Actually, what Seckendorff is writing to Eugene is that all the satiric pieces launched by London and Hannover - „Allesamt unwahr“ - i.e. „all untruthful“ - , are CLAIMING that FW had to bully Fritz into sleeping with EC and that he was seen walking in public through the Salztal an hour later. Seckendorff further reports that this makes FW even more pissed off at the Hannover cousins than usual and that to this hour, he hasn‘t written an official notification (i.e. a „dear bro in law, my son got married“ to them. Since Seckendorff has no problem informing Eugene whenever Fritz does pull stunts like this, and was present at the wedding, I‘m taking him at his word that it was untruthful satire. All on page 57 of the first Jessen volume.

Let me guess: Blanning‘s bad German strikes again, and he can‘t read the conditionalis or disclaimers? (The construction of the sentence is „it is claimed by satiric pieces, all untruthful, that“ etc.
