These were Three of Sam's, one of the Princes Dashkoff's, He and
Sam, went in one, Benson with the Money in another, my Brother's
upper servant, and the Prince's in another.
I forced the Military Instruments transferred to Prince
Dashkoff, and I was glad of it, It would have been all out of
my Brother's pocket, used a Master to teach them would have
Cost £40, or £50. Dashkoff has a Capital Master, and my
Brother can at any time send a sufficient number of men
to learn of him, at little or no Expence. This Plan I shall
promote.
We had begun and almost finished measuring the Land
in the Peninsula, called Ladobras, but the wetting of the snows
and consequent overflowing of a considerable part of it
obliged us to suspend our operations; as soon as the
waters have subsided, which had it not been for some
unusual heavy rains, they would have by this time,
we think to finish. a Description, without a Plan
would convey a very imperfect Idea.
The following is a Copy of Prince Potemkin's Letter
to my brother.
Monsieur, Je ne vous envoye aucun Ordre relativement
aux demandes de votre Lettre de trois mois de cette Année
la raison est, que comptant bientôt partir, J'aime mieux
Sufferer la decision de ces Arrangemens jusqu'a mon
arrivée a Critchoff. Je vous prie donc de m'attendre
et d'etre persuadé de Gentiere devouement, avec l'equall
J'ai l'honneur d'etre parfaitment, monsieur
votre tres humble et tres
obeissant Serviteur
