I suspect Fritz is actually medically concerned, but then using the medical part to justify his main concern, which is, "I'm still your top priority, right? Right???"
LOL, yes, that's what I figured, too.
The 20th could be a typo, or the 30th could be a typo/misreading that Fahlenkamp copied from Richter.
Either is possible, argh. At least it can't be another case of Gregorian vs Julian calendar, since Protestant Brandenburg had adopted the Gregorian Calendar by then, too.
So...is she being defensive because when she was writing, there were already claims about him not having been in favor? Because that seems like an interesting thing to interject into his death description. "Fredersdorf was Fritz's favorite, so Fritz was worried about his health and didn't want to let us get married" is an important part of the plot; "Fredersdorf was in favor when he died!" is...lacking context unless there are already rumors going around.
There were. You're forgetting Glasow! Lehndorff definitely is under the impression Glasow was one of the reaosns why Fredersdorf quit his job and thinks Fritz traded one for the other in his journals. Henckel von Donnersmarck also thinks Glasow "got rid of Fredersdorf" on his rise to power. Both are contemporay writers writing independently from each other in their journals. Which means there must have been a rumor that Fredersdorf either quit because of Glasow or got traded in or both, and I suspect that's what Caroline is argueing against implicitly, saying, no, he died very much in favor.

Huh, I had never interpreted the Lehndorff passage to mean Fredersdorf was out of favor, just that Fredersdorf stepped down voluntarily because he didn't like how much favor Glasow was getting. But Donnersmarck saying Glasow did get rid of Fredersdorf I had forgotten.
got rid of the treasurer Fredesdorf who thus was dismissed shortly before his death
Yeah, okay, so that rumor was definitely going around, and is independent of whether Fredersdorf had been accused of embezzlement and dismissed for that reason.

Excellent, thank you for reminding me!
