Ah, yes, the beginnings of the Mafia AU money thing. I recently came across the 1732 letter exchange that seems to have started it and was very amused, both by the way Seckendorff writes - "well, since I'm very invested in a good relationship between you and your father, we don't want him to find out about the new debt, do we? here's a detailed instruction on how to receive and spend the money. please destroy this letter and sent me proof" - and by the fact that Fritz apparently didn't destroy it and debuted (?) his 'secret code' of 'books' and 'poems' in his reply.
re: The Henriade catch, just to be clear, it was mentioned in a footnote on the letter, I just applied it to the eulogy.
