This
is
the
most
favourable
period
for
travelling
in
Russia
.
They
fly
quickly
over
the
snow
in
their
sledges
;
the
motion
is
pleasant
,
and
,
in
my
opinion
,
far
more
agreeable
than
that
of
an
English
stagecoach
.
The
cold
is
not
excessive
,
if
you
are
wrapped
in
furs
--
a
dress
which
I
have
already
adopted
,
for
there
is
a
great
difference
between
walking
the
deck
and
remaining
seated
motionless
for
hours
,
when
no
exercise
prevents
the
blood
from
actually
freezing
in
your
veins
.
I
have
no
ambition
to
lose
my
life
on
the
post-road
between
St.
Petersburgh
and
Archangel
.
I
shall
depart
for
the
latter
town
in
a
fortnight
or
three
weeks
;
and
my
intention
is
to
hire
a
ship
there
,
which
can
easily
be
done
by
paying
the
insurance
for
the
owner
,
and
to
engage
as
many
sailors
as
I
think
necessary
among
those
who
are
accustomed
to
the
whale-fishing
.
I
do
not
intend
to
sail
until
the
month
of
June
;
and
when
shall
I
return
?
Ah
,
dear
sister
,
how
can
I
answer
this
question
?
If
I
succeed
,
many
,
many
months
,
perhaps
years
,
will
pass
before
you
and
I
may
meet
.
If
I
fail
,
you
will
see
me
again
soon
,
or
never
.
Farewell
,
my
dear
,
excellent
Margaret
.
Heaven
shower
down
blessings
on
you
,
and
save
me
,
that
I
may
again
and
again
testify
my
gratitude
for
all
your
love
and
kindness
.
Your
affectionate
brother
,
R.
Walton
To
Mrs.
Saville

England
Archangel

28th
March

--
How
slowly
the
time
passes
here
,
encompassed
as
I
am
by
frost
and
snow
!
Yet
a
second
step
is
taken
towards
my
enterprise
.
I
have
hired
a
vessel
and
am
occupied
in
collecting
my
sailors
;
those
whom
I
have
already
engaged
appear
to
be
men
on
whom
I
can
depend
and
are
certainly
possessed
of
dauntless
courage
.
But
I
have
one
want
which
I
have
never
yet
been
able
to
satisfy
,
and
the
absence
of
the
object
of
which
I
now
feel
as
a
most
severe
evil
.
I
have
no
friend
,
Margaret
:
when
I
am
glowing
with
the
enthusiasm
of
success
,
there
will
be
none
to
participate
my
joy
;
if
I
am
assailed
by
disappointment
,
no
one
will
endeavour
to
sustain
me
in
dejection
.
I
shall
commit
my
thoughts
to
paper
,
it
is
true
;
but
that
is
a
poor
medium
for
the
communication
of
feeling
.
I
desire
the
company
of
a
man
who
could
sympathize
with
me
,
whose
eyes
would
reply
to
mine
.
You
may
deem
me
romantic
,
my
dear
sister
,
but
I
bitterly
feel
the
want
of
a
friend
.
I
have
no
one
near
me
,
gentle
yet
courageous
,
possessed
of
a
cultivated
as
well
as
of
a
capacious
mind
,
whose
tastes
are
like
my
own
,
to
approve
or
amend
my
plans
.
How
would
such
a
friend
repair
the
faults
of
your
poor
brother
!
I
am
too
ardent
in
execution
and
too
impatient
of
difficulties
.
But
it
is
a
still
greater
evil
to
me
that
I
am
self-educated
:
for
the
first
fourteen
years
of
my
life
I
ran
wild
on
a
common
and
read
nothing
but
our
Uncle
Thomas
'
books
of
voyages
.
At
that
age
I
became
acquainted
with
the
celebrated
poets
of
our
own
country
;
but
it
was
only
when
it
had
ceased
to
be
in
my
power
to
derive
its
most
important
benefits
from
such
a
conviction
that
I
perceived
the
necessity
of
becoming
acquainted
with
more
languages
than
that
of
my
native
country
.
Now
I
am
twenty-eight
and
am
in
reality
more
illiterate
than
many
schoolboys
of
fifteen
.
It
is
true
that
I
have
thought
more
and
that
my
daydreams
are
more
extended
and
magnificent
,
but
they
want
(
as
the
painters
call
it
)
"
keeping
"
;
and
I
greatly
need
a
friend
who
would
have
sense
enough
not
to
despise
me
as
romantic
,
and
affection
enough
for
me
to
endeavour
to
regulate
my
mind
.
Well
,
these
are
useless
complaints
;
I
shall
certainly
find
no
friend
on
the
wide
ocean
,
nor
even
here
in
Archangel
,
among
merchants
and
seamen
.
Yet
some
feelings
,
unallied
to
the
dross
of
human
nature
,
beat
even
in
these
rugged
bosoms
.
My
lieutenant
,
for
instance
,
is
a
man
of
wonderful
courage
and
enterprise
;
he
is
madly
desirous
of
glory
,
or
rather
,
to
word
my
phrase
more
characteristically
,
of
advancement
in
his
profession
.
He
is
an
Englishman
,
and
in
the
midst
of
national
and
professional
prejudices
,
unsoftened
by
cultivation
,
retains
some
of
the
noblest
endowments
of
humanity
.
I
first
became
acquainted
with
him
on
board
a
whale
vessel
;
finding
that
he
was
unemployed
in
this
city
,
I
easily
engaged
him
to
assist
in
my
enterprise
.
