What I tore off and have scratched out was what I had mistake

written on this piece of paper instead of in a letter to this said

Governor. His name is Lambe He says that he is of English or rather Scotch

extraction. An ancestor of his was taken to the service of a Czar before

Peter the Great: but in short this is a matter which

is so little interesting compared to his good qualities that I

have forgotten it.

The machine I wrote to you last about is tried in the model to the perfect

satisfaction of everybody. It would be almost ready in the great but 6

weeks hollidays

at this season of the year for the men to make their hay

&c puts a stop to it. You shall hear more of it as soon as it

can be finished. I beg'd you in my last to give me information

about windmills. All mechanical information would be highly

acceptable.
