Nigno-Taghil, alias Nigna-Taghilisky Savod, alias the Lower Fabrick situated
on the Taghil.
12 of May O.S> 1781.
I have this instant received yours of the dated in the former part Feby 13. and in the latter
Jan
intended for Feby 31er. This is was with the 3d packet I have received from Petersbourg since I
have been at this place, each of which contained one or more from you. in my
last which I dispatched upon the receipt of your last I gave you a
particular account of what I had received from you & my father. I then promised
to write a sheet full before I slept. I did so and have since almost filled
another but they consist entirely of my journal at my first setting out
from Petersbourg and must be again copied out before it will be right
to send them away. That is a matter will keep very well. It will be good employment
while I am going down the river Tobol to Tobolsk. I hope I may then
write as I used to do in the Trekskint in Holland.

Your Shuffling apparatus
may be very clever. When I am in a way
again to shuffle my marginal contentsI shall be much obliged
to you for your description at present I have only skimmed it over
without understanding it. My present employment is not so abstract.
Thick deal boards area at present the subject of my attention.
SAwa cannot be said to be in use in this country unless it be those that
are worked by water composing ill contrived saw mills. For my vehicle
I have coccaion for some boards about 1/4 of an inch thick. There are lb/>none thinner that 1 inch & 1/2. 3men have been employed these three
weeks in reducing these to the thickness required. The comfort is that
the pay of these men is not above 8 or 10 copeks pr day, and a greater
comfort is that it is not my money that pays for it.
