Dere beslutning at see Tiiden an før De vel have noget afsendt fra Rom – hvelket jeg finder meget reimlig – Jeg har saaledes i betragtning af Tiiden rne og Omstændighederne solgt for belleg Pris Figurne som jeg De veed jeg havde telbudet Comessionen for Slots bygningen i Kiøb og som nu telhøre nu Prens Botbus – Jeg har den senner Tiid havt den fornøelse at bidrage til hr. Rauchs Lykke, ved det at jeg i mit Brev tel Kongen af Prøysen angaaende Indbydelse tel Dronnengen Monument, ytterede: at jeg fandt det var ubellig at paataage mig et saadandt Arbeæ[de] da han selv havde egenlandes Dugeleg Kunstner – Ifølge heraf for bleven besked til hr Rauch
Høystærede Hr. Etatzraad!
Your two letters have
I have received your dear letters with true joy pleasure; as I from them see that you your health you rather well is noticeably better, and it will always please me to hear immensely to hear that that you are in good health.
I have received your dear letters with true pleasure, as I from them see that your health, dear Sir, is noticeably better and it will always please me immensely to hear that you are in good health
Your decision to wait and see before you want anything dispatched from Rome – which I find very reasonable – Considering the times and circumstances I have for example sold at a low price the figures which I you know I had offered to the Building Commission for Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen and which now which now belong to prince Putbus – Lately I have had the pleasure to contribute to the happiness of Mr Rauch, by expressing in my letter to the King of Prussia regarding the invitation to the queen’s monument that I found it would be unfair to take upon myself such a work as he himself had capable home artists – As a consequence of this the message was given to Mr Rauch.
Most esteemed Etatsråd,
