Your two last No 12 & 13 were delivered to me at the same time I presume the first had been detained at the Post Office and closely inspected and even the second was also examined but not detain’d

As to Day was our Wedding day and the day on which the Emperor’s return to [us] Capital was celebrated I went to the Te Deum and spent my morning in praying for the success of your Mission. when I return’d I found an order from the Captain of the Vessel for Mr Smith to go to Cronstadt immediately they are to set off tomorrow Morning, which has given such a damp to my spirits I can scarsely write you one word The Emperor has such a dislike to Mobs that every thing here goes on as if nothing had happen’d in the world more than Common in the first instance all the illuminations were order’d to be Knocked down but to day new orders are given and it is to be general The Emperor looks remarkably well but I do not think he is so fat as he was.
