Kiev The 13th of August
1786
To Both
There is money but 450 Roubles only, Tis all
I have at present in my possession.
The death of the poor horse I bemoan,
It was the best beast since 's time
that ever was shod.
The Port wine I received and give you
my best thanks for it. There were but
60 bottles only. To Your Shame be it told
that you Send things without cognizement
the least would have done and the
wine had come safe but on Contrary
I was happy to take what was given
not knowing how much there should
be —
Green Caps you shall not get because
there is no green leather here, nor is
it possible to get any from Poland.
The Same with poins — the Same
with horses. —
