imagine he would not wish for an apprentice
that would be likely to set up
for himself and rival him in his business.
I should think too that were
he disposed to take apprentices, a person
so well known as he, and whose
connections are so extensive must have
been always fully provided.
As to the plating manufactory, I
have nothing to say to you worth the
reading. Is not the whole of their study
confined to the making the plated
work look as much like what is
made in solid silver as possible?
Well but now for some news.
Last Sunday came a pretty long
letter from my Brother. By far
the greatest part is occupied with
a project in which you are a party
principally concerned: the whole of this
I will send you either the original
of or a copy: the rest is taken up
wholly in commissions and dissertations
relative to cloaths for myself & him
From the date you will observe it was
impossible it should contain an answer
to our plan of a perambulation employment
for you. His last date is
April 9/20: and my packet did not leave
London

London till the 17th of that same month
I will now beg leave to send you to his
letter: what follows proceeds upon the
supposition of your having read it.
---page break---
The place you see is an out of the
way kind of place: however its situation
on the Dnieper gives it a certain though
slow communication with the Black Sea,
as its' vicinity to the Divina does with
the Baltic. Beside as the country is,
a temporary an establishment there on the terms in question is not to be looked
upon as similar to a place of colonization
in America. On the latter place
you have no fixed capital ready formed,
no moveable capital but what you
bring with you, no labour at command
but your own, and for some
time your very subsistence is precarious
and to seek. In that proposed you
have a fixed p capital (such as dwelling-houses,
barns, storehouses, wells &c) ready
provided, labour such as it is without stint, and subsistence
assured. The terms as far
as I can judge seem to be highly
liberal. I should hope Ribanpier
is a man to be depended upon: you
have already seen some proof of my
brother's wariness in that respect, and I
have seen many more. The climate
