[148] "If I write at all, it is not possible for me to write
otherwise than just as I think and feel."--Lessing to his father,
21st December, 1767.
[149] "I am sure that Kleist would rather have taken another wound
with him into his grave than have such stuff jabbered over him (_sich
solch Zeug nachschwatzen lassen_)." Lessing to Gleim, 6th September
1759.
[150] Letter to Klotz, 9th June, 1766.
[151] Herr Stahr heads the fifth chapter of his Second Book, "Lessing
at Wittenberg. December, 1751, to November, 1752." But we never feel
quite sure of his dates. The Richier affair puts Lessing in Berlin in
December, 1751, and he took his Master's degree at Wittenberg, 29th
April, 1752. We are told that he finally left Wittenberg "toward the
end" of that year.
