'The Boston branch has reason to be proud. Even if from the fifth letter onwards it's all about the bills Glasow left behind, it still demonstrates that Fredersdorf continues to be a trusted individual whose expertise is wanted, as opposed to a disgraced former favourite whose disgrace had to be covered up.

I have a million things to do today, but I'll try to post tomorrow or in the days thereafter with more about Frederick Hervey.

Indeed! Plus the tidbits about his (Leining's) authorized marriage and the Parisian bankers responsible for pension-paying were interesting.

ETA: Also, no worries, it's Monday, so I might not have time to reply until this weekend anyway, what with work, Danish (still in progress! read several pages of history yesterday), handwriting, and Peter Keith. Take your time. :)

Truly, we did not dream what gems lay in waiting from the fifth letter onwards!
