I contrived that Prince Potemkin should ask me to
give him papers. When I gave him the first, he promised
to let me know the Empress said to it
and contrary to his general custom he kept his word.
He consults me about Marine matters at the Black
Sea, so that I am in hopes that respecting the mines
and the marine I may appear so useful to them as that
they should make me good offers. I shall only surely have
something which if it is not pecuniary will distinguish
me in such a way as to assist me in engaging
with private people.
My prospect of having mines of my own is
no longer on account of some laws which
the Empress has lately made, which render the profits
from that source too
However it is still possible that I may profit in the plan
way of my invention. I must however wait to know
what the Empress has to say to me. Be assured however
I shall not come home, unless it be that you
should induce me to do it in consequence of offers
from my friends.
