Re: Oster Wilhelmine readthrough

In 1743, Wilhelmine's daughter's future husband's mother gets to make a copy of La Pucelle when Voltaire and Fritz visit Bayreuth?

Do we know if/when Fritz found out? (Also, Pleschinski says that Voltaire visited Bayreuth without Fritz, is he wrong about that?)

I thought that was just a remark that would be snide in a very classist era (which it was also that!)

Same here! Great to get more context on that.
