offers itself. I can but say that his abilities
are well known here, offers are already
made, nothing but his own neglect and
carelessness can stop his carreer.
The Empress is now return'd from her
journey, and the man in power, of whom I
Spoak, instead of going to Cherson, as your
brother expected, was nominated to conduct
the Emperor of Germany from Maguiloff to
Moscow and from thence to this place.
The Empress is much pleased with her
noble guest, who in return, regards her
as an object of his most earnest admiration,
and both profess an unfeigned affection
for each other; He is a plain man
with a good natural sence, eager after
knowledge and has a stock of it greater
than Sovereigns possess in general, amongst
us, he is generous tho' sparing at home.
Their Imperial Highnesses admire much
his character and at the example of the
Empress are assiduous to shew him all their
cordiality and attention: He is to leave us
