a Vessel in which they may go to Sea. An officer & 50
men, I have brought with me from my Batallion are to
be employed in preparing a Vessel for this Expedition.
Having settled this business I set set off for my other
Batallion which is at about 3500 Versts = 2400 Miles
from Hence, and about the same distance from the other.
It's Quarters are on the other side of the Lake Baikal
in the Neighbourhood of Kiachka.
It was for the purpose of getting more intelligence
about the Chinese-Frontiers that I chose this Batallion
at so great a distance from the other: and when I have received the Command of it, I mean to have a Major
there whom I brought with me, and then return here
and to my other Batallion before the Spring.
It is possible I may then go to Petersburg, and
I have permission to take a Trip to England,
but if my Projects here are attended to, they may
keep me here another year before I can go even to
Petersburg.
