You will perhaps wonder to find me ask so many
questions about trade and to see me so intent as
it were upon it. You may think I have taken
up an entire new plan and laid aside my old
ones, that I forget all my expectations with respect
to Russia and think only of getting money in a
way which I am not at all suited for.
The case is that I have heard from the
different accounts I have heard of the trade
between this country and England it appears it its
present state very advantageous and to be capable
of gre very great improvements. Moreover I
think it probable that if I were to have any
thing to do with the building of Ships here I might
have m very advantageous opportunities of engaging
in trade at the same time.
This I hope is a sufficient general excuse to
wish to have all the information as soon as
possible which may assist me in deciding.
The last letter I sent from Liban and was obliged
to finish it in a very great hurry.
In it I desired to know what sum of money I could
be furnished with if it should so happen that I should
have any very advantageous opportunity of employing
it in trade. This certainly I should wish much
to know, but I doubt very much if anything
would tempt me to hazard any sum.
