Incidentally, had to hit the road before getting much further with the Heinrich biography, but I was curious whether there was more of why Ernst von Lehndorff, if he was EC's chamberlain and EC wasn't much around Fritz post-1740, was to tuned into this kind of delicate and spicy gossip, and lo, but he (Lehndorff) and Heinrich later (starting ca. 1750) had a life long friends-with-benefits relationship which was a bit uneven in that Lehndorff pined for more - he really seems to have fallen for Heinrich - whereas Heinrich liked him and kept up friendly correspondance etc., but doesn't come across as being in love (just not adverse to the occasional tumble).

Now, what is your take on these letters, i.e. what is going on inside Fritz? Because that's not FW roleplay, for starters.
