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

I would not have freaked out if Leining had not freaked out first! But after the Benda letter, omg, I see why he did! (This is why one must read the correspondence in order and not skip haphazardly around!)

IKR? He must have felt monkeypwed there for a looong moment before Fredersdorf gave all clear. Another potential edifying correspondence? Where's my popcorn. WITH COUNT ALGAROTTI? Oh noes!

ROFL.

Speaking of edifying correspondences, for an exchange between the treasurer and his predecessor that should have been boring and bureaucratic, this correspondence has been surprisingly edifying in surprisingly many ways!
