    In the letter which this answers I had asked him

    whether he knew any thing of Olenitz, where Sam

    seemed then likely to have settled, throwing out in general terms the

    idea of my paying him a visit there one of the

    days.

    Dear Sir

    Your obliging Letter of the 10 h

    Ins t. reached me as I was just

    setting out a second time for this Country, & tho I shall

    not write to tell you the Nothing I know of Olenitz yet you will suffer me

    to do it for the Purpose of thanking you for the kind Information which

    you have been pleased to give me of the State of the Hard Labour

    Bill & of the Effects it has produced. — This I can say to you

    of Olenitz, or of Russia in general, that as Houses grow there

    like Mushrooms, if you will give your Brother a Months Notice of your

    Intention of making him a Visit, I will answer for it,

    that he will build you a Palace at Olenitz, that shall be ready for your

    Reception at your Arrival. — I have been writing to him by this

    Post a Letter that may be read at the Four Quarters of the Empire, &

    therefore such an one as I should rather they copied at the Post, than

    otherwise. My first object in writing was to desire him to explain Matters between

    Jer Rashleigh a Cornish Member & L d Pallas a German Professor of that

    this a good opportunity of introducing what might be of use on other Topics

    I look forward with Pleasure to the hopes of meeting you frequently in the

    Winter & am with great veneration & Regard Most Yours R

    PS I shall probably leave this Place soon.
