the pleasantest Spot in the Estate, about 4 Versts from
Critchoff: It is an Island of about 15 Versts in
circumference, formed for the most part by the
Sauge, the navigable River which joyning the
Dnieper empties itself in the Black Sea; the
Land however I do not expect any advantage
from, except the furnishing Hay for Horses
of which I must keep a great number.

My business in coming here was to change into
Ducats 19,000 Rubles, which I had just received
all in silver money, These Ducats I send into
another Part of the Empire to Change again for
Rubles, by which I am sure to gain 5 or 6, and
perhaps as far as 10 pCent in the Course of a month
or Six weeks.

I have at the same time formed a Connection &
friendship with a Mr. Trompowsky, of the House
of Pearson Huhn Trompowsky & Wale, of whom
the first, & last Partners live in England. This is
the most capital House here, and the behaviour
and Character of this Gentleman is so different from
that of Mr. Hey that I am determined to have nothing
more to do with the latter.

What ever I may have sent me, therefore, in future
from England should be directed to the care of
Mr Christian Trompowsky — His House, Carriage, &
Servants, are, as it were, mine, and I have no other
Lodging while I stay; He is of Polish Extraction, —
though in all appearance an Englishman.
