1807-STORY:
1)
We were at war with the English at that time and alert against other countries in that matter
The king had a sister, who had marri
ed a man to whom the Crown-Prince has some doubts with.
The pair lived in Augustenborg Castle in South-Jutland and the prince send Hans Staal von Lytzen to Augustenborg under covering, that he w
as a new Cavalry man.
Hans's job however was to report to the court what letters left the Castle, and he had a connection with the postal service arranged, so he was able to read the letters, be
fore they was sent to the receivers.
This was his one task
 
2)
At the same time it was necessary to move many troops to Copenhagen to defend the town against the English,
who again was attacking Denmark,
and Hans Staal von Lytzen had the task to make the troop transport succeed.
this is why he got the Passport, you have, telling from where he got the troop
s and to where they was moved.
I think the paper is from Jacob Adolph von Lytzen who must have delt with the case when Hans Staal von Lytzen died.
