Bender 17 September 1790

Hond Sir

I wrote to you from Moscow about 3 weeks ago,
when I was just setting out from thence. I arrived here 3 or 4
days ago but the Prince being on an Excursion to Ochakoff
Akerman & other of our new Possessions, and it being
rather difficult to catch him flying; I wait his return
here which will probably be in a few days. Not having
seen him, I can tell you nothing farther of my future
motions.

We are here with an Army of about one hundred
thousand Men doing what we can to amuse ourselves,
and I have the pleasure of meeting with a number of
my Friends & acquaintance who tho' assembled from
different parts of the Country, are all astonished to see
me return here after so long a Journey, while they
have been in a State of comparative tranquillity since
I left them. One of my particular Friends Brigadier
Rebanpiere, a Swiss by birth but married into a Russian
Family gave me yesterday some account of the Colonel
de la Fontaine of whom you enquired in one of your last
Letters, and of whom till this day I told you in my last all
my researches had been fruitless.
