J.B.Septr 1t OS 1781
Code (I must call it so for shortness) How much I have wished it were possible
to have received it at Perme at the opening the new Government. Whenever it
does come it will find however as good a channel as possible. How comes
it that nothing is said of it in your last? I expected it according to
your former letters to be at Petersbourg in July. Ld
As to Ld Shels views and plot upon you. Is not his desire that you
to have your advice on the plans of Legislation he has to shew you sufficient
to account for his importunity. I should be hoping that at this instant
you were laying your heads together were it not for the other prospects
which you delight me so much by the kind of confidence with which you
tell me they promise much better,
Honey costs here from 10 to 20 copeaks the pound and Sugar 70. Might not
one make sugar from honey so as to take away entirely the peculiar flavour
of the latter and give it the colour and texture of the former?
Is there no drawing published or could you not procure me a description of the
last improved Steam Engine. Bolton or Birmingham I think is the improver.
Nairne certainly would give it. You may but judge whether you would choose to
ask him. The improvement I think consists in condencing the steam in an
apart reservoir and not cooling the piston or principal Cylinder. Also in one
or more little airpumps which extract that part of the vapour which is not con=
