So I just checked the Monarchenbriefe collection (I knew this would be worth the $30 I paid for 30 pages! :P), and the editor actually says two things (well, two things relevant to us) about the letter:
1. It was composed (verfaßt) by Seckendorff. (!!) 2. It was only handed over on October 31, when it was clear that FW would pardon Fritz.
Clear to Seckendorff, maybe.
Interestingly, this is the date the Köpenick court returned the second verdict of incompetence to try Fritz (and imprisonment for Katte).
Also, this collection includes the reply from Fritz to Charles VI, saying that he will as long as he lives do his best to demonstrate his devotion to the Emperor. But that promise dies with Charles, the editor points out.
Is this like Wilhelmine saying that her promise not to let the Marwitzes marry outside of Prussia died with FW?
