Forgot to include this in my other comments, but: we have yet another explanation of why Algarotti leaves Prussia (other than Fritz/Voltaire Implosion, micro-Managing boss and not wanting to become the next Marwitz). Fredersdorf Letters Editor thinks Algarotti left because he couldn't score with the dancer Barbarina, the famous "Ballerina of Sanssouci". Unrequited love sent him away!
(Have I mentioned yet that this Editor is very much of the NO HOMO ANYWHERE IN FREDERICIAN PRUSSIA!!!! persuasion?)
