Irkutsk June 16th O.S. 1782
289
Not a Scrap of a letter had I received from England or scarcely from
Petersbourg since October last while I was at Perme till today when
the post brought me at once 7 from my father & you. My father's
are dated one Septr 14th the other Octr 18th. Yours are of the 1st & 13th of
August. 11th & 15th of Septr & the 21st of October. I have also received
some interesting news from Petersbourg, and I would wish to
take the opportunity of the post which sets out in 2 days to answer
yours at least. some of your letters and more particularly your
representation of the advice which Ld Shelburne is so kind as to
give me quite disconcerts all my plans: but I believe I must
begin by giving you some account of them as the hitherto stood
which is what I have not attempted to do since I left
Catherineberg. In a letter from that place dated the beginning of
January last I mentioned to you the terms which I thought the best
to make engagements on with private people relating to improvements <ln/>in fabricks manufacturies &c. The saltworks near Solikanthaja
served me as example and I told you how much one of thr proprietors
seemed disposed to enter into such terms. I abut the same
time wrote to Petersbourg to my friend Hyman that he might sound
a person who had before wished to have some such engagements
with me how far such terms would be agreeable to him. By this
part I have in answer to that enquiry an assurance that he most
perfectly approves of the terms the and further assurances of
the liberal way of thinking <add> sentiments</add< of this kind of association with him immediately.
