October 10, 1901
Prince Friedrich August of Saxony, the 37-year-old son of Prince Georg, who is the only brother of the King of Saxony has been "relieved of all active duty in connection with the army" so that he may "devote himself exclusively to the study of various branches of the administration" of Saxony, writes the Marquise de Fontenoy. The prince, second in line to the throne, is taking on these new responsibilities to "qualify himself for the business of rulership."
He is married to Archduchess Luise of Austria, and they are the parents of several sons and one daughter. Friedrich August is said to be "an amiable-looking and rather scanty-haired man," who has a "perpetual smile," which "gives the idea of being possessed of a sunny nature."
