on her for not acting now more resolutely in my favour
so that I shall have at any rate the consolation of having
distinguished myself much to my advantage. The highest
compliments imaginable I have received on the occasion.
This is to one of our disposition cannot but have alleviated
much the vexation from the disappointment hitherto.
Sir James's friendship & confidence is very flattering
to me, and I doubt not will be on all accounts
advantageous.
On Monday last I gave in a Letter for the Empress to
her principal Secretary which I dare to say he presented
yesterday. In a few days I may be able to guess at
the event of it. It was an offer on my part to put
into execution the Improvements I proposed in
my Paper of which you have a copy. If she accepts
the offer, and grants me such terms as to make
such an Employment desirable it may take place
as soon as a new Minister is come here to take
the political business out of my hands. In the
meantime I shall be able to settle the conditions
probably more advantageously than if I had not
been in such an employment.
Be of good spirits. I ought to be notwithstanding
my despondency in my love affair. The coals may be
blown up again now.
Although I have received your Pacquet of Letters,
I have not as yet got the Box of Books, I suppose the
Custom House delays them.
N.S. The Letter of 14th the above is a Copy for as reced by Jy B. from his brother
J.B. at Brompton near Chatham on Wed.y the 9th July 1783.
