| Notes: |
In a fine clerical hand, but with corrections for a final version. The dated is altered from May 24th to 26th. It is clear that the clerk misread the name of the recipient who is addressed as Baron (Herr deleted) von Hensdorff, Chancellor of the Ducal Saxon Ernestine House Order, Altenburg, Saxe Meiningen, Germany. Just possibly this might be Count Albert's father, Alexander. |
