I have had a great project for combining in one
Expedition the effecting the navigation of the Amur
a Trade with Japan, and a commercial intercourse
between the Coast of America near Kamchatka and
Canton. Sometimes my idea is only to be instrumental
in the forming such an Expedition at other times I
have an irrisistable itching to have the Conducting
it. This however after I have tried my Shipbuilding
Experiments and am better established in the Country
and perhaps a little more out of humour with the
world, or impatient of a finishing stroke to Riches
and reputation. To confess the truth it was with
a view to this that I decided Cook's Voyage,
which otherwise would not have been so very
interesting. Such an Assistant as you report
Skinner to be for such a project wuld no doubt be
desireable: at an but besides as you seem to have
taken an affection for him I cannot but recommend
his coming were it only as a Volunteer or Visitor
