Voltaire would observe that he may have been the latest, but he turned out to be the only one who lasted, as evidenced by the fact that Fritz ditched Wolff easily as a philosophical guide whereas he spent the rest of his life following Voltaire's taste in literature, and both reading his books and alternatingly cursing and praising his person till the day he died. And hey, no one complained their correspondence was boring or dared to edit it in ways where mostly Fritz' letters are there. :)
