a long Letter to the Colonel in which I have given some Hints about
the Distillery & have explained my Sentiments pretty fully upon the Hoggery
and how far the Method observed at Bromly can be adapted
to the Severity of a Russian Winter. According to the Promise which
I made to you I have also breifly mentioned what Terms would be
likely to tempt me to join the Colony, but without the least Idea that
they will or can be offer'd to me. — I have been revolving different
Plans of Commerce in my Mind, which perhaps might be productive
of Advantage could a permanent assurance & full Encouragement be
given, but that is the only Thing which seems wanting, were it
possible to make Prince Potemkin a little more attentive he would see
his Interest in giving every assistance to the Plans of your Son, all
of which ultimately tend to the Benefit of the Estate & to the rendering
the Lot of the Peasants much more happy than it is at present.
I beg my respectful Compliments to Mrs. Bentham & to the
Gentlemen with whom I had the Pleasure to dine at your House and
I remain with great Esteem Dear Sir
your most obedient
& most humble Servant
Chas. Brown
