will answer for it, that he will build you a Palace at
Olenitz, that shall be ready for your Reception at your
Arrival. — I have been writing to him by this Post a Letter
that may be read at the Four Quarters of the Empire, & therefore
such an one as I should rather they copied at the Post, than otherwise.
My first object in writing was to desire him to explain Matters between
Jer Rashleigh a Cornish Member & Ld Pallas a German Professor of that Hist.y at Petersburg & thought this a good opportunity
of introducing what might be of use on other Topics —
I look forward with Pleasure to the hopes of meeting you frequently
in the Winter & am with great veneration & Regard
Most unfeignedly Yours
R Pole Carew
PS
I shall probably leave this Place soon.
