April 7th 1784 O.S.
I have just now received your letter III of which the last date is March 9th.
I have not as yet received any letter from Burkitt, but your letter seems
to give me assurances that I shall see Anderson as well as him. Before I
left Petersburgh I sent at 2 different times duplicates of a draught on
Sutherland's house in London for 600 rubles for Burkitt. With respect
to Anderson I have not been able to do the like for him chiefly from
the reasons which I before gave why almost any kind of previous engagement
would be unsuitable to him. I hope however to be able to inform
him by this same packet of a plan that presents itself from which
he may derive some advantage. In the mean time I sit down to
answer this last letter of yours.
As to Messengers it is very improbable
that you will receive any more letters from me through that channel.
It is an opportunity that happens so seldom that when I send my letters
to Petersburgh to be forwarded to you, I should not think of lying there
so long in waiting. Mr Fitzherbert is so exceedingly friendly to me on all
occasions that believe I shall charge him with the forwarding my
letters from me. As to those I receive from England it will be sometimes
one person sometimes another as circumstances require. No matter to you
you may direct to me always the same. But if every you should have
occasion to direct to me straight to any other part of the Country then
you will call me Lieut: Col: dans l' au service de S.M.L'Imp: de les Russes
I will however not fail to use the precautions you require.
Henderson & Desieridee are new names to me but from the manner
in which you mention them I should have been glad you had made
acquaintance with half a dozen more such. I long for this packet of which you
have more than once given me tidings.
Don't think any thing about the expence of such guests, be assured we shall all
