I enjoy from the being in the army (over and above that of the degree | |||

where my occupations will lead me from time to time, not however so much on
that account as I shall have little to do with military concerns. The advantage
I enjoy from the being in the army (over and above that of the degree
of consideration which it procures me,) is the being dependent on Prince
Potemkin alone. It is now about 3 months since we set out from
Petersburg of which the last fortnight has been spent in this most charming
peninsula which is lately annexed to the Russian Empire.
As the Prince has taken me for some time past always in the same carriage
with him, you may be sure the journey has been higly agreable. I believe
he will leave me by the way on his return to Petersburg at a great
estate of his in the Province of little White Russia where I shall have some
shipbuilding business which will be my chief occupation till next Spring
In concluding this letter permit me, Dear Sir, to remind you once more
how happy I should be to receive a few lines from your hand, and how
rejoiced I should be to learn of your health being res reestablished. above
all be assured that I shall ever remain your dutifull and
affectionate Nephew
