Autograph letter signed : Leipzig, to Mrs. Hewitt, [year unknown] July 3.

Saying that he has been staying in Dresden and working from Veronese and Titian; saying that in Berlin he saw 15,000 troops under mobilization and he "never imagined to find so fine an army--all the men so healthy and so colossal--and longing to fight anybody. A grand national game it is of war--highly moral and instructive to everybody and generally beneficial. Can you at all fancy what the world might have been by this time if the money, time and strength, which men have employed since they became Christians, in killing each other, had been spent in helping each other?;" saying "we have seen galleries, driven about the promenades, dined and gone to sleep--or not to sleep--daily--like machines."
