LOL! I must admit I am side-eyeing this a little :P
Side-eye it a lot! We know that lots of people (like Kalckreuth) knew Fritz talked about poisoning himself, even if they presumably hadn't seen the box.
Remember this?
The King had told Prince Heinrich repeatedly that he'd poison himself if the news arrived that the Duke of Bevern was forced to cross the Oder. (...) Returning to the camp I met Cocceji, the AD to Field Marshal Keith, my great friend. I told him the news, and added: "So, how fares Mr. Poison?" Cocceji replied, laughing: "He lost his recipe."
