Geschrieben in Turin<\/em>[a]<\/u><\/a> den 11 Ma\u04f1 1814<\/em>.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nachdem ich den sch\u00f6nen mitt\u00e4glichen[2]<\/a> Theil Frankreichs durchlief bin ich den[3]<\/a> endlich vor 2 Stunden hier angekommen, um in eben so vielen Zeit von hier wieder abzureisen \u2013 noch sind wir aber nicht entschieden ob wir in Genua[b]<\/a> oder in Livorno[c]<\/a> uns umschiefen[4]<\/a> sollen, da der Aufenthalt des K\u00f6nigs von Sardinien uns g\u00e4nzlich unbekannt ist,[d]<\/a> und das Verfehlen<\/em>[5]<\/a> zweyer Reisenden auf einen unruhigen Meer nur gar zu leicht geschehen k\u00f6nnte. Gehe ich nach Sardinien so werde ich vermuthlich \u00fcber Neapel hierher zuruckkommen, und dan \u00fcber Triest, wo ich zur See aus[6]<\/a> Venedig reisen werde, in die Arme meiner lieben Eltern fliehen \u2013 wo ich dann, n\u00e4mlich in meiner ruhigen Heimath, einige Zeit liegen<\/em>5<\/sup> bleiben werde, um zu Athem zu kommen, den3<\/sup> seit unserer Trennung habe ich ziemlich viele st\u00fcrmische, wenig frohe aber viele tr\u00fcbe Tage verlebt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auf jeden Fall was den3<\/sup> immer mit mir geschieht, werde ich in \u2013 Wien mit den Windischgr\u00e4tz[e]<\/a> ankommen \u2014 ich glaube, da\u00df es zu dem Ende des k\u00fcnftigen Monath\u2019s geschehen k\u00f6nnte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Der K\u00f6nig von Sardinien[f]<\/a> wird hier mit der gr\u00f6\u00dften Ungeduld erwartet, und selbst in den liegt das interessante unserer Sendung, da\u00df wir dem Volk[7]<\/a> seinen gew\u00fcnschten Beherrscher wieder geben, folglich es, so zu sagen, zu[8]<\/a> begl\u00fccken scheinen. \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lieber Vater nun bitte ich um den Segen, wie auch den meiner lieben theuren Mutter \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eben ist\u2019s entschieden, da\u00df ich nach Genau[9]<\/a> gehe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the island of Sardinia, the Kingdom of Sardinia originally included the Duchies of Savoy, Aosta, Montserrat, Genoa and Piedmont, and the County of Nice as well. Of these, the French annexed Piedmont, Savoy and Nice, so that the kingdom then consisted of the island of Sardinia alone. Under the First Peace of Paris, the truncated kingdom was restored to include Piedmont, Nice and half of Savoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
