Yes, so I will—I am a little or so just now,
and I will give you a little bit of a treat. 249
There was a man sent from God, and his name was
John for aught I know, but at any rate it was Schwediauer.
This man is a man of enterprize, almost altogether
one of us— He is to have the best recommendations to Petersburg,
that is to say in his own line; amongst others he is to be recommended
to a man who is Physician to the Empress Physicians
are wanted all over Prussia— His plan is to get
sent to Astracan — and what do you think for? not merely to stay
there, through that he proposes to do for 2 or 3 years
but for the sake of travelling from thence through Persia and the countries
adjacent to Thibet, to pay a visit to the Grand Lama.
This he mentioned to me in confidence as a great secret
and as such it must be kept; because if it were known that
he designed to play truant, they might not send him perhaps
to Astracan.
