Oh, this is awesome, thanks so much! <333 I'm so in awe of your ability to figure out these squiggles. Do you mind if I put this in Rheinsberg? We have so much Katte material there and this will make a lovely addition!

Is there a difference between "Rhl" and "RTL"? RTL makes sense as Reichsthaler to me, but is Rhl the same thing?

Semi-related, I was reading more Kloosterhuis yesterday (actually, I was working on my Peter Keith essay, woot) and saw that in the inventory of Peter's rooms after he deserted, there's this entry:

eine Stiefeletten-Haden [!]

I know "Stiefel" is boot, obviously, but can someone help me out with what Kloosterhuis is so surprised at here?

I wouldn't mind ^^ Maybe it's useful to someone, idk

Aaaaah I just noticed that I forgot to change one RTL to Rhl in the transcript... whoops. It's definitely used as an abbreviation for Reichsthaler here. I was unsure how to transcribe it and thus started by writing RTL, but decided that since it looks like Rhl I should write Rhl. The thing I'm working on now has the little abbreviation sign instead of letters, I don't yet know what I'll use for that :'D

It'll be useful to future!me for sure! Rheinsberg tags are how I find things. :D
