This fourth one does get through; reports to his Majesty, That, by all appearance, there will be Battle on the morrow early; that not Czaslau, but only Chotusitz is ours; and that Instructions are wanted.

It is 2 or 3 in the morning, [Ib.

Thursday, 17th May, 1742; a furiously important Day about to dawn.
