You ask some account of the Sobecednick. The 10th volume is just
now printed it is in 8vo in small 8vo It began in May last.
each volume contains about 12 sheets.
As to a book of the Custom house duties in this Country,
you may by enquiry among the Russian Merchants in London
learn where it is to be procured in English. I think it is
published by Spilsbury.
Czarawitch Clore the Empress's sales of which you asked
are not to be had in french.
The answers to these questions of which I sent you what you
call a very bad translation were written by the Empress
I thought I had told you so. The stile was so indifferent
in Russ that it would have been difficult to make the
translation tollerable.
I think I write worse and worse I dont mean the hand alone but the
Stile also. I am really afraid you will scarcely understand
some parts of this letter.
I send you the Eloge of the famous Euler, and a Petersburgh Court Calendar
I send you a copy of a letter written by Sir Robert Walpole
to the late king. I had it from Pleschijeff who got it
when he was in England.
I send you likewise a magnificent
Chart of Moldavia Walnekia &c.
I send you also a chart of the Empire in which the acquisitions
made to it in each reign since Peter the great inclusive are distinguished
by different coloured inks. It in takes in the late discoveries by
Kamschatka. I must write a few lines to Miss Harris which you will forward
although it is 1 o'clock in the morning & the Carrier's horses are ready.
