St. Petersburg Feb 14th 1781
I have no more time than just to forward to you
your brother's letter which he left with me at his setting
out, and to tell you, Sir, that his business goes on
very well, he has two excellent strings to his bow,
in short I know not how he could be better off, but
you must not be in a hurry, that is the worst in our
country; It will be a twelvemonth, or let us say, for the
most 18 months, before his affairs can be determined
on. I must tell you that I am not a stranger to
his pressing circumstances in other respects. He has
been very uneasy, I could see, at his having drawn on his
father for so much, I could have prevented him, taking
away the necessity; this howwever he would not allow.
But although my allowance is but scanty for the
expences I am necessarily, from my situation
drawn into, yet you may make his father,
if you please, easy as to the apprehensions of more
demands, I will save my friend from that and
I shall have a bad opinion o fhim if he does not
permit me to satisfy his further wants: I shall
one day other have a sufficiency, and indeed
as my wants are not very extensive, an affluency,
and then I am sure my friend cannot want
