| Description | (Press-copy.) [The only letter I have received from my son since I wrote to you at Leipzig was in August, in which he says he accompanied you as far as Zeitz, and remarks that in parting from Mr. Reinhard he had lost an excellent tutor and a sincere friend. I must own I have not been perfectly tranquil since he has withdrawn from you parental wing. I almost repent of having changed the plan of his going to Freyberg, as I was unaware at that time that Langensalza was as near to a certain baron, and my only motive was to make my son a good chemist and not a miner. However, I hope he is now at Langensalza at Mr. Wiegleb’s house.] |
