Still going! Still clearing Fritz's valet/chamberlain Fredersdorf's name from the calumny enshrined in wikipedia that he was dismissed for financial irregularities!
BTW, this means not only that the „was made to retire because of embezzling“ theory is wrong, but also so was Lehndorff‘s and Henckel von Donnersmarck‘s guess that not the only reason, but definitely factor was „jealousy of Glasow“ (Lehndorff) „Glasow got rid of him“ (Henckel von Donnersmarck). I mean, we were as sure that Fritz didn‘t kick Fredersdorf out for the shiny red Porsche, err, hot young model, as we were hoping he wasn‘t fired for Kiekemal (or Des Champs‘ salary), but it‘s still nice to have it in writing that no, his health was really that bad, he still was trusted, and Fritz still fretted on his his behalf. Even mid war.
That's true! This correspondence keeps getting better and better.
(And then comes Fredersdorf encouraging her to ride so she wouldn‘t have to sit at his sick bed all the time etc.) As we said, it‘s only human not to be the perfect patient, and clearly he felt safe enough for some outbursts while she still generally was happy
Yeah. :( but also <3.
not just as a young woman who didn‘t know any better but as an old woman looking back on her long life and experience and still concluding Fredersdorf was the best.
Fredersdorf: favorite husband of both his spouses. :)
