Petersburg Wednesday March
I am just this instant setting out for Moscow where I shall
find Prince Potemkin. different things detained me here 3 or 4
days after him. By the last post but one I sent you a
letter half of which was intended for Burkitt as I suppose
you saw by the contents although I forgot to tell you
so explicitly. It enclosed a draught on a Banker for
600 rubles of which I now send you the duplicate
in case of any accident with the first, according to
custom. I hope Burkitt will be preparing for his
journey and that he will get here by the end of
May. As to John Clarke I am affraid he would be
troublesome and still more that it would not suit himself
to come out: but surely you might pay me a visit yourself
could I but know it in time I make little doubt but I
might come and see you here and then if you liked it
you could go with me to my station even without
such a notion it is probable that I may return here
with the Prince at the end of May or beginning of June
to receive more fully his orders about what I am to
