Critchoff: It is an Island of about 15 Versts in

Sauge, the navigable River which joyning the
Dnieper empties itself in the Black Sea; the
Land however I do not expect any advantage
from, except the furnishing Hay for Horses
of which I must keep a great number.
My business in coming here was to change into

the most capital House here, and the behaviour
and Character of this Gentleman is so different from
that of Mr. Hey that I am determined to have nothing
more to do with the latter.

Mr Christian Trompowsky — His House, Carriage, &
Servants, are, as it were, mine, and I have no other
