The day before yesterday, on his return from the estate of Count Kinsky at Chlumetz, he found his father’s two letters, his watch and his clothes, which he had forgotten in Sopron, in his lodgings, and he thanked him for sending them. He is very happy about what his father writes about the Diet. From Hohenmaut, they often go on excursions, trying to get to know the area. Today he is going to Leutomischel to visit Count Waldstein, and from there he and his brother-in-law Ferdinand are going to Geirsperg to see Christopher Cavriani, whom he has a childlike desire to see, and in January he will hurry to his parents’ embracing arms. He thanks him for the quarterly apanage, and especially the fact that he has received his father’s letters “out of friendship”, a word he has not yet deserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3403,3370,3518],"tags":[3426],"language":[3416],"addressee":[3411],"place_of_writing":[3515],"qualification":[3383],"place_of_keeping":[3519],"place_of_publication":[3520],"class_list":["post-11429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-szechenyi_ferenc-en","category-csalad-en","category-ifjusag-en","tag-military","language-german","addressee-ferenc-szechenyi","place_of_writing-hohenmauth-en","qualification-original","place_of_keeping-mnl-ol-p-623-a-i-9-no-41-3-en","place_of_publication-zichy-56-57-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11429","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=11429"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11433,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11429\/revisions\/11433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11429"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=11429"},{"taxonomy":"addressee","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/addressee?post=11429"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_writing","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_writing?post=11429"},{"taxonomy":"qualification","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/qualification?post=11429"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_keeping","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_keeping?post=11429"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_publication","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_publication?post=11429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
