FREDERICK II
(The Great, 1712-1786, from 1740 King of Prussia)
Letter signed 'Frederic', in German translation, to "the Head Commissary of Stores Bein zu Jordan"
saying that "His Royal Majesty of Prussia, our most gracious lord, regarding the liquidation submitted to the Military Department for the transport and expenses of 1,528 Wispel wheat cereals, which are enormously high and out of all proportion to the purchase price: the order is given to the Head Commissary of Stores Bein to buy in the area of Bromberg, Elbing and Marienwerder, as a transport via Pillau and Szczecin would cause horrendously expensive costs. The costs are 3 ½ Taler per Wispel, which on average is no advantage compared to a purchase. The Head Commissary Bein is informed that the transport via Pillau and Szczecin will not be approved ...", 1 side 4to., Potsdam 16th October
