Thank you for this! Some of it (like the thin grey hair being powdered and curled) I had run into, and Strizky for example I'd seen written as Strutski, but certainly not all of it, and I didn't know what the source of any of this was. It's good to know!
maybe the whim struck him on one of those lovely evenings sitting out there, and he made a remark to that effect to a visitor, but I can assure you it really was no more than that
WHAT. What about the WHOLE VAULT he had constructed all the way back in the 1740s??? >:-(
It's basically "Who was the greatest? FRITZ! Fuck Yeah!"
LOLOL. Der Einzige! My fave.
Alas, no mentioning as to what became of the dogs in the entire text that I could see!

I know. Kletschke sounds otherwise like a great, standup guy in the wiki entry Felis linked, campaigning tirelessly for direly needed reform schools, but that claim is a giant whopper. Even Mnager's "maybe he changed his mind late in the day?" is more of an effort to get around the "current day monarch, who is paying my salary and whom I want more money from for my big school project did go directly against wish from dead monarch" problem. There's just no way laudatory to both Kings you can say "and then FW2 must have thought, fuck you, Uncle Fritz, I know the perfect way to thank you for a life time of verbal abuse and a childhood spent in terror of you and all those teachers you ordered to taunt me as often as possible! I'll put your dead body next to your Dad's for the rest of eternity!"
It's a shame no one mentions the dogs. The dogs are important! We want to know!
Yeah, everyone writing was kind of stuck in a tight spot there. That said, if you *must* flatter both monarchs (and I accept that in Prussia, you must), Formey's approach of "LA LA LA what escape attempt? BECAUSE OF REASONS, Keith had to leave his post at Wesel," is, while definitely frustrating to us, at least not a lie of commission.

I know! Maybe one day we'll turn it up. Anybody know where we can find EC letters to her family from the late 1780s? Ferdinand's still alive, maybe she mentioned it to him.

Alas! That was indeed one of our questions.
