The Bearer of this Captain Pustoshkin
is a Captain Lieutenant in the fleet
which gives the rank of Major in the army. He is sent from
hence by Mardrinoff to take possession of and continue the
works in the Rope fabrick which somehow or other the Prince
after having sold as you know has made a present of to
the Admiralty here. I have given him powers to
stop the plein pouvoir given to J.P. and though I cannot
require of him to take any very troublesome part in my
affairs: yet everything relating to the dispatching my
effects I make no doubt he will arrange according
to your desire or to such instructions as I give him.
What I am most disposed to do at present is to take
away all my private effects and then as I am pretty
well clear of all the English workmen to give up
the leather fabric and all stock of tools & materials
relating to any of my former concerns to the Prince's
steward that he may dispose of them as he thinks proper.
but I shall wait for an answer to this from you or some
account from Mr Pustoshkin in case he does not find you.
