Письма Самуила Самуиловича Грейга кь графу С. Р. Во-

ронцову.

London, oct. 19-th 1801.

Your excellency!

have had the honour of speaking to sir Th01nas Troub-

ridge concerning some civil employment and ат sorry to

say, have not been able to receive а definitive answer from

him. Не told те that tWe only places worth ту acceptance

which earl S-t Vincent *) had at his disposal, where those 0f

appointing commissioners abroad, but а situation of this kind was

до seldom vacant, that ту waiting for it would be endless.

This is but poor comfort for те! However it gives те the grea-

test consolation to have in your excellency so good and so

generous а friend; and as long as сап natter myself wth

retaining your friendship, will remain happy in the hopes

of obtaining some employment in this country.

таке по doubt but your excellency's kind intercession in

ту behaIf with m-r Addington will procure те some good

situation, with the salary 0f which, and the interest 0f two

theusand pounds sterling, left те by ту dear father, will be

enabled to live very comfortably in this country.

Your excellenoy's most grateful and most obedient servant

Sam. Greig.

*) Знаменитый адмираль Джервисъ.
