I now then enter into the army as Lieutenant Colonel
with promises of speedy promotion and my salary raised
to 2,400 rubles. That is I am to expect this
tomorrow and tomorrow & tomorrow in short 3 a Crapa.
What my Employment is to be, I cannot yet tell. One
day he talks of my directing the making a new Port
and Dock Yard below the bar near Cherson; another
day he talks of about my erecting Windmills in the
Crimea. A month hence I may have a regiment
of Huzzars and be sent against the or the
Chinese, and then the command of a ship of
100 Guns. As to the Fontanlie canal I have not
thought of it or scarcely seen it after the first week
I was appointed to attend to it.

As I have quitted the world again, I cannot
give you any news of it. I hope Mad. me Zargraitsky
has satisfied you in that respect, although
I think no one knows less of what passes there than she.
