Saturday Dec: 18th Answer to IB's Letter
The Prussian Minister certainly would be the best means of
introducing your Code to the King but in case you had no
better, it might be done by the means of my friend the
Margrave of Schidt first cousin to the King from whom I
have received so much honour and expression of friendship, and
especially as he desired me to write to him as soon as I
was arrived at Petersburg. I have not yet found time to
give you an account of my reception & detention at his
Court: but I will sometime or other.
Continue to direct your letters here although I shall not
stay more than a fortnight if I dont succede. that time
I shall stay at any rate. Letters must pass through here
the expenc wont be severe and nor any great delay.
