Re: AW readthrough: The in-laws

It's been a while till I read the marriage-relevant part of the memoirs, I honestly don't recall whether she says she told or she hadn't.

Also, judging from that letter, Fritz *isn't* saying "don't believe it." He's saying, "Don't do it, no matter what."

This is true, and when I looked it up again for you to translate, I saw it, too. Incidentally, whoever smuggled that letter must have been brave, because that's definitely not the kind of thing FW would want Fritz communicate to Wilhelmine! Volz can't date it more than "spring 1731, before the Berlin revue". So two or maybe three more months until August and the big submission on the one hand, Grumbkow's "Boundaries!" advice on the other...
