My Lord, tho' this letter hath so long been kept in secret, and hid from the publick; I give you my honour it is genuin [sic]. It was with great difficulty I obtained a copy of it, and tho' I am not a perfect master of the French language, I attempted the translation of it, and if it is not so correct or sublime in the English tongue, as in the original; yet will, in a great measure, discover the real sentiments of his Prussian Majesty to the unhappy family of Steuart..
