S. is Convinced that I have hitherto done my duty, they will not refu⟨se⟩ to give me that Commercial encouragement whic⟨h⟩ is my only reward and hope that I shall receive ⟨an⟩ appointment to the Circle of Lower Saxony. Nothi⟨ng⟩ of great importance has occurred since my last except the second Capitulation of the Hanoverians, which is Confidently asserted to have taken place.
