I had left this space vacant, for the purpose of attempting something
in the way of a drawing, but I can make nothing of it.
junction of the two links; so, for the same reason, is there between the dining-room
link, and the link which contains the drawing or dressing-room and bed-chambers.
A little short of the extremity of the first link stands a half-octagon
platform about 4 1/2 above the rowers seats: on this my Brother stands
to give orders with a speaking trumpet, of which you may imagine there is some need,
as the length of the whole barge is above 1/4 as long again as that of your
garden. A semi-circular rail cover'd with scarlet cloth and standing on
three pillars rising from the platform serves for his support. Fronting this platform, at the other
end of the barge, is a platform somewhat similar for the same purpose.
The 3d, 4th, & 5th link being left out, the 1st 2d & 6th form a purely-rowing-boat:
in that case her Majesty may seat herself on a sopha towards
the stern formed of a neat kind of platted work, of red edged with chocolat colour ( the
colours of Wedgwood's ware) with cushions of stuffed leather
I wish you may be able to make any thing of this general description:
for drawing, I have neither skill nor instruments. It cost my brother three
days hard labour to make a representation of it in paper, something between
a model and a drawing, to give the Prince some idea of it, when he follow'd
him in the winter to Cherson and the Crim, as mentioned in a former letter. This
drawing
