Wait! Breaking news! I was hoping there would be a follow-up about this latest development, and sure enough, there's a July letter that starts, "I received your letter of the 27th of the previous month about the Algarotti letter" and something something Abbe de Prades something something "Glasows Adresse."
Okay, I guess I know what I'm deciphering next! Definite shenanigans going on here, and I hope Leining explains them clearly. I really wish we had Fredersdorf's half of the correspondence!
I also could have sworn I saw a word written in the Latin script, which usually means a proper name, that looked like "Volozer", in the same line as the word "Kaffee". Could this be Völker? I will add that part to my list.
You know, there are 23 pages left, including some really crowded ones where the margins are filled up with horizontal lines and such. I'm seriously entertaining the possibility of taking a full week off work just to work through this correspondence. Hopefully by the end I would be significantly faster. *ponders*
