For all this money will be wanting, horses must be brought,
hides for the leather fabrick & Iron for the works. I know
not what success I shall meet with but the I send by this
opportunity a pressing letter to Popoff to induce him to
pay the bearer what the Prince owes me, if he refuses
it I shall make one more attempt on the Prince and
then ask leave of absence or dismission whether it be
war or peace, and try my fortune at Petersburgh.
As I shall probably have to give up my battalion therefore
I do not know how I can have any men at Critchoff
unless it be four as domesticks or servants and three more
with an under officer for the present at least under
pretence of guarding my things which from the circumstance
of my detension I could not at present transport.
at any rate I hope all the Potatoes will be dug up
and the most necessary work done before this reaches
you. Could a vessel of some kind be procured it would
certainly be well to send potatoes to Chremenchuck as also
everything superfluous: but as there is little chance of that
if Leather fabrick continues then all the potatoes which can
not be sold at a good price in the winter should be planted
