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

Yes to all of this! I almost want to say, "If you want to see how someone in disgrace is treated by Frederick, and also by sympathetic people around him, read Eva Ziebura, August Wilhelm: Prinz von Preußen, 2006." ;)

So, good news, we redeemed Fredersdorf's reputation this weekend with a lot of decipherment; bad news, I'm still way behind on comments (especially Frederick Hervey, but also including some Leining-related ones), and there is still a lot more decipherment to go. In lieu of proper comments for the time being, please continue to accept my thanks for your true heart and endless supply of the best gossip from the 18th century. ;)
