Sir
Yesterday I received the Cloves seed, for which I received payment.
I don't know how you will like your Kibitke, but it appears to me to be a very good
one. Mr Kakousky behaves exceeding well to us hitherto, i endeavour to give
him all the satisfaction I can. I have drawn a plan of a pinery for him, and a
Peach house, and also altered the plan of a peach house, that was almost finished
before I arrived here. I am now engaged with drawing a plan of of an Orchard
which he intends inclosing with a Brick wall all around; it a sqare field about
240 Sargines in length, and as much in breadth, another plan I have to draw
which is partly round his house, a kind of plasure ground, which I believe will
complete my Month, at which time I intend, if sledgeroads be set out for
Petersburgh, if not sledgeroads I must wait untill the come.— you mentioned
in your letter of forcing another 25 my way, which I will be very glad if it is in
your power — Mr Kakousky says he will have nothing for his Kabitka I told
him he might have what instruments he pleased to its value, he did not say
he would, nor would not, so I fancy it is left entirely to yourself. I would have
rote something more but the horses was put to the Kabitka before I knew any
thing of it. — I am Sir Your humble Servt John Aiton
Sent the 25 . not 27 Oct by return of Messenger
