Sept 1781
I knew not how been as it were ashamed of addressing your
the liberty which I took in writing to you about my machine.
a machine of mine. Full of the success of a an invention which
seemed to be of some importance and which had sent me a good deal of thought.
at the same time that I wished to see it at work I thought should the
use of it became general there was no reason why I wold
not profit by it. I doubted know not whether Exclusive privledges
were granted for the exercise of inventions in this country to the natives or
not still less did I know if the same indulgence was given to foreigners
I wished then much to have this information and could think of
nobody who could give it me but your Excellency. I thought that
you Sir, by asking any of your acquaintance
From the letter I have received from Mr in answer to the one I took
the liberty of writing to your Excellency about a machine of mine and the laws of this country about
exclusive priviledges for the exercise of inventions I Sir you I meant to ask you to me
from your station Sir had I no consideration of the trouble
it would cost I could not think of you concerning
yourself in any such matter. I was however impudent enough
to think of troubling you to inform me whether such a thing
was feasible or not a Question I had much better have put
to my friend Hynam. The best I can say for this impudence is
that it might be owing to my attention being too much occupied by the
success of my invention I hope however to be more carefull in future
how I presume on the kindness which you have on all occasions
shewn me. The carriage I set out next week in this
new vehicle of mine for to be present at the opening of
the new Gaumont there for indeed I have staid some time.
That Ceremony takes place in about a month so that in six weeks
I shall most likely set out to continue by journey to Barnaul
and perhaps to Irkutsk.
