Moscow 18 March 1785

I have met here a Dr Brown Physician from Carmarthen
South Wales, from whom in the Course of an Intimacy which I
have contracted with him, I have heard of a Man who wishes
to come to this Country, and to be employed in some one of
the several ways in which I could employ him at Critchoff
I understand a Salary of £20 a year with Board & Lodging would
content him; but it is necessary to advance him £25 to rig him
out, and Ship him off; his name is George Benson, an
Irishman but many years in Wales. Dr Brown has a wife
and family at Carmarthen, and has written to her to send
off this same Benson with leave to draw on you for any
sum not exceeding £25. If he comes by way of London you
will see him, and may then give him what money within
that sum there may be occasion for, but I have given him
to understand that he will not have more than That till his arrival
in Russia, that is, at Riga, where I shall provide him with further
Credit and means of continuing his Journey.

I have spent a week here, but am this moment setting
off in my return, and as Dr Brown is not yet come into Business
here, and some general medical Directions are very much
wanted at Critchoff, I have prevail'd on him to pass a fortnight
with me

I hope to find Notman returned already, or at least some news
from him.
