There is a new Vizir who was formerly in his Service
I am anxious to hear of your having finished your journey
and found your Brother in perfect health: pray make
my Compliments exceptable him: Assure him of the
great pleasure it would give me to See him, and that
I shall not go thro' that part of the Cuntry without waiting
on him. Thus far by an amanuensis. Pray tell
your brother. At Venice an immense quantity of Glass beads of all
kinds are made & other cheap glass manufacturing, which
are sent to the East Indies by the way of Aleppo, Egypt &c:
they go great quantities go to Persia & thence to Bohara
Tartary &c. a great quantity goes to Petersburg. This would be
a matter of great consequence. I can procure him people
at a very cheap rate who can establish him these fabrics
if he will tell the Prince of it & let him lay his commands
on me. I believe a Russian minister could not get these
people so well as I could. besides I know some & have been
applied to. More with very . In a
day or two I shall know which way I go for I shall
have an answer from St. Petersburg.

We have had strange weather winter & hard winter & summer
in the same week: lately I have heard little of the plague
but since you went we have had some weeks a good deal.

Believe me with the greatest esteem & affection
Dr Sir. Y. M. O. h. Servt.
