Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Moltke´s Letters to His Wife and Other Relatives, Vol. 2 of 2 Breslau is greatly admired by the prince. My room is warm and cosy. In the morning I have to work at the lectures, which I have to submit to the prince, upon military history. On the whole I am very contented in this place. I only wish I had a better memory for persons. I meet with so many at the same time. I have already paid as many as forty-two visits in person. Good-bye, dear wife; hearty greetings to our dear ones. Yours, Helmuth. To his Wife. Breslau, 31st January, 1857. Dear Mary, The morning suit, as well as your letter of yesterday, have arrived. Probably, though it is not quite certain, we shall go on Monday evening, that is to say, the day after to-morrow, to Berlin, as the prince has been invited by his aunt Karl to a birthday festivity (amateur theatricals). Then he would like to stay until his father´s reception takes place, the day for which, however, has not yet been fixed. I have the prospect, therefore, of being with you for a few days, to which pleasure I look forward. At present one fete follows another, and not a day passes without there being something or other. Last Monday a great hunt took place at Major Mutius´ at the foot of the Zobten hills, three and a half miles from here. We left in a heavy snowstorm, had to change horses, breakfasted at nine o´clock, and then hunted until five o´clock in the evening; I killed a couple of hares. At night we were entertained to a hunt dinner in town by the organizer of the affair. On Tuesday I dined with the prince, and in the evening a great fete was given by the city in the theatre. Doubtless you read something about it in the papers; it was great fun. The house itself is very pretty, was splendidly decorated, and brilliantly lighted with gas; the ladies´ toilets were most elegant, and the buffet unexceptionable - oysters, caviare, pies, red partridges, blackcock, boar´s head, etc. The decorations consisted of scenes from Osborne House and the palace Unter den Linden as it will be when finished. The company included all classes in their best. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
