Re: Early Fritz letter to Voltaire / Random Thoughts

I do not know of any earlier alchemy references, but I also feel like I'm not really the person to ask here, given that all I've read that's earlier than 1732 is everything you guys posted on the time period plus all the Fritz-FW and one or two Grumbkow letters. :D I'll certainly keep an eye out during future readings, though.

Thanks! Unfortunately, most of his correspondence from pre-1732 was destroyed, but perhaps there's an envoy report or something.

And until we find counterevidence, I'm reading between the lines and seeing Fredersdorf. :)
