History of Friedrich II. of Prussia
Vol. XV. (of XXI.)

CHAPTER IV
12/36

The Sazawa-Luschnitz tract of Country is quite lost, then; lost with damages: the question now is, Can we keep the Sazawa-Elbe tract?
For about three weeks more, Friedrich struggles for that object; cannot compass that either.

Want of horse-provender is very great:--country entirely eaten, say the peasants, and not a truss remaining.

October 26th, Friedrich has to cross the Sazawa; we must quit the door of that tract (hunger driving us), and fight for the interior in detail.

Traun gets to Beneschau in that cheap way; and now, in behalf of Traun, the peasants find forage enough, being zealous for Queen and creed.

Pandours spread themselves all over this Sazawa-Elbe country; endanger our subsistences, make our lives miserable.
