Ladobras near Crichoff July 24/13. 1787
Hond Sir
Since our last Post Day I reced from my Brother 2000 Rubles —
accompanied with a Short Letter datd Kremendchuck July 15/5. The Prince was
just then come on board the Vermicular in order to fall down the River Duieper
a second time in his way to Cherson where my Brother was also to attend
him a Second time. But now with regard to the sending of the Money
to England, as soon as the Remainder can be collected in of which my
Brother was in hourly expectation, a difficulty occurs wch
your decision, I give you his representation of which is all I know of
the matter; in the last winter the Exchange was such that a Pound
Sterling might be had for 5 Rubles now it cod not be had under
6 — this you see makes 20 £st difference, he speaks of the deficiencies
as periodical, the 6 is without doubt greatly more against Russia than
the par or Medium rate but how much I have no means of knowing
In the mean time this is the Plan I shall recommend to my Brother
to pursue. In 3 weeks from the date of his Letter he says he is to be
here by appointment to settle some matters with the Prince's Steward,
and he means to ask leave to go immediately from hence to Petersburg then will be
the time for him to take the money thither & after consulting with
Mr Shairp there about the time for remittance, to lodge the money with
him giving you advice of his so doing through that Channel, if the
result of that Consultation shod be in favour of an immediate remittance
