CHAPTER IV
4/31

"Meanwhile, till events arrive, I make a pretty stir here (ME TREMOUSSE ICI D'IMPORTANCE), to bring my Regiment to its requisite perfection, and I hope I shall succeed.

The other day I drank your dear health, Monsieur; and I wait only the news from my Cattle-stall that the Calf I am fattening there is ready for sending to you.

"With a" truly infinite esteem, "FREDERIC." NAUEN, 10th MAY, 1732.
