to Stop a night in his way from his Estate at Viasma
to Krementchuch, where, they say, he is to
Command under Hekin. The Intelligence changed
for the present, the Trip to the Pole's into a Trip
to Critchoff, whither my Brother repaired—
forthwith, leaving me here to write you a Line,
upon the presumption that Soltikoff may be the
bearer of it the greatest part of the way if not
