Kissb\u00e9r[a]<\/a> den 28 August<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1809<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Euer Gnaden, Liebster Bester Vater!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seit etlichen T\u00e4gen ist nun unser Hauptquartier in Kissb\u00e9r, wo unserr Quartiere so schlecht sind, da\u00df es bey diesen schlechten Wetter fast \u00fcberall hinein Regnet, und wir alle unanehmlichkeiten der Welt ausstehen m\u00fc\u00dfen. \u00dcbrigens bek\u00f6mmt man fast gar nichts zum essen, und destoweniger zum trinken, so, da\u00df, der halbe Generalstab schon am Abweichen leidet, die 2 Sz\u00e9ch\u00e9nyi[b]<\/a> sind noch in der besten Gesundheit und gebrauchen flei\u00dfig, das von ihrer Liebsten Mutter angerathene Geb\u00e4thne Brod: und nehmen sich vor ihr Versprechen getreu zu halten. Einen Tag vor unserer Abrei\u00dfe hatten wir noch das Gl\u00fcck unsern Liebsten Bruder Louis zu sehen, leider nur auf einige Augenblicke: sein Quartier wird in Papotz, an der \u00e4u\u00dfersten Linie der Demarcation seyn; es[1]<\/a> liegt fast in der Linie und mitte von Klein-Zoll und von Iv\u00e1n.[c]<\/a> Wenn wir von hier wieder um so viel gegen Pest r\u00fcckten als Papa von hier ist. Dann w\u00e4ren wir schon so ziemlich nach zu Pesth, und unser Wunsch w\u00e4re erreicht, recht nah1<\/sup> bey<\/em>[2]<\/a> unsern Eltern zu seyn. Die 2 Pistolen die Euer Gnaden, die G\u00fcte hatten mir zu leihen[d]<\/a> werde ich mit der ersten Gelegenheit und vielen Dank zuruck senden: ich war so gl\u00fccklich sie nicht zu gebrauchen, und noch den n\u00e4mlichen Tag nach 11 Uhr Abends in Moor anzukommen. nachdem ich in Bia \u00fcber 3 Stunden aufgehalten wurde, die mir aber sehr geschwind verflohen: und das zwar bey der Frau von Sz\u00ffli[e]<\/a> die uhngemein viele Freundschaft f\u00fcr mich hatten, und mich mit allen m\u00f6glichen Caff\u00e9e Liqueur & bewirteten: auf der \u00fcbrigen Reise hatte ich gar nichts merkw\u00fcrdiges begegnet. Der Obrist Petrich[f]<\/a> war mit uns sehr zufrieden, und der Auftrag den er uns gab, war nach seinen Ausspruch gut exequirt: sehr1<\/sup> Freuden voll f\u00fcr die die es verdient haben. Der Obristwachmeister Maretich,[g]<\/a> empfehlt sich Euer Gnaden tausendmahl, und gr\u00fc\u00dft auch die Lieben Schwestern.[h]<\/a> die ich inniglich k\u00fcsse. Nun bitte ich um den Segen, so auch von meiner Liebsten Mutter, dessen H\u00e4nde ich tausendmahl k\u00fcsse und bleibe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their headquarters have been in Kisb\u00e9r for a few days. Their quarters are bad, it is raining all the time, the general staff are in need of food and drink, he and P\u00e1l are fine, they briefly met Lajos a few minutes before the came here, he is now stationed in P\u00e1p\u00f3c, on the demarcation line. If they continue at this pace towards Pest, they will soon see their parents again. He would return the two pistols his father had lent him when the time came; fortunately, he had no need of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3403,3370,3402],"tags":[3426],"language":[3416],"addressee":[3411],"place_of_writing":[3474],"qualification":[3383],"place_of_keeping":[3414],"place_of_publication":[3475],"class_list":["post-11333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-szechenyi_ferenc-en","category-csalad-en","category-a-katonaevek-en","tag-military","language-german","addressee-ferenc-szechenyi","place_of_writing-kisber-en","qualification-original","place_of_keeping-mnl-ol-p-623-a-i-9-no-39-en","place_of_publication-zichy-15-16-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11333"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11336,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11333\/revisions\/11336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11333"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=11333"},{"taxonomy":"addressee","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/addressee?post=11333"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_writing","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_writing?post=11333"},{"taxonomy":"qualification","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/qualification?post=11333"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_keeping","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_keeping?post=11333"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_publication","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_publication?post=11333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
