Archines of Linen for Common Shirts, for all mine are
wore out with riding thro', the Woods, three pounds of Tea

under English Colours, and if we are buy for me Blue
Cloth Buttons and trimmings for a frock; 7 Archines and
a half of Black jane for Breeches, and white jane for
two Waistcoats; as I have no Cloathes but Uniforms which
know wont do to wear in any part of China or India,
if you can get a Good Sheep skin Tube fit for covering

Road, buy Likewise a Sadle and Bridle as you have
a thousand Verst to ride, fo and probably may not be
able to get one in Yakutsky, there is but 3 posts
for 7 hundred Verst so be sure not to forget
plenty of provisions at Least Sufficient for two
Months, I can give you but a poor account of
Orkostky as I lived there but a short time, it is
about as big as Berezov but not half so well
built, Desolation harbour or the River
