Letter to his cousin, the Kurfurst or prince-elector, pointing out that the Upper Rhenish District Regiment of Zweibrucken has been taken care of following the death of the Duke of Zweibrucken Liebden and that he, Ludwig, having served this district well militarily for many years, now has a new occasion for applying his patriotic leanings for the good of the district, and asking that the Kurfurst declare his support on this occasion as well, in view of their long-standing friendship. In very good condition, with wear and chipping to the edges, and partial separations to folds.
