Wow, felis, you continue to be quite the detective!!
Oettinger does say Barbarina went separately, while on vacation, not as part of the royal entourage, so that's entirely possible...or it's possible that she wasn't there at all.
Wow, that list, though. Rothenburg, not surprising, we know he was sickly and would die within a few years. Eichel, Pollnitz, Fouquet...I'm seeing names I recognize.
An Ingersleben, not sure if it's *the* Ingersleben? Okay, looking back through old salon posts, looks like it's *the* Ingersleben, aka Teacups Georg.
A Borck, god knows which Borck.
The Holstein-Beck Duke looks like this guy, who will die in 1749.
Not seeing Fredersdorf...did we determine he only went in 1744? I remember he was there in 1744 to mislead everyone about Fritz's diplomatic-military plans!
Re: Danish kings and their favorites: Oettinger's History of the Danish Court
Yeah, Fredersdorf was only there in 1744, he went to Aachen in 1746. According to the spy, he did get at least one Fritz letter from Pyrmont, though, the godfather one for Biche! (Remarkable because a) semi-public enough to end up in a spy report and b) Fritz probably re-used that one for AW later. :P)

Hey, he reused the Duhan letter for Algarotti or the other way around. A thrifty letter writer he!
Btw, he‘s not the only one, and that‘s why I found it so striking when reading Willhelmine‘s letters from France and Italy not just to Fritz but to other family members to realize she doesn‘t repeat herself, instead of just coying the same touristy stuff for everyone.

We also caught him reusing a passage in letters to Suhm and Voltaire, I think it was!
