TO PRINCESS WILHELMINA AT BAIREUTH.
"NURNBERG, 3d July, 1734.
"MY DEAREST (TRES-CHERE) SISTER,--It would be impossible to quit this place without signifying, dearest Sister, my lively gratitude for all the marks of favor you showed me in the WEIHERHAUS [House on the Lake, to-day].

The highest of all that it was possible to do, was that of procuring me the satisfaction of paying my court to you.

I beg millions of pardons for so putting you about, dearest Sister; but I could not help it; for you know my sad circumstances well enough.

In my great joy, I forgot to give you the Enclosed.

I entreat you, write me often news of your health! Question the Doctors; and"-- and in certain contingencies, the Crown-Prince "would recommend goat's-milk" for his poor Sister.
