Brief Summary:

Letter from Karl Friedrich Reinhard to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, written from Kassel and dated 15 February 1809

Detailed Summary:

Reinhard begins by discussing the carnival at the Kessel court, before discussing Goethe’s chande to his coat of arms, remarking that he only owns the knight’s patent and not the baron title. He goes on to discuss his appointment as an honorary member of the Athéné de la Langue Française in Paris, and speaks of his answer with an allusion to Voltaire’s Candide.
