Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt from 1739 to 1768 who was known as the 'Hunting Landgrave' because of his passion for hunting (1691-1768). LS in German, one page both sides, 8.75 x 13.5, April 3, 1737. Letter to the Count of Virmont, expressing great surprise and pleasure over the prompt administration of justice in the Babenhausen case and a simultaneous decision on another matter. He sees it as an indication of the count's fairness and goodwill toward him and his offspring as they continue to pursue the matter.
