You will see, my dear Baron, by the Gazette, that we are still on our travels. You will with the less surprize receive a letter from this place. We have thoroughly investigated the facts contained in the Journals of the Baron de Sulback and of the Count de Stralzi, by which means we have proved the veracity of the former, and of course the falsehood of the latter. Three weeks after we left the Court, the young Prince received a letter from his father of which this is a copy:

'It is with inexpressible pleasure, my dear son, I learn the consequences your presence produces wherever you go. Deserve these marks of attachment by your sensibility of gratitude. Promise yourself to be the means of happiness to a people that love you, trusting you will one day be a blessing to them. Never receive coldly proofs of their affection. They not only claim their happiness from you but your love; theirs is given you at that price. Justice alone will intitle you to their respect; their allegiance must be your's, were you a tyrant: a parental affection towards your subjects will exalt you to the rank of the greatest Monarchs; by the high esteem they hold you in they will immortalize your name. Their happiness will depend on you, your fame of true glory on them. By endearing yourself to my subjects, you will increase their regard for me; they will be convinced of my good intentions towards them by my care of your education. They will load me with blessings for rendering you worthy of the throne. Continue your journey six weeks longer in my provinces, and bring me back a descriptive and exact Journal. Should you find, in any remote province, merit and virtue languishing in obscurity, perhaps oppressed, bring it forth to light. – Whilst I am confined by the cares of Government to a deceitful Court, where the voice of my people and complaints of the unfortunate cannot reach me, you, my son, still at liberty, will perform the sacred duty of a faithful subject and tender friend; instruct yourself to enlighten me.
