Note 48 — LETTER IV.
Reading edition
The Duke of Blanckenbourg being become Duke of Wolfembuttle, by the Death of his Brother, has scarce made any Alteration in his Court. The Persons who were heretofore his Creatures and Favourites continue in the same Employments. The Dutchess Dowager remains at Brunswic, in the fine House which the late Duke caus'd to be built; and of which the said Prince made a Present to her, with all its rich Furniture. This Princess is immensely rich, and lives with very great Dignity. Her Steward is M. de Wederkopf, who was formerly Privy Counsellor to the King of Denmark, and his Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of France.
