Re: Holes in the moon and magic castles, or: odds and ends in the Wilhelmine-Fritz correspondence

I didn't know that Wilhelmine actually told Fritz what she'd also written in her memoirs: that she found him changed and not the brother she knew. You guys know all the verbatim stuff here of course, but I have to say, I'm almost impressed that they managed this kind of direct, air-clearing conversation.

I didn't realize this either! Wow, that seems... almost emotionally mature of them! :P

For the duration of a couple of Voltaire letters, I thought Fritz was calling his poems "worms" indeed, which would have been in character!

Ha! That is hilarious.
