Re: Arneth-Eugene-Seckendorff

Obvious, [personal profile] cahn, because Arneth was an Austrian. He was the head of the state archives, and he published reams of historical documentation, including a 10-volume bio of MT and a ton of correspondence, which is how we know MT did not, in fact, write to Madame Pompadour. That's the reason he came to mind when Selena said "collection of Seckendorff's envoy reports and letters to Eugene."

Oh, okay! Thanks as usual for connecting the dots for me :D
