find wherewithall to eat & drink. As to travelling expences to come to me I
can also engage for that some way or other, either at public or even ay my
own expence. My Salary I understand is 1200 rubles to which I am to have
100 rubles pr month equal to 1200 more for table money. besides four men
servants who are fed without any expence. I told you I was to be made
Lieutenant Colonel in the army, I am so, and wear the uniform accordingly
as you will see by my portrait which I have sent my father and which
he will receive by shipping. I rejoice that Project is so near finished,
but I had wished much to see it before it had been printed, besides
that I shall lament so much the impediment to your visit. If
however the gods will that you should be thus detained I will
console myself with the hope that in the course of these 6 or 8 months
I may contrive your visit to be more comfortable to you.
Happy we will be when we are together.
I hope then to have a compleat description of the Steam Engine.
I wish And: and Burk: would bring with them to Petersburgh some
Potatoes of the best sort for eating, and of the best for spirit making.
And: has enumerated so may sorts that we should have some of the
best for seed.
It is true there was once some idea of your friend's brother going
to Holland. he had even taken a house there but when I saw him
last he had no such expectations.
The reason you had not a Chart in roman characters is that
there is none yet published according to the new division of Government
and Pleschijeff promised to have one of the old altered according to the
new. It was not done at that time but I hope it is done now.
Mislansky's work is not to be had here in French.
A pair of plain spurs gilt with gold, for regimentals
to be worn without rowels [prickles]
Pray let me have a pair of Silver
spurs. They should be broad with chains
and the neck should not be long
