For Jhre lines of the gao.d.Js. thank you bindingly. You surprised me to the extent that for the first time I noded from the wish that Jhr fallen son should have been used in Bohemia and Moravia. If I had known this wish or had only suspected it, I would have liked to have come closer to this question. However, whether fate would have been halted, human judgment evades itself. The life of Jher's son has been completed according to the law according to which he had begun. As much as I pay tribute to Yhren's pain, I cordially ask you to live in the certainty that Jhr's son has fallen for the eternal future of the empire and died the most beautiful man's death.
