Lavisse also says in this paragraph that it wasn't just George that FW beat up while staying with his grandparents, but the "Prince of Courlande" he had to be pried away from because he had him by the hair and wouldn't let go. Now I have to wonder which prince of Courlande. Future (in)famous de facto ruler of Russia who was 2 years younger than FW? Or some other one?
You mean this guy? Sounds about right, seeing that he spent part of his childhood in the Prussia of F1.
Also, lol about tiny terror FW. Clearly, everyone lucked out that him and Peter I weren't quite the same generation and never met as Children, only as adults.
The very similar phrasing: must admit I've done that in some letters, too. Though it does show how highly Fritz thinks of Suhm. Having had a brief glance at the Algarotti letters, I see he also writes to A. about Suhm's death, very touchingly.
