I suppose it is the varnishing the Copper which is the which is the marked superior.
I send you a copy of both letters for your amusement.
What the deuce is come to you that makes you so inquisitive about affairs between
man & wife you are told that Sir Gilbert Elliot goes to fetch Lasy Harris
to England to see her friends and the knowing was in such matters conclude
there must be a misunderstanding between them. let the prattlers settle
the matter among themselves or put on petticoats.
You tell me Howard I set out for Petersbourg. he must be there then long
before now. I wonder my letters from thence dont mention his arrival as
they are of 20/31 July. I may probably write to a letter to him at least
I have such an idea in my had put this minute.
To Hamburg I will write but not these month or 6 weeks when I shall have
so0mething more amusing to tell him of. I mean after the opening of the new
Government.
At Mr Pogodaskin's where I have told you on my having just now
I was delighted to find the Encyclopaedia. I spent almost 2 days in reading several
different articles in it. The article moulin a vent furnished me with almost all the
information I wished for on that head.
The appearance of the country I have been passing through in this excursion is in
general very beautifull:
a great part of the way I appeared top be riding through an
English park. The weather was very fine. the hay perfumed the air, and one can
seldom go 10 or a dozen miles without meeting a river or riverlet. Birch trees
and the several different kinds of fir form the principal parts of the woods. The
larch tree is in great abundance and grows to a great size but is a very unprofitable
production in this part of the country, though so very valuable near arcangel. It is the
the best wood of the fir to be for building ships & little inferior to the oak of this country.
