Still going! Still clearing Fritz's valet/chamberlain Fredersdorf's name from the calumny enshrined in wikipedia that he was dismissed for financial irregularities!
Paragraph 1: complaining about how the "Kiensberg lease", which I think is a contract to supply the army (with horses? horse fodder?), is being handled badly, and he washes his hands of the whole affair if it keeps up like this and they can't get somebody new to take over the contract.
Paragraph 2: Prague's going to surrender any minute!
Postscript 1: "When I handed over the last letter, His Majesty asked if you were still alive and if I had gotten any news about you, but because the last two letters didn't contain any information on this point, I couldn't give him sufficient updates. I therefore beseech you not to forget to include this point occasionally."
FRITZ! That is the most Fritzian thing ever, he always wants reassurance that people are okay (and still love him).
Postscript 2: Anderson (the valet who was dismissed in disfavor shortly before the war, then recalled after Glasow's fall) arrived, Leining can't foresee yet if that's going to be a good thing or a bad thing.

Selena can refine/correct if necessary.
