In parts:
"Mein bester Obrist,
Seit wir uns nicht gesehen, haben Sie mein verehrter Freund, eine andere Stellung erhalten - in dem Sie einem ganz selbstständigen Wirkungs Kreise vorstehen; u. auch ohne die schönen Kabinetsbäder die Sie erhalten u. wahrhaft verdient haben, bin ich der Ueberzeugung, daß Sie mit Liebe und Feuer Eifer, zum Wohl der Armee thätig sein u. die wissenschaftliche u. praktische Heranbildung der Ihnen anvertrauten jungen Leute zu Officiren erreichen werden - u. in der Voraussetzung daß Sie bei /
bei entstehenden Kriegen, wieder in der Armee zurücktreten werden - wünsche ich Ihnen von Herzen Glück zu dieser vorüber gehenden Stellung - […]"

Translated:
"My best colonel,
Since we did not see you, my dear friend, you have been given a different position - in which you preside over a completely independent sphere of influence; and even without the beautiful cabinets you have received and truly deserved, I am convinced that you will work with love and fire zeal, for the good of the army, and achieve the scientific and practical training of the young people entrusted to you - and in the condition that you will resign /
in the coming wars, again in the army - I wish you a lot of luck to this temporary position ..."
