Kritchoff Septr 14. O.S. 1784

Dear Brother

Your Letter, which gave me the News of my Uncle's Death,
I receiv'd a fortnight ago; notwithstanding I am much
occupied, I cannot get the better of my useless Concern;
It makes a break in the plan of satisfaction I had
formed to myself on the prospect of visiting England.

I have within these few days taken upon me such a Trust,
as, with the continuance of my former occupations here,
will keep my Invention in a constant ferment; I have the
direction and putting in order All the Prince's Fabrics
here; the great disorder in which all these Establishments
have been of late, owing to the mismanagement of the Colonel
who had the direction of them, induced me to offer, and the Prince
to accept my Services; the great kindness he has shewn me obliged
me, as it were, to make him the offer, and the satisfaction he
has expressed at my doing so makes me think little of the
trouble I shall have.

I must give you some account of my Commission, were it
only that you might judge how far you could afford me any
assistance.

Besides the directing the Establishments hereinafter mentioned
with a view to increasing as much as possible the profit to the Prince,
I must contrive, as much as can be, to ease the workmen of the
oppression they have, of late, been subject to.
