Letter from Cleomenes and Camp Scene in 1730
The piece opens with Cleomenes replying to Budgell's accusations and defending himself against charges of disrespect and misrepresentation. It then continues with a long Saxon Camp description at Muhlberg, detailing the grand royal encampment, tents, guards, and banquet arrangements. A further excerpt includes the Cardinal de Rohan's speech to the Sacred College upon Benedict XIII’s death, urging the election of a pope and praising the late pontiff's virtues.
