[PRUSSIA] KING FREDERICK II (FREDERICK the GREAT). Letter signed with military content.
Breslau: 23 January 1779. Single-page letter in a secretarial hand and signed by King Frederick. 9 x 7 1/4 inches (23 x 18 cm). Two punctures in blank space at left, a few spots and erased pencil notes.
King Frederick writes to Major General von Bosse during the War of Bavarian Succession (in translation): "take all precautions and see to it that the officers think and are unfailingly alert and on their guard so as not to be taken by surprise, and if the enemy is too strong, it is probably safest to retreat slightly..."
