Mr. Forster

Sir,

In compliance with the wish which you expressed yesterday evening, when Mr. Pitt and myself had the honour of seeing you with Mr. Peters and Mr. Thornton, I now transmit to you the enclosed memorandum of the result of our conversation, and have the honour to be etc etc….

It being understood from the communication received from Mr. Forster, and the other gentlemen deputed by the court of assistants of the Russian Company, that ships sailing from hence without delay for the Russian ports in the Baltic, might probably leave those ports with their cargoes towards the end of June, or the middle of July; those gentlemen are authorized to inform the persons concerned in the Russian trade, that there appears a great degree of probability, that ships sailing from hence under such circumstances as would enable them to leave the Russian ports by the period above stated, would not be endangered by reason of any event of the present negotiations with the court of Petersburgh.
