my desire as you will be see by the last paragraph of my paper
is to go down and take possession of my command as soon
as it is given me and but as soon as I have got full
accounts of everything and found out who I can best trust
to I then mean to return here which I hope would be
in the course of this next winter. My wish then is to go
through Sweden to England and pay you all a visit.
I should have then not only have seen what people and machines
are wanting bit I hope also I should have made agreements
with private people upon some such terms as
I have mentioned and should therefore know what
I should have occasion for to assist me in those
undertakings, as well as what I should want for the service of
the crown. With respect to workmen however particularly for
the mines it would be from Germany not from England that
I should think of procuring them, and of those as few as possible, for
I wish to shew what Russians can be made to do.
I believe there are upwards of 50 thousand men attached to the
several works in question. Of the greatest part of them however
it is only required that they cut down a certain quantity of
wood instead of paying head money.
My prospects app are very fair, but I consider nothing as
certain. As however the Empress has said it shall be, every
body else speaks of my being in her service as certain absolutely fixed
