preparing to set out in 2 or 3 days on an Expedition
amongst them, not conceiving they are People any ways
to be afraid of. My General will not give me leave to
go further than fifty Versts into their Country, but
when I get so far no one can stop me, and I must
be doing what no one else has done before me.
After having spent about five weeks with the Kirgese
and in that time rode about 1200 Versts in their Country
I well pleased with my Journey. As I had
and Englishman with me Lieutenant in one of our
Batallions, he kept a Journal of our rout in English
you shall one day or other have a copy of it. This
Englishman of the name of Newton, is a son of a
Gentleman Ockakoff, and then at his desire, was sent
to me by Prince Potemkin, he arrived first on time
to accompany me to the Kirgese; and, as I have
various propositions to make to the Prince, I am
preferring to dispatch this Mr Newton express to
Petersburg.
I am at present at Tobolsk, in the month of June
I was here on my way to my Batallion, and I then
dispatched the Englishman I had brought with me
from Cherson, to examine the mouth of the River Ob
and a small part of the Coase of the White Sea, with
a view of Attempting a Communication with Archangel
there is no doubt of this Passage being at certain
times practicable; but the object is the ascertaining
the degree of Danger & delay occasioned by the of
See which even in by certain winds are brought
