Brief Summary:
Letter from Johann Friederich Reichardt to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, written from Berlin and dated 17 November 1804.
Detailed Summary:
Reichardt opens by noting that he has sent Goethe copies of various works including Winkelman’s letters and J.E. Biester’s letter. He goes on to discuss the judgements of Duke Friedrich von Braunschweig-Oels about the princess who, he notes, is like Frederick II of Prussia, Voltaire, and Maupertuis in that she is now the subject of conversation. He suggests staging Claudine von Villabella for her birthday on the 15th. He then goes on to give an account of the current political situation, discussing various political figures including Napoleon and the Prussian king, as well as the kidnapping of an English businessman, Sir G. B. Rumbold.
