Re: The Heinrich Letters - Our Younger Days

Still, not even politically relevant letters like some of the exchanges about nephew Gustav and Ulrike are there

Oh, this may be because many of the politically relevant letters to Heinrich, AW, and Ulrike are in the 46 VOLUMES OF political correspondence rather than the personal. For instance, the "none of his father's bad qualities" letter to Ulrike about Henricus Minor's death is in the political correspondence.

Unfortunately, only about half the political correspondence has been converted to a text format that could be fed into Google Translate. The other half is scans only, and not scans that would be easy to OCR either (i.e. some of it is single-column and some double-column). I'm also still mad about it ending in 1782, the subsequent two volumes going up to 1783 not being digitized, and the remaining 3 years still unpublished.
