- (AUTONOMY OF GREECE. OTTON 1st) Letter of TRAVEL signed AIMA, written from the Waters of BOLL 24th June 1836, to his dear friend - 4pp in-8° - "...I am in a small bath of WURTEMBERG,... I pamper myself.... Recently we saw at STUTTGART the Young King of Greece (OTTON 1st); he is very tall, thin, blond, the expression on his face is soft. He is very tall, thin, blond, and the expression on his face is sweet. Everything announces in him kindness and one cannot imagine, on seeing him, that this young man... is destined to reign over this treacherous, indomitable Nation, which needs to be regenerated so as not to deserve the expression of Barbarians. The Greeks who accompany the young King make a singular contrast with him, as much by their physiognomy as by their national costume. One of the Aide-de-camp, above all, had very strange manners; at table, he sometimes forgot himself and ate with his fingers, if he liked a woman, he would stare at her... with impertinence.... This character is the nephew of the man who murdered Capo of Istria, he was himself a chief of robbers..." - [OTTON 1 (Salzburg 1815-1867) King of Greece (1832-1862), son of Ludwig I of Bavaria.
