We have received lately the News of the revolt which has been suscitated in

London and the guilty part which M r Ranzow has taken

in it The Empress learnt it with a great displeasure, and I believe has

instantly Sentenced him to a perpetual Banishment with a positive refusal to

receive representations from whomsoever in his favour or Justification.

After the uncourteous length of my letter, no apology is good, the best and

only attonement I can make for the loss of your time is to

stopt Short, allowing myself only to assure You of the

unlimited respect and honest Esteem with which I shall always remain,

Sir, Your very humble & Obed. t Serv. t Sergius Pleschjeff.

S t. Petersbourg, June 21 t )OS. 1780.)

P.S. I am waiting impatiently for your Letter's, being authorized by your

Brother to open them, and charged to transmit to him only the most

interesting Passages, conserving the whole of the Letters in my custody

'till his return.

St Petersbourg, Febry 14 th 1781

I have no more time than just to forward to You, Your Brothers Letter which

he left with me at his setting out, and to tell you, Sir, that his Business

goes on very well, he has two excellent Strings to his Bow, in Short, I

know not how he could be better off, but You must not be in a hurry, that is

the worst in our Country; it will be a twelve Month, or let us say for the

most 10 months before his affair can be determined on. I must tell

you that I am not a stranger to his pressing circumstances in other

respects, He has been very uneasy, I could see, at his having drawn on his

Father for so much, I would have prevented him, taking away the necessity;

This however he would not allow. But although my allowance is but security

    Sir,

    I received your's, but I never heard that M r

    Blackburn had published, or even written a Pamphlet

    on the Penitentiary Houses — I often talked to him

    on the Subject, & wished him to write down his Remarks,

    Which he said he would, but when I enquired for

    them, he pleaded Want of Leisure.

    I shall see his Brother in Law when I return to

    Town next Week, who I make no Doubt, will

    let me see any Papers, is there are any, he has left

    on that Subject, & with his Leave, I will transmit

    them to you —

    I am, with great Regard,

    Your very obed t Serv t.
