Re: Who told Voltaire?

Hey, maybe Heinrich even told him he had it from Marwitz!

Lol! Maybe so! It's my headcanon now, anyway.

It would also provide another reason why Heinrich refused to sell his Voltaire letters to Melchior Grimm when the later bought all Voltaire material he could get his hands on for Catherine, and why those letters didn't survive.

It would also provide another reason why I REALLY wish Heinrich's oral commentary to his friends while reading Voltaire's memoirs aloud had survived. :D
