Crown reap from these works. At a low computation I should 290
acquire after the 2 first years a surplus of profit to the amount
of 10 or 12,000 pounds sterling a year, and afterwards probably
much more, neither would the first year be without
their surplus.
Such an establishment as this however
would not in this country be sufficient a man who is
not in an employment under the Crown however rich
this as a source of profit there must be an employment
of another kind as a source of respect. What this latter
should be, what service I might ask in which I could
most distinguish myself I did not think it necessary to
determine on till I get back to Petersbourg considering
however some representations I should have to make and that
trouble or distance of situation were no scruple with me
I did not doubt the providing one an office a charge to suit
my purpose.
