There was a man sent from God, and his name was
John for aught I know, but at any rate it was Schwediauer.
This man is a man of enterprize, almost altogether
one of us— He is to have the best recommendations to Petersburg,
that is to say in his own line; amongst others he is to be recommended
to a man who is Physician to the Empress Physicians
are wanted all over Russia— His plan is to get
sent to Astracan — and what do you think for? not merely to stay
there, though that he proposes to do for 2 or 3 years
but for the sake of travelling from thence through Persia and the countries
adjacent to Thibet, to pay a visit to the Grand Lama.
This he mentioned to me in confidence as a great secret

your wishes to go to Russia, he observed that Astracan would
be the very place of all others for a Dock Yard. He expects

Upon my disclosing my projects to him he seemed quite delighted
he said that when he was got into Russia he would take every
opportunity of mentioning it in all companies where there was
any chance of it being of use to mention it. I make no doubt but
