St Petersburg 26 Sept:r 1783 O.S.
Hond Sir
It gave me the greatest pleasure to hear through my
brother that Sir James Harris's Letter to you had
given you much Satisfaction and that I might expect
to hear from you myself as well as that you had
written an answer to Sir James; I have not
however as yet been happy enough, Sir, to receive
any Letter from you since that time, neither
did any Letter of yours come to Sir James's
hands before he left this place; He did not,
'tis true, expect any answer, but as I understood
from my Brother, that you had written one I
think it proper you shod know, Sir, that none
was received.
As I am now fixed in the Empress's service, it
has been necessary for the preserving the fairness
of Character which I have hitherto born that I
should settle my money concerns immediately,
This, Sir I have no possibility of doing to my
honour but through your means.
Hitherto imagining that you coud not approve
of the Sum I have expended, I never coud bear
to ask you, Sir, to defray it, till I was in a
situation in which I was so far provided for, as
to be able to promise to make no further application
