1780-1781
Since that time Fortune has been very lazy with me.
But I know not whether it is favour you will reckon
a renounce which I received about 3 weeks ago as a mark
of her good or ill will towards me. Before the moment of
the renounce I had everything to hope There had been much
greater firmness than you woud have expected and all threats were but at length
over more I really believe by the cuffings of the mother
than by the threats of the others She gave it up.
Since that A misunderstanding which ensued about the not giving you
of her letters made a rage against me sucede to the
sentiments which she before professed for me so that
all further prospects are perfectly at an end.
A desire which Prince Potemkin showed as soon as I saw him
at his return for to have take me under his orders and so as
for me to go to Cherson I have now accepted of, and am
as impatient to set off as well to be doing of something
as to get out of the way of people to whom I have already
given so much uneasiness. I now enter as Lieutenant Colonel
into the army with promises of promotion shortly and a little
2,400 Rouble salary a small addition to my salary and as much
more under the title of table money. That is I am to expect this
tomorrow & tomorrow & tomorrow. What my employment is to be I
cannot yet tell One day I am to have he he talks of my directing of the building a new
