Herrn F. M. v. Courbiere, in Betreff solcher Officiere welche auf selbem Gehalte stehen noch nichts entschieden haben, und ist es sonderbar, daß d. Herr Feldmarschall diesen Officieren schon seit dem 1. Aug. das halbe Gehalt entzieht, da es eine hergebrachte Sache ist, daß die vorgeschlagenen Officiere bis dahin, daß wegen ihrer Pensionirung ein königlicher Befehl erfolgt, das halbe Gehalt fortbeziehen können. Königsberg den 12. Octber 1808. ScharnhorstDes Königl. OberstlieutenantsHerrn Gr. Lottum Hochgeboren" Translated:"Your Highness, upon returning the attachment I do not hesitate to reply to the kind letter dated the 9th of this month:that His Majesty about the pension proposal of Mr. F. M. v. Courbiere, have not yet decided anything regarding such officers who are on the same salary, and is it strange that the Field Marshal has been depriving these officers of half their salary since August 1st, since it is a traditional matter that the proposed ones Officers can continue to receive half their salary until a royal order is issued regarding their retirement. Königsberg, October 12, 1808. ScharnhorstThe Royal Lieutenant ColonelMr Gr. Lottum Hochborn" *`Hochwohlgeboren` is a form of address for members of the lower German nobility or landed gentry.
