In the morning after I had sent the soldier to Petersbourg
with my Podaroquis the people of the post house thought better
of it and offered to give me what horses I pleased. It was then
however too late to profit by their change of disposition as I
had already sent to trouble you, however I thought I might as
well myself the next stage to Shessulberg where something
to be seen leaving my man behind to war and
one to wait for the other from Petersberg. I saw
the linen painting fabrique there belonging to Mr Liman and though he
himself was not at home I yet comfortably housed there
with his family. In the evening came the Packet you were so
kind as to send me containing a letter from Mr Carew another
from Pleschijef an packet for me from England and my two
2 new Podaroquis. I did not expect to have received them
so soon and could not help being very much vexed at
the necessity I had been put of troubling you on that
occasion. In the morning I saw the fortress, model of
the Canal. It is 104 versts in length and is navigable
in the shallowest places for Vessels drawing 6 feet
water. I dined at the Brigadiers the Commander of the Town
His daughter was just married a day or two before to Passtiloff
There was also a Mr Kitisin of the guards with his new
wife as charming pretty a woman as it is likely I shall see
in my journey.
