A. V. HUMBOLDT.

Increase your collection of autographs by a very agreeable letter from

the man who now lives in Brussels. The phrase “votre fortune morale” is

bloodstains! What a, year, in which all the feelings of the heart run

wild!

METTERNICH TO HUMBOLDT.

(FROM THE FRENCH.)

RICHMOND, _Sep. 17th, 1849_.
