there \and spending so much time there myself
strangers receive not such treatment in any other
country: nor I believe did ever stranger receive
such in this but myself.
I don't know whether Pleschjiff has given you
any translation of the general letter of recommendation
I have. He could best have done it
and said he would, but least he could not, I will
give you a litteral translation of it. Also I will
enclose a copy of a note to Sir James Harris
from the first Minister in the civil department.
Sir James had sent him in writing an account of the
route I proposed taking and this was the answer.
There came also besides this general laetter which
had a flying seal 12 others scaled and directed
to different Governors which to judge by those
of which I have seen the indise were all to the same
imput as the general one. Men's letter I had
also from Pronce Potemkin the first minister
in the War department here. I had theirs from
different people to the amount of about 70.
Prince Potemkin at my Sir James' request gave me a Corporal
and soldier both Grenadiers and picktmen.

Officer in the department of mines who is particularly
well acquainted with his profession, has been already
to great assistance to me in forming my collection of
minerals and is well informed respecting the parts
of the country I am going to, having been put there
to examine the state of the mines, I have desired
he may be ordered to accompany me and he is
sent for for that purpose. The General Governor
complied with this request of mine the more readily
as he told me he had received repeated orders in my
favour from Petersbourg. You cannot wonder I think
that with such advantages I should determine on
lengthening my journey.
My planning machine I think I told you was stopt
on account of some letters from Petersbourg: as to the
success of it I can have no doubt of that. I shall
