4 Jan 1759:21 (1567)
The following short character of his Prussian Majesty, is
said to have been written by a Scotch gentleman, then in
Silesia, to his friend in London, March 1758.
As to the music you wrote for, I could not send it you,
except I was at Berlin. Here in Silesia every thing bears
the face of war; and tho' his Majesty (the K. of Prussia) is
so far above other human minds, as to appear always serene,
and as if he was at leisure; yet you may judge, if it is fit
to take up a moment of his time in talking of trifles. . .
