From the Col.l to his Father
Bender 17th September O.S. 1790
Hond Sir
I wrote to you from Moscow about
three weeks ago, when I was just setting
out from thence; I arrived here three or
four days ago, but the Prince being on
an Excursion to Ochakoff, Akerman &
other of our new Possessions, & it being
rather difficult to catch him flying
I wait his return here which will
probably be in a few days. not
having seen him, I can tell you
nothing further of my future motions.
We are here with an Army of about
an hundred thousand men doing what
we can to amuse ourselves and I
have the pleasure of meeting with
a number of my Friends & acquaintance
who tho' assembled from different Parts
of the Country are all astonished to
see me return here after so long a
Journey, while they have been in a
State of Comparative tranquillity since
I left them.
