In a hurry, due to being on the (professional) road: this is delightful, go Fredersdorf for outplaying Unger, awww at the dogs, at the moment I can’t recall Fritz mentioning Fredersdorf in conversation to other people getting reported elsewhere.
Also: “made his luck in Küstrin” - on the one hand, hm, points to Küstrin origin tale, otoh, not necessarily, since as we said general knowledge was that Fritz was imprisoned there, and if you only know he met Fredersdorf in 1731, you’d conclude it must have been there.
Fritz took Heinrich with him in May/June 1746? Good grief. That was after the Marwitz letters in February/March that very same year. And if he talks about Heinrich needing to get married just two months later, yikes. No wonder Heinrich gave him the silent treatment. Reminder, this is also the same year where Heinrich will ask for travel permission (for “military education”) in autumn and he and Fritz have the “we share the same coldness” and “if this is love, it must be metaphysical” exchange as a result.
