Cloaths
I see no business you have at Petersbourg
at any rate none to frequent the
Court & Societies there. Two suits
for the season you will be with me
is all you would want besides frocks,
and they may be very plain.
If you are with me when the Prince
comes again and you should accompany
him that would make no difference
to dress. Two suits would be quite enough
for the great holidays, and at
all other times you may dress as
for dinner at Q.S.P.
A Suit of Silk for Summer
of Shatteen
for Winter and one of
cloth which could serve both would
be a sufficient for all seasons.
Black breeches would serve for all.
You might have 2 or 3 frocks
for each of the two seasons.
No with waistcoats but neat
rattan ones for winter and white
or coloured cotton or linnen
waistcoat & breeches for Summer.
This would be a complete reputable
in-Petersbourg Wardrobe.

Wines &c
The Wines drank at Cherson are
for the most part from the Crim
or from the Greek Islands.
A Senidor wine has much the
taste and colour of Red port.
Sudac wine is a white dry wine from
the Crim as good for the table as
can be desired.
There is a sort of wine from the
Don which has much the taste
and I think as good as Burgundy.
The Prince prefers this wine of
the Don & that of Sudac to
all wines whatever.
But we have wines from all countries
at all great dinners. Hungary wine
is given and no healths can be
drank without Champaigne, therefore
at the same time the abovementioned
wines are preferred for their taste.
The dearness alone of the latter keeps
up thur the a use of them.
English beer also is much
prized. Hydromel is also
much used for common drinks.
But the Kislistchee is the best
summer drink possible.
