I'm gonna reply to the previous post comments but I guess new letter-reading, etc. should go in this one :)

(German wiki, you should know that if Voltaire uses this particular quote, he's being sarcastic, not dismayed, but apparantly you don't.)

I see your tone-deaf German wiki and raise you English wiki:

In the spring of 1730 Frederick revealed to Katte that he had a plan to flee to Great Britain as a way to leave his harsh and despotic father, who he affectionately called "My Dear Papa."

Affectionately. I ask you.
