[personal profile] mildred_of_midgard transcribed the reports written by Colonel Du Moulin and Envoy Meinerzhagen to Frederick William describing their failed attempts to capture Peter Keith when he escaped in 1730.

Du Moulin's handwriting and spelling are unusual, and part of one page is ripped with missing words, so this is more of a "you get the gist" translation than anything complete or high quality.

Meinerzhagen, August 15 )

FW replies saying he's sending Du Moulin to help in the pursuit, and they're to work together, and also, "As to the difficulty that he can't be arrested because he's only a deserter, that's easily lifted, because he's committed the crime of high treason." I.e., conspiring with Fritz.
