Woooow, you guys have no idea how excited I get when we turn up something like this that we've been looking and looking for! Buying this book was a gamble, and it paid off. This is a gold mine! Enough dates to make even me happy!
I, uh, was going to reply in full, but I now have 33 tabs dedicated to the subject of Pfeiffer's dates open, and now I must get off the computer. But! I have a 3-day weekend, so expect more.
One question: does she have a source for the April 9, 1757 date? Because the letter from Fredersdorf's successor is dated April 3, which I've always taken as another strike against the claim of dismissal for embezzlement on April 9.
