decide absolutely upon it, or as to the mode of engaging in it, till you
have been at Petersburg, and given yourself an opportunity of seeing
and judging how far or in what respect your other schemes shall be

tend to forward & facilitate the business of such a kind of partnership
with some house upon the Baltic. You have had and will
have great advantages in making acquaintance with persons upon
the spot, of making yourself so known to them, as to be able to
correspond with them for the purpose of procuring from them
any further useful intelligence you may find you have occasion
for on your return to England: for there is nothing so attaching
personal knowledge of people upon the spot of their own
ground. It creates a confidence beyond what is possible to subsist
between persons not immediately acquainted with & known to each other
