to go where he will upon Discovery, even to pass the
Frontiers any where — he has Six English Saylors
who are now upon an Expedition to find a passage
from Tobolsky to Archangel, another Party of
People in the Chinese Tartary. He and I set out
to morrow with a proper Guard into the Mountainous
Country of the Kirgees Tartars, which has never
been explored, in search of Minerals, from the
specimen the Neighbouring Nations have brought
him, there is a prospect of something.
These People are famous for Horses & Cattle,
great numbers of both come into Russia every
year, they will have nothing to do with money
all Trafic with them is carried on by Exchange

here in possession of everything the Country can
afford — I live with the Colonel, and our
pursuit, you may suppose, suits my genius.
He is a Man of great Science & Information.
