When I saw the date, I immediately assumed war-related, because Fritz is fond of writing "You already know what's going on here" to his correspondents in relation to the war. And if that's a game that means "a saying when several people unite to ruin another," that's additional evidence, because any time Fritz goes to war after the first time, it's all about how everyone is ganging up on him (see also the Maenads of the Seven Years' War, ripping poor Orpheus apart).
Fritz continues not to slut-shame women! He's oddly good about that, considering the ways in which he's awful about women.
They perpetuate the species, unlike these fanatical politicians who destroy it with their fatal wars.
Also, I'm torn on how much self-criticism is in that line. I would assume the context is self-pitying and it's aimed at Kaunitz et al., if not for the one line in Catt's diary (pretty sure it's the diary) in which he says, "The Queen of Hungary and I cause a lot of misery with our stubbornness."
Re: Camas Letters II - Countess Camas Part One (1744/45)
As you can see, some of it is unclear to me, because I'm not sure if the entire note is about Rottembourg's illness, or if that's just a "this is also happening" info and there is something else going on that I don't understand for lack of context. I initally thought it might be war-related somehow (which starts a couple days later) - not least because when I googled "jouer au roi dépouillé" I found this definition game where one undresses dress after dress the king of the game and, figuratively, a saying when several people unite to ruin another (see also: the title of this French Revolution Louis Le Dernier Caricature) - but I really don't know.

Okay, meeting starting! Bye!
