"Nach Abschrift der Cabinetskanzlei," "Nach Aufzeichnung des Cabinetssecretärs"
Now that's another thing. This to me sounds indicating that what Preuss had at his disposal were copies of the original letters - whoever wrote these - , because the archive system demanded each letter to and from the king be copied. "Abschrift" = copy.
"Der Zusatz" = The addition; "Der Zusatz de la main propre du roi" - the addition in the King's own hand.
"Eigenhändig": in his own hand.
Ausfertigung in this context: probably clean copy following a draft. I.e. the draft might have had abandoned sentences, changed phrases etc., but it was never sent and destroyed after the clean copy was made.
This being said, I think the political correspondance letters to Heinrich - since a lot of these letters contain key military information during the war and political dynamite like the Poland negotiations or Swedish politics in peace - might have been in cyphre, then decoded into a clean copy for the archive, so I bet a secretary is involved. (Not so much when Fritz is just talking philosophy or history in the 1780s, of course.)
