Re: Fritz Mystery Affliction January 1736

Fritz couldn't write to anyone about Fredersdorf's death even after the guy had publicly been first minister for 15 years and Lehndorff was calling him the Prussian Pompadour, because Fritz didn't have a vocabulary for how much Fredersdorf had meant to him

I'd been wondering about the lack of Fredersdorf in Fritz' letters and this is a really fascinating explanation.
