Letters of Alexander von Humboldt to Varnhagen von Ense

148 Humboldt to Varnhagen

Berlin, February 12th, 1852.

It may interest you, dear friend, to see collected on one sheet all the efforts making by the Orleans dynasty to counteract the robbery. The Duchess of Orleans sends the paper by the Princess of Prussia.

Are you acquainted with a candidate for theological honors, named William S., of Dresden, disguised under the name of Wilfried von der Neun, who torments me by sending aphorisms in manuscript?

Yours,
          A. v. Ht.

Be kind enough to return the enclosed at your early convenience.
