And now it's mine as well. I haven't seen any explanation as good or satisfying anywhere else, and I doubt I ever will.
November 1732: Fritz's next visit to Berlin? Where was he when he got engaged to EC and met FS?
Wasn't that in spring? I don't have the relevant books with me in Bamberg, where I am right now, but I think it was in spring. *looks up the Fritz/Wilhelmine correspondance in the Fritzian library: yes, it was March 10th 1732 (i.e. the official engangement day), with the first letter dated from Berlin to Wihelmine about the engagement visit dated March 8th. The letter praising FS as witty and charming and what not is dated March 15th. All these letters are dated from Berlin, but Suhm isn't mentioned in them, so chances are he was absent? I don't think Fritz is censoring himself on Dad's account in the letters, because his EC dissing is fairly explicit.
Suhm in my story was for you, but worked nicely as a push for Fredersdorf there as well, which I'm v.v. amused about since I could not know your tale when I wrote it!
