potential readers only casually interested in Frederick the Great before reading the diaries might hardly remember he had siblings other than Wilhelmine

I admit that a year ago, before I started refreshing myself by reading bios and Wikipedia, and certainly before our salon, my "Quick: enumerate Fritz's siblings!" reaction would have been, "He had a brother whose son inherited! The brother must have had a name, but damned if I know what it is." I'm trying to remember if I would have remembered even Wilhelmine that many years after last reading up on Fritz. EC I knew about, but the siblings were all blanks in my mind.

(Truly, our salon is an earthly paradise.)

to "...and now me and Louise didn't even get a condolence letter!"

To the disappeared-from-the-archives "...and now I realize I didn't know how good I had it when I didn't get condolence letters!" inflammatory letter.

I doubt your avarage newspaper reviewer is aware there's a thriving Fritz slash fandom who'd be into a bi chamberlain in love with his younger brother.

Clearly this is a situation that needs to be remedied!
