Abstract
Kurtz's letter to the emperor from 29 August could not reach its destination due to the impassability of the roads, so a copy is attached to this letter. Since then Kurtz has had another audience with the pasha of Buda, but in vain has he tried to persuade him to release him, still demanding the arrival of the commissaries and the punishment of the culprits of the last raid. The emperor had repeatedly promised the pasha to send the commissaries for a long time, but their delay and the clashes in the hinterland in the meantime gave the impression that the emperor was not serious about peace. A large army has gathered at Buda, and the pasha of Bosnia and the Tartar auxiliaries were preparing for war, against the Ottoman peace wishes. The pasha of Buda is only keeping his troops together until St Demeter's Day. If neither a campaign nor a peace treaty is concluded by then, the pasha will be accused by his enemies at the Porte of having been bribed by the emperor. By withholding Kurtz, the pasha is seeking to prove his innocence to the Porte in this unfortunate situation. According to Kurtz, the delay of the commissaries would discredit the emperor's word and the assembled armies might even break the peace. In addition, the pasha asks for 5-6,000 talers in exchange for the safety of the envoy. Kurtz recommends the courier Christoph Ganawitzer, worthy of a gift for his service throughout the mission. The envoy encloses with the letter his accounts of expenses. He also encloses a letter from the pasha of Buda to the emperor, identical in content to the one he wrote to Michael Adolph von Althan, and the usual Ottoman complaints about the border.
