Brompton Nov.r 1. 1782.
Hon.d Sir
Many thanks to you for your account of that "immensely
"distant place Kiachta": whereupon, be pleased to take notice
that I have now lying before me a letter dated half of it from
that same Kiachta, and the other half from Irkutsk: the former
Feb: 16/27, the latter April 15/26. I have had it by me a week or more,
but on account of its staleness scarcely thought it worth writing about
on purpose. It is short, & was written only for the purpose of announcing
some good things he had been sending for us from that same
Russo-Chinese town, from which or at least from the government
in which it is situated, the Thamchatka trade is also carried
on. Teas of various sorts, silks, indian inks, minerals, and above
all some delicious rhubarb for you, enough to make ones mouth water
but to think of. All serv'd up in raw hides: but God knows when
if ever, we shall set eyes on it. As to the letter I shall not send
it by this conveyance, partly because I have nier a frank to Q.S.P.
partly because I don't care to let it run any unnecessary risks, & partly
because it will not be long before I shall hope for the pleasure of
delivering it to you in person. I imagine in about a fortnight: if I
outstay
