Schmitten, The Principality of Pillau-Zerbst
28 July 1768
My Dear General de Latté,
This letter is to inform you that my force and I will join your army in several days’ time just north of its current position. In my charge is a company of the Wolmar-Bock regiment, operating independently of its parent formation. The men, though ragged and somewhat course in temperament, are eager to join your army and will perform well in battle as I had the chance to observe some years ago when my regiment fought the Prussians in Pemerania. We were then in the service of
Your Faithful and Obedient Servant,

(note: I believe Jean-Louis should be back online within the week . . . let's give his agents credit in absentia.)

NO, no. . . The name Licentius is deliberately misspelled to make it appear more "Latin" in form. ;-)
Best Regards,
