Note 900 — Chapter V · (continued 2)
Reading edition
Cf. Lowell's Hessians, ch. 8; Eelking's Hülfstruppen, i. 113, 132. The oft-printed letter of the Prince of Hesse-Cassel to Baron Hohendorf or Hozendorf is a forgery (Kapp's Soldatenhandel, 2d ed. 199). A court-martial of the Hessian officers was held at Cassel in 1782, and the report of it is in the Penna. Mag. of Hist., vii. 45 (April, 1883), a paper of much use to the writer of the preceding narrative.
