Sunday evening, Friedrich despatches Ziethen's Report; which punctually came to Finck's hand; but was the last thing he received from Friedrich, or Friedrich from him.

The intervening Pandours picked up all the rest.

The Ziethen REPORT, of two or three lines, most succinct but sufficient, like a cutting of hard iron, is to be read in many Books: we may as well give the Letter and it:-- FRIEDRICH'S LETTER (WILSDRUF, 18th NOVEMBER, 1759).

"My dear General-Lieutenant von Finck,--I send you the enclosed Report from General Ziethen, showing what is the lie of matters as seen from this side; and leave the whole to your disposition and necessary measures.

I am your well-affectioned King,--F." The Enclosure is as follows:-- GENERAL ZIETHEN'S REPORT (KESSELSDORF, 18th NOVEMBER, 1759).
