Description (What the record is about)
-
Folio 91: MacKenzie to Townshend. Without official status I get no real information with exception of hearsay and conjecture - such as Czar's visit to Swedish Admiral today. First visit of Count Apraxin to the prisoner his brother Flag, and pretendedly only pure civility and no other reason gleamed. One of our Factors said he would make me answerable if I did not try to recover a debt for him. His debtor now on trial for malversations. Another, Hewitt, made bankrupt some years ago, hearing that his house was to be pulled down as too near Czar's Palace, suggested that I say I had bought the house and that in case of accident he would not be liable. Obviously I could not agree to any such idea. Referral to letter of 24 or 26 September because Hewitt has since borrowed more than 200 roubles and when I asked it back he said the bargain was real: that I had actually bought it. I knew better than to buy a house without regard to the Czar. Dated St Petersburg, 20 Dec 1714.
