We have fully concentrated forces of nearly seventy thousand men

with which to attack and defeat the enemy should he cross the

Lech. Also, as we are masters of Ulm, we cannot be deprived of

be fully equipped, and shall then, in conjunction with it, easily

find a way to prepare for the enemy the fate he deserves.
