the Trade from here to the Islands, is at present
but very poor an carryed on by so many different
Merchants, that the profits are very small, and I wou'd
prefer the Batavia Trade, either to China or the Islands
as it is a free port, I hope Sr: you won't forget to send
me the things I wrote to Dick about, and I beg of you
to send me Orders about the Vessel of 60 foot Keell,
as I must remove one half of the Command to the
Okhota, to Cut Wood in the Spring, if you mean to
build so Large a Vessel, as this is the Last post that
Leaves Okhostky this Winter, makes me so particular,
and I hope you won't take amiss my offering to advise
you, in what manner to send things here, be sure
Order every thing to be packed in bundles not Exceeding
2 poud and a half. Covered with good Soal Leather.
so as to be water tight, Soal Leather is better than
Green Hides, though the first Cost is a Little more
as Green Hides are thrown away here, and we are
forced to buy tanned Leather at an Advanced Price.
for the Command, be sure Obtain from the G,l.
Governor a paterosny for as many horses as you
want allowing 15 poud for each pod Wod, as a
Paterosny from him Counts for 3 Horses in
Yakutsky, dont depend on Mr: Shellenkoff
nor believe a Word that he says, for he
bears here an infamous Character
