to convince you that I am happy. It is a month ago, I received here
your Letter of the 20th of April, and the reason of my not answering it before
is that I have been every day setting out to continue my Journey to the
Prince, from whence I was in hopes of asuring you that I should soon
pay you a visit, and altho' I now shall certainly quit this place in a
few days I can no longer bear my own reproaches for having so
long neglected writing to you.
With respect to the Account of my Excursion among the Kirgise
I can only tell you that at the time of my acquainting you of it, I
gave the Account to Capt Newton, who, I think, was to have sent
you from Petersburg a Copy of it; how he came not to have sent it
I cannot learn till I see him.
With respect to the Surgeon, of whom I wrote from Cherson, that
Part of the Country is so different from Siberia, in healthyness,
that in the latter a Man in the medical Line can expect little
or nothing from private Practise. To One of a Philosophical
Turn or Lover of natural History, who wod like to rove about
I might procure Employment as a Surgeon, & a Sufficiency
in point of Salary for his passing his time agreebly; if he
were a Man of Genius & extraordinary Talents there are
various ways in which he might enrich, as well as distinguish,
himself; but I can offer nothing certain to induce a Man
to quit an employment in his own Country
Augt 20. My Serjeant, whom I sent this morning to Dickenson's
the English Banker here for Letters, has just this instant brought
me one from you dated July 9th, and by the Cover I see it has
passed thro' the hands of Shairpe at Petersburg. I am much
obliged to you, Sir, for the trouble you gave yourself to write
me the Extract from the London Gazette relative to Major —
Lambro's Defeats tho' I had learn'd it from the German Newspapers
a month before. hitherto according to the news-paper Accounts
he had been astonishingly successful, and I hope that other Persons
concerned having had it more in their power have taken Care to
