Geschrieben den 1 J\u00e4ner 1813<\/em>[1]<\/u><\/a> in Basel<\/em>[2]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In diesen Augenblick werde ich mit meinen Freund Trogoff<\/em>[3]<\/a>[a]<\/a> der meinen hiesigen Aufenthalt am meisten versch\u00f6nert hat. \u00fcber die Grenze Frankreich\u2019s nach Altkirch<\/em>3<\/sup>[b]<\/a> gehen<\/em>:[4]<\/a> morgen in aller Fr\u00fch geht das ganze Hauptquartier nach. \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ich bin \u00fcberzeugt da\u00df wir wenigstens bis B[esancon][5]<\/a> vordringen werden ohne eine t\u00fcchtige Affaire [zu haben, da] aber giebts gewi\u00df einen hartn\u00e4ckigen Kampf, den zu gewinnen unsere Hoffnung und beynahe gewi\u00dfheit ist.[c]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wir haben H\u00fcnningen<\/em>2<\/sup> nun seit 8 Tagen stets bescho\u00dfen und da habe ich beynahe immer, wenn ich einen fre\u04f1en Augenblick hatte, mich beym Generalen Pappenheim<\/em>2<\/sup>[d]<\/a> aufgehalten, von den seiner Wohnung jede Bombe<\/em>3<\/sup> jede Granate<\/em>3<\/sup> ganz superbe sichtbar war \u2014 auch wird sich das infame Nest wohl noch ziemlich lange halten \u2013 unsere Operationen aber keinesweges verhindern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vor zwey Tagen, stellen sich Euer Gnaden vor, welche ungemeine Freude hatte ich? ich sah meinen alten Nesselrode[e]<\/a> der zu uns als Courir aus Bremen[f]<\/a> kamm,[6]<\/a> und von den ich die ganze Campagne hindurch beynahe nichts ge[wi\u00dfes] wu\u00dfte \u2013 nun war das Vergn\u00fcgen allzukurz da ich in [das Haupt]quartier des Grafen Wittgenstein<\/em>3<\/sup>[g]<\/a> abreisen mu\u00dfte. Gott wei\u00df wenn[7]<\/a> ich ihm anjetzo wieder finden werde. \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Von Altkirch<\/em>2<\/sup> oder Kolm\u00e1r<\/em>3<\/sup>[h]<\/a> werde ich Euer Gnaden noch heute oder morgen schreiben. jetzt kann mein guter Trogoff auf mich nimmermehr warten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meiner Lieben Mutter k\u00fcsse ich die H\u00e4nde und bitte um den Segen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After writing the letter, he and his friend Trogoff left for Altkirch, where headquarters followed them the next day. He is convinced that they can get to Besancon without a serious fight, but that they can expect stiff resistance there. Two days ago he had the great pleasure of seeing his friend Nesselrode again, but the meeting was short-lived as he had to travel on to Count Wittgenstein’s headquarters.<\/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":[3594],"qualification":[3383],"place_of_keeping":[3599],"place_of_publication":[3600],"class_list":["post-11582","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-basle","qualification-original","place_of_keeping-mnl-ol-p-623-a-i-9-no-43-2-en","place_of_publication-zichy-60-61-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11582","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=11582"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11582\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11588,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11582\/revisions\/11588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11582"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=11582"},{"taxonomy":"addressee","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/addressee?post=11582"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_writing","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_writing?post=11582"},{"taxonomy":"qualification","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/qualification?post=11582"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_keeping","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_keeping?post=11582"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_publication","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_publication?post=11582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
