charming disposition, and a beauty for this country. The son
is not allow'd above a thousand roubles a year except
for travelling and other such extraordinary expenses: but
at the father's death he is to have 4,000 boors. A boor
yields one with another about a pound sterling a year
or scarcely so much; so little do they know or so little pain
do they take to turn their labour to better account. In this
manner 5 of the 6,000 boors are to be disposed of: what
becomes of the 6th I know not: I know probably to the
Mother at least for her life and perhaps then to the
daughters. The fellow will therefore be one day or other
rich, and if he pleases powerful.
Notwithstanding he is or was Captain of a 64
Gunship and has the order of merit the pay he receives
is but three hundred roubles.
