Still going! Still clearing Fritz's valet/chamberlain Fredersdorf's name from the calumny enshrined in wikipedia that he was dismissed for financial irregularities!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME, he wrote that to BESS??

Yes. I think Fritz has competition in the clueless letter to family members writing. (And like I said, Frederick Hervey has no traumatic childhood excuse.)

Yes, for sure. Extremely entertaining to read about, extreme jerk to everyone around him. Except I guess William Hamilton. Well, I did enjoy this very much; thank you again for satisfying my curiosity :DD

You're very welcome, and thanks to Mildred and yourself as well, otherwise I never would have learned about him, either, or put two and two together and realized he was Bess Foster's father.

Two scenes from the movie The Duchess:

Bess and Georgiana (and the Duke) meet for the first time

Bess seduces Georgiana (or at the very least teaches her that sex, which Georgiana until now has only had the unpleasant marital type of, can be fun, with, err, demonstrations - just in the interest of education, of course!)
