of care and sometimes to others from intemperance that it is
fatal. At Constantinople this last year it raged with
some fury there for many years which contributed not a
little to induce the Turks to admit the protection of this
Coast and thereby establish the peace. The Crimea now
becomes another new government added to this Empire and
Potemkin will of course be the Gen:Gov: or Viceroy. He has at
present the two adjacent Governments of New Russia and of Asoph.
He is very great & powerfull now from having acquir obtained so great
advantages from the Turks. It was all his doing.
But with respect to your visit. The expence attending your appearing as my
brother would be in cloaths, and that if it is not at Petersburgh would not
be great: but then you could not in that character be occupied so much

a poor dependent relation or if you choose of another family. even tho
you to come to Petersburgh Mr Fitzherbert & Capper who knows you
might be in the secret as I suppose you would wish to see the former

If you do come in propica a you must put on a uniform
