They will have nothing to do with Money, all Trade with
them is carried on by Exchange of Cloth and Trifles.
The Coll's other Battallion is in the Government of
Kamcshatka, where we go for a Month when the Sledge
Road sets in, return from there to Tobolsky & here —
He has great Plans formed and every power to
put them in execution if possible.
I am here in possession of every thing the Country
can afford. I live with the Coll, and our pursuit
you may suppose suits my Genius.
He is a Man of great Science and Information.
Think what a Journey I performed from the Army
here 6000 Miles thro' Deserts & Forests. to attempt
giving you an account of this Country or my Journey
in a Letter is impossible. I hope to find a better
opportunity, I must conclude with hoping my dear
Friends have all good health, and that you my
dear Father have many prosperous undertakings
which is the Sincere wish of Your truly affectionate
& dutiful Son
