Fritz' 1757/1759 basically go "thanks for rooting for me, you're the best!", "Brother Wilhelm totally deserved it, whatever you say!", "Okay, did not see his death coming, but you know, evil advisors" to "want to commit suicide with me?" to "don't die, please don't die!"
Oh...Friiitz.
Wilhelmine had no chill when it came to Fritz
Yeah, I was thinking that we know she complains a lot that he doesn't write to her enough and he's forgotten her, so I think she'd be perfectly capable of holding a long-distance grudge against the Prussian Pompadour. Whether she did or not, idk, but I wouldn't rule it out just because they hardly saw each other.
The first letter Trier has between them that isn't one of the smuggled Küstrin letters goes basically like this: "Hey, sis, I'm marrying this woman I despise, but the good news is, it means now I'm allowed to write to you! [I assume we have letters starting from this date because they didn't have to be destroyed upon reading any more.] But omg, you keep listening to all this malicious gossip and accusing me of forgetting about you. I will NEVER forget you. Stop being so gullible!" And this was March 1732.
But yeah, 1758 was an emotionally topsy-turvy year for Fritz, and maybe he just really couldn't talk about Fredersdorf directly to anyone. That would be incredibly sad, if so.
