TWO:At Wesel the king met Maupertuis, to whom we have already alluded, who was then one of the greatest of European celebrities. His discovery of the flattening of the earth at the poles had given him such renown that the kings of Russia, France, and Prussia were all lavishing honors upon him. It was a great gratification to Frederick that he had secured his services in organizing the Berlin Academy. While at Wesel the king was seized by a fever, which shut him up for a time in the small chateau of Moyland. He had never yet met Voltaire, and being very anxious to see him, wrote to him as follows, under date of September 6th, 1740:
Ut sodales erat tortor, eget rhoncus nulla rutrum sit amet. Aliquam sit amet lorem dui. Nulla sagittis dolor id mi tincidunt varius. Donec quis suscipit tortor vel pellentesque libero

TWO:
Eget rhoncus nulla rutrum sit amet. Ut sodales erat tortor Aliquam sit amet lorem dui. Donec quis suscipit tortor vel pellentesque libero Nulla sagittis dolor id mi tincidunt varius

TWO:Yesterday, July 3d, the king sent for me, in the afternoon, the first time he has seen any body since the news came. I had the honor to remain with him in his closet. I must own I was most sensibly affected to see him indulging his grief, and giving way to the warmest filial affections; recalling to mind the many obligations he had to her late majesty; all she had suffered, and how nobly she had borne it; the good she did to every body;419 the one comfort he now had, that he tried to make her last years more agreeable.
