his agents, shod you have concerns with him or them for him, will in
all probability entertain, a more advantageous opinion of you, for tho'

You tell us my dear Sam of a happy Escape, you have reason to think
you have had in not accompanying Baccarti in the Ship expected to
Sail from Lubec; I have been made to Shudder at reading an
Article in several of our Papers, that the Ship with the Houghton Pictures
wch. Pouskin & myself prefe'd you so much to go in, was founderd
at Sea & every Soul & all the Cargo lost. That Article indeed has
been since contradicted; but which is true, I am not certain, & cod
wish to be inform'd on your Arrival at Peters burg. In all events I
am made extremely happy, that you have taken the Route you have
done; and when I hear, as I hope soon to do, that you are got safe
to Peters burg, I shall be perfectly easy about you; for then I shall
consider you as it were at home — from the Number of Recommendations
you take with you thither, & others corroborating them you have pick'd
up by the way.

behalf with the Empress — 5 When you arrive there don't forget my
Tenant Bush, her Majesty's Head Gardener, & let him know I still
continue his name as my t in the Receipts, I give to his
