Re: Grumbkow and Katte

1) You're right! I was being sloppy and going too fast. Thank you for the correction.

So basically, it's like Hans Heinrich's letter to his brother Heinrich Christoph: everyone hoping that boy has gotten himself out of there.

KAAATTTEEEE!

Which leaves us with the much debated question as to why Katte didn‘t leave.

2) Yeah. I've seen *so* many reasons given for why he didn't. All I can figure is that there were many reasons for staying, and many reasons for going, and he didn't make up his mind to go in time. Which reasons were foremost in his mind, I do not know (and I look askance at anyone who claims to, as numerous people positively assert one reason or another).
