with an autograph subscription, sending his "friendship and duty and, moreover, affection and best wishes to begin with, Serene Highness and Prince, beloved Cousin. From your Highness's cousinly and kind letter of the 26th December We learn that it has pleased God to recall from this temporal life your youngest son, Prince Friedrich August. And out of our Christian sympathy with your Highness because of this untimely death, We therefore hope that the Almighty may compensate you by granting you great and lasting prosperity and many happy and joyous events.", he has ended the letter after his titles "My dear Prince, Ever ready to serve you, Your loyal Cousin Georg Ludewig, Elector", 2 sides folio with impression of his papered seal on half of the conjugate blank, Hanover, 15th January lacking bottom half of conjugate leaf, edges frayed, rather browned overall The future King begins his autograph subscription with the old formula "E.L.", standing for "Eure Liebden", literally "Your Belovedness", used only between royals or independent princes. In this respect it is like "Dear Cousin", here "Vetter". "Eure Liebden" is also in the text as "Ew: Lid:". He also writes "Cuhrf�rst" for "Elector", instead of the usual spelling "Churf�rst" found in the main text. Seller Inventory # 21839
