Cherson 15th Novr. 1787
I wrote a short letter to James Notman about a fortnight
ago by Ivan whom I discharged at his own request,
impatient as he said he was to return to his wife.
He was scarcely content when I paid him about 20 rubles
more than his due. I did not write to you by that conveyance
because 1er I had no reason to believe but what you was set
out on your return, and 2de. I did not believe the conveyance
to be sure & 3dy you will have it that laziness had its
influence. Although I spend much time in making my
lamentations for the plagues you have had & still have
with my affairs yet I will not lose more time in
writing them. The best news I have to tell you is
that I have received a letter from a Secretary at
Mohilew informing me that the payment of my
Salary of 1000 rubles a year is transferred from Petersbourg
to Mohilew treasury where I may receive my
arrears at any time by sending a person authorized from
me. After the 1er January next the amount will be 4,000. Ro
The Bearer of this is furnished with an apart letter of power
