Moscow August 1790

Hond Sir

It is now five weeks that I have been at Moscow, which is
a fortnight more than I have spent in any one place since
I left Cherson, about a year & a half ago. I have made
during that time about 25 thousand Versts, and have
a Couple of thousand more to make to meet with my
Prince.

The Peace made with the Swedes, it is to be expected,
will soon be followed by One with the Turks but These
are Events less interesting to me than you can imagine
as I have no Idea of undertaking any Employment
in any other Part of the Country than Siberia.

As to my Journey to England, how much soever I may
wish it, I can say nothing positive till I see the Prince
I have now taken a view of what may be done; but till
I know what the higher Powers choose I should do, I —
cannot guess how I may be disposed of. In general
however my Situation is very much to my Satisfaction,
and nothing but my attraction to England causes me regret.

It gives me great concern to observe by your last Letter that you
suspect, from length of Time or other cause, my Sentiments of
affection towards you being diminished; permit me Sir to
assure you most sincerely that every Instance of good Fortune I
meet with, increases the Sense of Duty & Affection I owe you, and
particularly renders me more anxious to see you, be it only
