Stratemann includes a sympathy poem written for Fritz in late 1730. (I'll get to by whom and why.)

Well, aren't you the tease. :P (Kidding: I think you meant to include it and forgot?)

Anyway, I went and looked it up, and I can see why you wanted to build suspense: the Neumark War and Domain Chamber. Whose director was--

Hille?!

I did not see that one coming, I admit.

More later! In the meantime, thank you for these latest glorious envoy writeups.

re: Hille - his being according to Stratemann "an accomplished poet" in his own right certainly puts his complaints about Fritz' poetry in a new light!

Indeed! I'm dumbfounded.
