Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 42

[cahn]

Last post, we had (among other things) Danish kings and their favorites; Louis XIV and Philippe d'Orléans; reviews of a very shippy book about Katte, a bad Jacobite novel, and a great book about clothing; a fic about Émilie du Châtelet and Voltaire; and a review of a set of entertaining Youtube history videos about Frederick the Great.

Re: Leining to Fredersdorf: Letter 3

[mildred_of_midgard]

You know, at this point, what I'm most curious about is whether or not Glasow in addition to the embezzling did some spying for the Saxons.

Sadly, I don't think Leining is going to tell us. It's just our luck that he promises Fredersdorf a complete account, and then doesn't have time to put it in writing and sends a messenger instead!!

Heinrich: In the light of later events, I'm restraining myself not to comment. At least Kaphengst would never have spied on me!

Fritz: There was nothing to spy on. And given that Reisewitz already embezzled your money when you were still in your 20s, you better not comment.
