You could add the entire first letter to Voltaire who is but the latest Socrates candidate, after all.
Yeah, I was thinking that even in 1750, when Fritz will *only* talk literature with Voltaire and will not be guided by anyone politically, he still wants a teacher of poetry composition!
But yes, your point about Manteuffel and Fritz's issues with anyone having authority or influence over him is very accurate. Big difference between Manteuffel and Suhm.
(Bronisch would eagerly add that sure, he may write that to Suhm in July, but he's already written to Manteuffel in April "moi, qui suis votre disciple".)
So, like, at the same time of his life, Bronisch. :PP
Suhm was...a low-key personality, whom nobody could suspect of dominating Fritz.
No, no, other way around. Though I suspect he and Fredersdorf had in common the ability to convince Fritz he was totally in charge while couching their ideas in a way he could accept.
So I can see Fritz minding the old Dessauer's dig. Not as a sole reason to break things off, absolutely not, but as one of several factors.

Yep, makes perfect sense.
