Lieutenant in one of my Batallions, he kept a
Journal of our Tour in English, you shall one day
or other have a Copy of it. This Englishman is son
of a Gentleman of Property in Newcastle; he served
at the Taking of Ockakoff, and then, at his desire,
was sent to me by Prince Potemkin, he arrived
just in Time to accompany me to the Kirgese,
and, as I have various Propositions to make
to the Prince, I am preparing to dispatch this
Mr Newton express to Petersburg.
I am at present at Tobolsk, in the month
of June I was here in my way to my Batallion,
and I then dispatched the Englishman I had brought
with me from Cherson to examine the mouth of the
River Ob and a small part of the Coast of the
White Sea, with a view of attempting a Communication
with Archangel; there is no doubt of this
Passage being at certain times, practicable, but
the object is the ascertaining the degree of danger
& delay occasioned by the Drifts of Ice which even in
Summer by certain winds are brought upon the Coast,
so as entirely to interrupt
