Literally none. Fritz' correspondence on E-Enlightenment is not comprehensive at all. Right now, it is mostly focused around Voltaire
Ah, okay, didn't realize it was so Voltaire-focused.
have had all spelling and grammar corrected (aka all of Preuss)
You know, I should have guessed this. It's too regular. Well, thanks, I guess, Preuss? On principle, I prefer diplomatic editions, but seeing as how we're relying on Google translate, silent corrections have probably been a godsend.
I do wish there was a bit of funding or interest to go through and digitize at least the correspondence to and between his siblings.
So say we all!
I could have sworn that I read in a biography or something that after Fredersdorf died, Friedrich sent a letter to his widow asking for their correspondence to be returned. His widow returned most of the letters, which were burned, but secretly kept some for herself, which now survive in the archives. I can't remember where that information comes from or if it's accurate? Any ideas?
We've obtained the Richter correspondence from 1926, which was "lightly censored", and an additional letter in Burchardt, and that's all. Too bad E-Enlightenment doesn't have more.
Maybe there's more correspondence in here? Or not?
I've actually been meaning to ask selenak to check that out and tell us whether it's any good or not. It's at Stabi. The only reason I haven't asked is that I've been requesting she read about 1000 books per day, so I have this backlog of things I haven't requested yet. ;) But might as well do it now! selenak, there's this 2016 book on Fritz and Fredersdorf that may be terrible or gold or consist only of things we already know, only one way to find out!
Next question for your gracious self, gambitten: does E-Enlightenment have the complete Lady Mary Wortley Montagu correspondence as recently published in 3 volumes?

Yep, that came up in our discussion here!
