HUMBOLDT TO VARNHAGEN.

BERLIN, _May 30th, 1846_.

Perhaps, my dear friend, it will not be without some interest to you to

possess a copy of the poem of the Crown-Prince of Bavaria. The language

is less crude than _that of_ Walhalla; and some passages show a good

deal of feeling, if but little poetical fervor.

Yours,

A. V. HUMBOLDT.
