Critchoff July 30/19- 1786
Hond Sir,
Last fryday, July 26/15, we were favour'd with your
Letter of June 19/8., which is all we can say to it, unless we
were to say a great deal more than there is Room for here.
The Originals, of which you sent the Copies, came at
the same time. No Letter yet from D.r Brown.
many thanks for the Parliamentary Intelligence;
The News. Papers have failed us for the last three
weeks, (i.e three Posts) but I hope they will come
at last. It is owing to the Governor of Riga's
dilatoriness.
The affair which gave rise to the Renconter,
related in the succeeding Letter by one of the Actors,
is a long story, of which I have neither time
nor Room to give more than a short abridgment.
Count Mellin is a Livonian Nobleman about
three or four years older than my Brother. He
commanded, and for ought we know, still Commands
an Independant Battallion, like that of my Brother's,
but which is now upon the point of being reduced
upon Prince Dashkoff's getting a Regiment given him
as a sort of reward for the Intelligence he had brought
