Linstead near Sittingbourne
Fryday Oct. 24. 1783

Hon:d Sir

Hopes and Fears have now given place to certainty;
but whether you will think that a certain Lieutenant
Colonelcy is equal to a possible Colonelcy, or a certain
1000 roubles to an expected nay promised 1200 or 1500
is more than I can venture to asure myself: one thing
I can inform you from the best authority, that this
1000 roubles, shabby as it is, is more by 150 roubles
than is given to the Chief Judge of the Principal
Court of Justice in a Province of the first Magnitude
and four times as much as is given to a Captain
in a Regiment. This I speak from the Empress's
Constitutional Code which is lying before me on
the Table. The Rank, such as it is, will at
any rate, I hope, answer his main purposes
as he seems to think it will.
