Abstract:

• No.86
p. 97-98
St. Petersbourg, October 31 – November 11 1774
Earl of Suffolk

My Lord
….
It is difficult to see, how the opening of the navigation of the Black Sea can prove any check to the power of Russia; on the contrary, if it had any effect, it would, as your Lordship seems to thing, be of advantage to it: much of that jealousy , which we see in some courts, with respect to this, may I believe be safely attributed to the erroneous notions they entertain of it.
….

I have the honour to be with great respect
My Lord….
Gunning
