We came through Benzen to Lettel, four miles. Here we halted a day, to learn the road to Hammer, in Brandenburg, where my sister lived. I happened luckily to meet with the wife of a Prussian soldier who lived at Lettel, and belonged to Kolschen, where she was born a vassal of my sister's husband. I told her who I was, and she became our guide. Feb. 26. To Kurschen and Falkenwalde. Feb. 27.
I shall now continue my journal: deceived in the aid I expected, I was obliged to change my plan, and go to my mother, who lived in Prussia, nine miles beyond Konigsberg. Feb. 28. We continued, tired, anxious, and distressed, at Lettel. March 1. We went three miles to Pleese, and on the 2nd, a mile and a half farther to Meseritz. March 3. Through Wersebaum to Birnbaum, three miles. March 4.
