letter to the King :—" Dear Lord and King,—l am a poor
apprentice shoemaker, but a great friend of the army,
and I shall one day become a valiant soldier myself. I
threw a pair of boots on a waggon which followed the
regiment (No. 60), believing that they belonged to one of
the men who had beedbilleted with us. It turns out that
the boots were not the soldier's, but one of our workmen's,
and he calls upon me to replace them. Dear Lord and
King, lam in great trouble. Try and find out what has
become of the boots, and take care to send them back to my
comrade." A few days after the municipality of Spandau
received by a Cabinet courier the order to inform the
apprentice that the King would pay for the boots in
question.
