| Description | (In French.)
[For some three weeks your son has resorted to the house of the Baron de Boyneburgh, where my pupils are welcome. For some days my young friend was very sad, and he owned that he was in love with the young Baroness de Wangenheim, who returned it. He told me yesterday that they were engaged. She is a girl of character and understanding and of considerable fortune. Her father is one of the premier Barons of this country and very rich. As a father you will know the susceptibility of such a virtuous young man as your son is. My wedding took place on the 8th June. My wife, formerly Mde. Krumbhaar of Leipzig, was for nine years an intimate friend of myself and my late wife. Although she has much property and is of a family much respected and distinguished in Saxe, she gave her heart and hand to a man of moderate family, leaving a famous city to dwell in a little village.] |
