F The french Timber bending for Arches
is insignificant whip syllabel stuff.
Air balloons I am tired of hearing of
but the imprint on Kaintichan may be usefull.
Essai sur le Commerce du Russie
It is good for nothing any more than
Guildenstadt's which you wished to have
but which I believe I declined sending.
Your new Prisumm Mobile I think
may be made usefull, but in another manner.
Microscope I wanted to give to
Shlangan at Barnaoul in consideration
of what he has given and what in
for future he may give me in
the way of Nat. Hist.
Table & Kitchen Furniture I can
say nothing about till I know for
certain where & in what manner I
am to keep house for myself. While
I am at the Prince's estates it is probable
I may have a Table &c at
his expence.
I desired you to bring me a pair of
Gilt spurs but I fear the gilding
will soon wear off better to be of
yellow gold-like-looking metal.
Fire Arms none wil would be wanted particularly
for any of the excursions which you
mention, because whenever it is worth while to
go where there is danger; there would be always Convoy.
Yet as there are circumstances in which
it is very expedient to have pistols, and as
they wont always have their price here, if you
have money to spare you might pick up second
hand a brace of for the pocket, another for the
Saddle & even a third between these two sizes.
If also the Guns you speak of bored in a new
way have really so great an advantage over others
It would be good to buy one.
Portable Furnace. I should not much
want if I have anybody who is acquainted
with the Construction of Furnaces in general
and even otherwise I have no immediate
use for one. There is however no
difficulty in having glass vessels for
the prince has a glass house of his own
at Krectchoff.
Tools Let me have none as to all
others I shall have a good provision
from England through another channel
without plaguing you.
Model of a Windmill a Steam
Engine and of any Machine applicable
to this country there would be no
danger in being at the expence of,
but I don't know that I can send
you money for these things yet.
Oil skin great Coat for yourself one
only made large enough for either of us
Slitting Mill I want nothing of at
present at least not immediately.
