LETTER 33 (Fragment)
To REVELL PHILLIPS
Wurzburg May 4th 1832
WE have been fortunate enough at W: to have entertained a
considerable number of the most distinguished Polish officers and
other exiles from that unconquered, tho' at present enslaved,
country, among others Rybinsky, Dembinski, Stanislaus Astrowski with
his 3 sons, and we expect Malachowski daily: Saxony, Bavaria, and the
other smaller states of Southern Germany have done much to obliterate
the stain, which the perfidious conduct of the Prussian government
have attached to the German name: but I am afraid that the Polish and
European people will not be very ready to forget and forgive the
pitiable imbecility of France and the temporising selfishness of
England in this matter. Every Bavarian carried a joke on the new
king of Greece in his heart, many a one on his tongue.
