Herr General); "and will like nobody but such as encourage him
therein. For me, I think all Princes are cast in the same mould;
there is only a more and a less.

"At parting, he embraced me twice; and said, 'I am sorry I cannot
stay longer; but another time I will profit better.' Wolden [one
of the Three] told me he could not describe how well-intentioned
for your Excellency the Prince-Royal is [cunning dog!], who says
often to Wolden [doubtless guessing it will be re-said], 'If I

(where Colonel Wreech, by the way, is AMTS-HAUPTMANN, official
Head-Man), after shooting a SPIESSER or two, and dining and
talking in this sort, his Royal Highness goes to sleep at Massin;
and ends one day of his then life. We proceed to Letter No. 3.

A day or two after No. 2, it would appear, his Majesty, who is
commonly at Wusterhausen hunting in this season, has been rapidly
out to Crossen, in these Landsberg regions (to south, within a
day's drive of Landsberg), rapidly looking after something;
Grumkow and another Official attending him;--other
Official, "Truchsess," is Truchsess von Waldburg, a worthy
soldier and gentleman of those parts, whom we shall again hear of.
In No. 3 there is mention likewise of the "Kurfurst of Koln,"--
Elector of Cologne; languid lanky gentleman of Bavarian breed,
whom we saw last year at Bonn, richest Pluralist of the Church;
whom doubtless our poor readers have forgotten again. Mention of
him; and also considerable sulky humor, of the
Majesty's-Opposition kind, on Schulenburg's part; for which
reason, and generally as a poor direct reflex of time and place,--
reflex by ruffled bog-water, through sedges, and in twilight;
dim but indubitable,--we give the Letter, though the Prince is
little spoken of in it:--

No. 3. TO THE EXCELLENCY GRUMKOW (as above), IN BERLIN.
