St Petersbourg Sept 28th O.S. 1783
I wont sendt to my father by this last post a letter which I fear will
give him much vexation. I could not avoid settling my money
concerns were with Mr Sharpe without hurting myself very materially
and irreparably, and as it is the last time I shall ever make such
any demand on my father for money I hoe he will forgive it.
great s the sum may appear it does not amount to so much
as he must have deprived himself of <delto have made use in
giving me into my hands at my coming of age something
analogous to what he gave you, and which I remember
there were thoughts of his doing.
in my letter to him I promised to send a packet by sea, but
the departure of an English Courier I thought a better opportunity.
For the purpose of assuring my father that he need not be under the
least apprehension of my drawing upon him for any more money,
I have desired him to write to Mr Sharpe here to tell him that
he will not be responsible for me in future. I myself give
people here to understand that I expect no further assistance
from my father while I am in this country during his lifetime.
that his displeasure at my declining the flattering offers made
