J.B.; Visit.

I am now in a situation to turn to the best account any idea of
improvement applicable to this country. Anything of the Scientific
kind which the Empress would be likely to approve of, Princess Dashkoff
would be happy to present to her. Anything which relating
to any particular department the Princess would not think proper
to meddle in, the favorite who is very powerfull and seemingly much
disposed to be my friend would I am persuaded to be ready to promote.
Now then how happy I should be to have you with me. How many
things we might dress up together that would make a figure,
and the making a figure seems all that is sought after here.
Usefull things are certainly adopted sometimes, when they could not
be splendid without being usefull.

I for my part can neither fix
upon anything nor execute it to my satisfaction where it depends
on is a litterary production: the models of necessary to give an idea
of 2 or 3 of my inventions is as much as I can be able to manage
by myself. I could certainly furnish ideas for 1/2 a dozen people,
to work on independent of my mechanical inventions.

I have now got comfortable lodgings where you would not be
exposed to shiver with cold & blister your legs as in your chambers
and where you would be delivered from the agonies of rising in
a morning from a cold warm bed to a cold room.

With respect to comforts you should have many. besides what I hope we
should enjoy from each other's company, there are 2 or 3 of my friends from
whom you would receive the greatest satisfaction and now & then for a treat
we would go & drink tea with my female friend Made <unclear>Scherbusin in her own apartments.
She is certainly far superior to any of her sex among our acquaintance
in England. You need not appear in propria "persona"</unclear>, She, the prince her brother,
Pleschijeff,, Hynam and if you please Fitzherbert & Capper must be in the secret, all the world besides
