Could you resolve to come and spend six months with me, and you
would make a new man of me, you would enable me to turn to
account my ideas of import which at present lay perfectly useless. You who
so well spun out and displayed a few improvements in the details of the
practice of constructing of Ships would h now have much richer
materials to work on. But how could you, who can scarcely bear
the motion of a coach, make such a Voyage by Sea? once landed
at Petersburgh I would endeavour to make you comfortable in
the journey you would most likely have to make in the country.
Whether I shall reside at Cherson, or whether I shall have to shift
about wherever there may be anything going forward in Potemkins
Governments in which where he may see or I may see that I can
be of use, I cannot tell as yet. he certainly will get me to
his estate on the borders of Poland to give directions for
the creating some machines there, though he has not yet told me so.
But be it when it will, tell me the time you will be at Riga
or Petersburg and I will meet you there to conduct you wherever
my fate destines me. As soon as you are in the country all
expence of living & travelling is mine, and I think you wont
find it troublesome.
