Morgen gehe ich nach[1]<\/a> meinem Regiment.[a]<\/a> Zimmermann,[b]<\/a> der Ihnen diesen Brief \u00fcbergibt, wird meine Bagage nach Pesth bringen.[c]<\/a> Geben Sie ihn jede Erleichterung, indem dieser Auftrag seine Geistes F\u00e4higkeiten beynahe zu \u00fcbersteigen scheint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sie haben neulich meinen Brief[d]<\/a> wegen Grafen M\u00e9rey\u2019s[e]<\/a> Weine erhalten. Nun schreibt mir Gr.[2]<\/a> Merey neuerdings, und ich bitte Sie zufolge seines Schreibens,[f]<\/a> vor dem neuen Jahr<\/em>[3]<\/a> an seine Adresse in Wien 100 bouteillen Schomlauer, 300 bout. Hollinger und 200 bout. recht guten rothen Wein herauf administriren zu wollen. Vor allem reine gute Qualit\u00e4t. Haben wir es nicht, so lassen Sie\u2019s kaufen. F\u00fcr seine Leute 3 Eimer guten Officiers Wein. Keine Rechnung senden: nur mir deshalb schreiben. Trachten Sie viel einzunehmen: ich werde oeconomisch leben, um da\u00df wir mit Zinkendorf einmahl anfangen k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ich habe ein englisches Doppelgewehr an Wentzel Liechtenstein[g]<\/a> verkauft: dessen Casette ist aber in Zinkendorf geblieben. Sie ist die Bessere von den zwey Casetten, die sich in meinem Gewehrkammer befinden, daher leicht zu finden. Schicken Sie die sammt dem Zugeh\u00f6r auf der Stelle nach Wien an Wentz[4]<\/a> Liechten.[5]<\/a> Einige Wochen hat es noch Zeit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Da es mit dem Tausch[h]<\/a> nun auf keinen Fall mehr gehen wird, so sollte die Remise an der Gr\u00e4nze bei Wolfs[i]<\/a> denn doch bey g\u00fcnstiger Gelegenheit wieder vorgenommen werden. Kretsy beklagte sich in dieser Hinsicht \u00fcber den G\u00e4rtner. H\u00f6ren Sie ihn. \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die 2 3 J\u00e4hrigen Schimmelstutten sollen auch mitgef\u00fchrt werden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erhart[j]<\/a> soll auf die F\u00fcllen Acht haben. Die J\u00e4ger sollen einfangen, was von Rebh\u00fchnern da ist. \u2014 Englische Bohnen sollen gesetzt werden, damit sie nicht ausgehen. Von den heurigen Erd\u00e4pfeln sollen die besten und gr\u00f6\u00dften f\u00fcr meinen Gebrauch aufgehoben werden, und in einen sandigen Boden, das k\u00fcnftige Jahr frisch gesetzt werden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Der G\u00e4rtner soll jetzt an \u00dcbersetzungen und lebendigen Z\u00e4umen flei\u00dfig arbeiten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Das Geld ist mir wieder zu wenig gewesen, deshalb lie\u00df ich einige Rechnungen dem Pigay[k]<\/a> zur\u00fcck, und er wird die 800 fl.[6]<\/a> die f\u00fcr den Plank bestimmt gewesen sind \u2014 im Beschlag nehmen, und Plank kann warten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was Sie mir von der Wolle sagen, ist ganz richtig \u2013 Bereden Sie sich immerhin mit Thibolt[l]<\/a> \u2013 und denken an mich und meinem Vortheil und Nutzen \u2013 indessen ich \u2013 mit Vertraun Ihrer Freundschaft mich hingebe.[m]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[a]<\/a> According to his letter of 1 December 1820, also to Liebenberg, he left on 2 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[b]<\/a> Jakab Zimmermann, Sz\u00e9chenyi’s servant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[c]<\/a> He arrived in Pest on December 3, 1820. SzIN 2. 88.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[d]<\/a> The letter is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[e]<\/a> Probably a typo, instead of Mercy. Between 1820 and 1830, Sz\u00e9chenyi\u2019s letters to J\u00e1nos Liebenberg have survived only in copies, mostly in the hand of Istv\u00e1n Darvas. Gyula Viszota probably compared these with the original manuscripts and sometimes made corrections in pencil, as he likely did with this name (Ms 4229\/252 f. 3), correcting Merey to Mercy. Given the content of the letter mentioned in note f), it is more likely to be about Count Mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andreas Florimond Count Mercy d\u2019Argenteau (1771\u20131840) was an Austrian diplomat, counsellor at the State Secret Chancellery, confidant of Metternich. Sz\u00e9chenyi also sold him wine in October 1816 and 1817. See the letters of 6-7 October 1816 and 24 October 1817 and 19 May 1823.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[f]<\/a> This letter is not known, only the one in French, in which the count reports that he has received the wine. Andreas Florimond Mercy d\u2019Argenteau to Istv\u00e1n Sz\u00e9chenyi, 29 December 1820. MNL OL P 626\u20131.\u20131820.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[g]<\/a> Prince Vencel Liechtenstein (1767\u20121842) general, a friend of Sz\u00e9chenyi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[h]<\/a> See his letter of 11 May 1820.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[i]<\/a> Balf is a village near Sopron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[j]<\/a> J\u00e1nos Erhart (c. 1779 \u2013 ?) was a sergeant in the 5th Hussar Regiment, soldier on leave, groom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[k]<\/a> Antal Pigay was Ferenc Sz\u00e9ch\u00e9nyi\u2019s secretary and later Istv\u00e1n Sz\u00e9chenyi\u2019s steward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[l]<\/a> Ferenc Tibolth (1763\u20131833) was Ferenc Sz\u00e9ch\u00e9nyi\u2019s livestock manager and comptroller at the Cenk estate centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[m]<\/a> The copy of the letter is undated. Based on the reference to the draft, it was probably also written on 1 December 1820.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
