Harris, St. Petersburg to Grantham (3, Private) Is Grantham sure of the King of Prussia? He is a hypocrite and Harris would trust him "like an adder fang'd". Since the death of M. de Maurepas he has lost his interest at Versailles. Harris is at a loss "how the present dark wall which covers the political system of this side of Europe will clear up and who the Emperor means to deceive - for deceive someone - he must".
