Still going! Still clearing Fritz's valet/chamberlain Fredersdorf's name from the calumny enshrined in wikipedia that he was dismissed for financial irregularities!
But in all sympathy, this really must have been a baptism of fire for Leining: taking over after an embezzlement scandal during war for a king with a touchy temper. *And* he was apparently pulled out of the army and not the civil service. No wonder he's writing to Fredersdorf all the time!
Quite. Even if he was career minded, this was probably not how he envisioned a promotion! BTW, it also says something about Fredersdorf that even in a very ill state, he's still willing to help Leining out instead of saying "don't bother me anymore, I'm done with this shit". I mean, it's not like Fredersdorf has anything to lose by refusing to help, or to win by helping. He simply does it as a favour to Leining, to the state and to Fritz. (And presumably is grateful to get news about Fritz beyond army bulletins, too.)

Omg, I know so many people like that, and if you spend time on Ask a Manager, you'll see lots more. :'D I think there's a certain *type* who has a finger in every pie, and who is also the kind of person you keep consulting after they retire, and who is also the kind of person who will keep responding after they retire. And that is very Fredersdorf.
