Geschrieben in Teplitz<\/em>[a]<\/u><\/a> den 16 September 1813<\/em>.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lieber guter Vater, heute erst empfing ich meiner lieben Eltern Schreiben, und die gl\u00fcckliche Entbindung meiner guten Schwester.[b]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hier \u00fcbersende ich wieder eine Arm\u00e9e Nachricht<\/em>.1<\/sup> in der Hoffnung, da\u00df mein guter Vater sie durch mich am ersten bekommen wird[c]<\/a> –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heute und Morgen bleibt das Hauptquartier noch hier, indessen beynahe alle Menschen, auser uns die wir in der suite sind, ausruhen k\u00f6nnen: \u00fcbrigens befinde ich mich ganz gut, und finde selbst die heftigste Bewegung, zutr\u00e4glich f\u00fcr meine Gesundheit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auch scheint die disharmonie zwischen uns<\/em>1<\/sup> und denen Russen<\/em>,1<\/sup> die beynahe tiefe Wurzeln fassen h\u00e4tte k\u00f6nnen, verschwunden zu seyn, und so giebt uns jeder Tag, und jeder kleine Erfolg, bessere Hoffnungen, sch\u00f6nere Aussichten in die Zukunft: ich wenigstens will alles gerne opfern, wenn der Allgemeinen=Sache<\/em>1<\/sup> geholfen werden kann, den[2]<\/a> was die armen Bewohner Sachsen<\/em>\u2019s,1<\/sup> und eines kleinen Theils von B\u00f6hmen<\/em>1<\/sup> gelitten haben \u2014 ist erschrecklich \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teplitz ist in den Augenblick der angenehmste, oder viel mehr, der interessanteste<\/em>1<\/sup> Aufenthalt in ganz Europa, da, so zu sagen, die H\u00e4upter aller verb\u00fcndeten Nationen hier existiren \u2014 und zwar so existiren<\/em>,[3]<\/a> da\u00df man mit ihnen lebt, mit ihnen leben mu\u00df \u2014 wo jede Steifheit<\/em>3<\/sup> jedes Verh\u00e4ltni\u00df<\/em>3<\/sup> jeder Rang<\/em>3<\/sup> zu verschwinden scheint \u2014 In jeder andern hinsicht w\u00e4re\u2019s hier nicht zum aushalten, da der Gestank wegen allen denen Verwundeten, und Todten, die noch uneingegraben auf den Schlachtfelde liegen, beynahe unausstehlich ist, dan ist Mangel an allen, da die Arm\u00e9e zu gro\u00df, und alle Wege zur Zufuhr zu verdorben sind um hinl\u00e4ngliche Lebens Mitteln herbey f\u00fchren zu k\u00f6nnen, p. ex.[4]<\/a> eine kleine Bouteille Wein wird um 8 bis 10 Gulden bezahlt ~ und so dan alles in den Verh\u00e4ltni\u00df so da\u00df die Dienerschaft sehr viel depensiren mu\u00df \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Quartier bin ich nun mit noch 3 andern, und bin recht zufrieden, und denke recht oft an meine lieben guten Eltern, denen ich die H\u00e4nde tausendmal k\u00fcsse und um ihren Segen bitte<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today he received a letter from his parents, telling him that his sister has had a baby. This time he also encloses a war report. The headquarters will remain at Teplitz today and tomorrow, so that all but the aides-de-camp can rest. He’s quite well, and the exertions aren’t hurting his health. The antagonism between the Austrian and Russian general staffs, which seemed to be taking root, was disappearing, and the future looks brighter. Today, Teplice is the most pleasant and interesting place in Europe, because all the leaders of the Allied Powers are here, and they carry themselves without any rigidity. In other respects, however, the situation is unbearable, because the stench of the wounded and the unburied dead is unbearable. Supplies are also scarce; a small bottle of wine costs 8\u201310 forints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3403,3370,3518,3402],"tags":[3381,3426],"language":[3416],"addressee":[3411],"place_of_writing":[3547],"qualification":[3383],"place_of_keeping":[3552],"place_of_publication":[3553],"class_list":["post-11486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-szechenyi_ferenc-en","category-csalad-en","category-ifjusag-en","category-a-katonaevek-en","tag-family","tag-military","language-german","addressee-ferenc-szechenyi","place_of_writing-teplitz-en","qualification-original","place_of_keeping-mnl-ol-p-623-a-i-9-no-43-12-en","place_of_publication-zichy-78-79-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11486","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=11486"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11489,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11486\/revisions\/11489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11486"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=11486"},{"taxonomy":"addressee","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/addressee?post=11486"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_writing","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_writing?post=11486"},{"taxonomy":"qualification","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/qualification?post=11486"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_keeping","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_keeping?post=11486"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_publication","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_publication?post=11486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
