in your past any symptoms of dissatisfaction
with regard to the terms of it, from
that moment, unless my suspicions
were removed, it would cease to afford
any satisfaction to me.

All this while I must own that glad
as I should be to see you and my
Brother connected together in some such
way, and even in this out of the way
place rather than in none, yet if the
scene could be laid in the neighbourhood
of Cherson, or what might be still better
somewhere in the Crimea in the
neighbourhood of some of the many ports
there appear to be in that peninsula, it
would be much more pleasing to me.
There we should be as it were in the
neighbourhood of Constantinople: a couple
of days sail would be sufficient to waft
us to that delightful spot. Through that
channel we might have frequent and
perhaps regular correspondence with
Europe. The diplomatic body, and the
Merchants of our own and so many
other nations would could hardly fail to afford agreable and
intelligent society. There we should find,

from thence probably we might get,
French Journaux, and English newspapers.
There could be no doubt of his having
at his command a little vessel either at his
own expence or that of the Government, big
enough to go any where in the Black Sea or
even the Mediterranean on occasion. Four
or 5 hands would be sufficient to navigate her.

One great convenience of the Russian plan
for a large family like yours seems to be that
being extendible at pleasure, if it would
afford an eligible provision for any one
member it would for all.

The idea notion of its appearing to be your
own idea that my Brother should be concerned
with you, and not his, seems to
be a just one. Such a demand on your
part could not but encrease the confidence
entertained in him by Ribanpeier, and to render
it greater than possibly it might be, if it
appeared that the engagement were of my
Brothers seeking.

Were you disposed to engage in this
plan and were the credit on the Banker
arrived it would not be advisable I think
to take any definitive step in it till
we had heard had another letter from my Brother again
by which we should know more of his motions
and destination, and in particular
whether he had got any establishment at
Cherson or in the Crimea.
