My good friend Mr Sambouski begs me to intreat you to
send the inclosed by some safe hand. There are few men
whom I esteem more than this same Sambouski, and the
degree of respect he meets with here is exceedingly great.
Pleschyiff & he were both with the grand Duke on his travels
and of course are come back. I certainly have as many
and as firm friends as come to the share of one man.
A propos of friends. You or my father have heard something
to the prejudice of my theatrical friend. It provided partly
from some money concerns in which some people have
the sole causes of what appeared a want of probity in
and partly from his professing, and associating with some
who profess'd no great respect for religious concerns.
Notwithstanding these circumstances his probity and moral
character is more interesting than his mechanical abilities.
"Projet d'un corps de droit" How I rejoice that it is nearly
finished! but cant the word Projet be changed for one less obnoxious
I who am more prudent - have entirely blotted out that
word from my dictionary.
You will pay double I suppose for this letter but I cant help it.
