if the first experiment succeeded he found it likely to answer,
making it the ground of a trade which might serve in
time to set him upon his own legs. A rough sort of cal-
-culation was made according to which my Brother was
to receive such a price to indemnify him for the prastel,
duty, carriage & all other expences, and all above that
was to be Benson's own, he not standing to any of the
wish. I forget that it was computed his profit would
amount to: I think something closer fifty than forty
pound. Customers were accordingly found for it at
the price proposed amongst my Brother's friends. When my Brother came
to speak with them, he found that Benson before he set
off for Priga, had written them letters, telling them the
cloth was his, and forbidding their paying for it to my
Brother.
In addition to the other 200 Roubles mentioned in my Brother's this letter
of my Brother to him and the 50 Roubles he had to
pay for him to Col. Korsakoff, I find he has received
on my Brother's account the following sums
