Do have a little more compassion on me and deal
not with me according to my deserts. Uness some letter
has miscarried you must have let pass four months without
giving me a line. How often do I take my seat in idea
by your fire side and give you an account of all I do and
think of. I do this so often sleeping & waking that I never
know what I have written to you. Could I write more and
indulge myself less in such delusions it would I know
be better. but I cannot and the more I think of you
the less able I am to write. Helutius de Chamine
is my constant companion. I read that exceptionable work
over & over again with more glee than ever. 3 weeks I
have been confined within doors here at Catherineberg
in my way to Tebolsk. I regretted this the more as
I had before spent time enough in this place. As
however my health would not permit me to go
out it was well to be in a place where I have
a good house to range in. Ill or well however I
am never melancholy but on account of my absence
from you or from the idea of you & my father not
approving of my present passuits. Let the event
be what it will I am sure you will approve
my conceit when you know are acquainted with
all circumstances which determine me.
I cannot but think that when we meet you will
have all reason to rejoice that we are thus parted>
