"POGARELL, 8th April, 1741.
"My DEAR JORDAN,---We are going to fight to-morrow.

Thou knowest the chances of war; the life of Kings not more regarded than that of private people.

I know not what will happen to me.
"If my destiny is finished, remember a friend, who loves thee always tenderly: if Heaven prolong my days, I will write to thee after to-morrow, and thou wilt hear of our victory.

Adieu, dear friend; I shall love thee till death.
