I shall be very glad of the publication you speak of about sluices.
The Empress has just ordered all the dams on the upper part of
the dnieper and on some other rivers communicating to it to be
cleared away this year that the ri navigation from their
very sources may be clear by next Spring. I may afterwards
have occasion to shew as I now think thadt dams in some parts
fitted with proper sluices besides being usefull as affording primary
mobility would facilitate the navigation.
I should even rejoice at the badness of your eyes if that should have
determined you to come immediately at the finishing your executorship
business to me here rather than to take spend your time in
Scotland as you seemed disposed. As you must have received
my further proposals to Anderson I make sure that he is
at least preparing to come, what you tell me of the state
of his affairs must make a Salary of 1200 rubles ie £200 more
material than I before thought it.
Sutherland says he sent you the credit for the 3000
rubles immediately this but I doubt his exactness. He told Notman so whom I had commissioned to ask about it. for Sutherland never thought it necessary
to answer my letter The
told told me that the 500 was not sent so soon as he wished but
that however you must long have received it.
My present employment affords exercise enough for ingenuity of
all kinds. Any of our frien You may be sure I should glad of any
assistance of any kind for any of these establishments, and may be able
