Stratemann's account only starts in 1728, but from FW's letters to Old Dessauer, we have the following dates:
1727: in Wusterhausen from September 2nd until at least October 23rd (which covers both Freilinghausen's visit in September and Francke's in October), then there's an inconvenient gap, next letter is December 30th from Berlin
ETA: By the way, do we know for sure that Peter was already FW's page in 1727?
1728: letters from Wusterhausen September 10th and October 14th (this one includes plans to visit Dessau October 27th), letter from Potsdam November 4th, then back and forth between Berlin and Potsdam until he's in Wusterhausen again December 14th
Stratemann mentions that FW and Fritz returned to Potsdam middle of October and that FW went on a journey to Dessau/Halle/Sachsen afterwards
ETA2: Consulting our chronology tells me that they must have returned pretty much immediately after the Hubertus disaster, which was October 19th. (And then during the following trip, the Antisobres were founded.)
/sidenote: November 24th letter from Berlin has this: You'll be so good as to sent ["Keut"] back to me, he is supposed to go before the two Doctors [?], tell him he has order to order the relay horses. The footnote identifies Keut as Keith, a.k.a. Peter - if so, that would mean he accompanied FW on his journey and stayed behind in Dessau for some reason.
1729: Wusterhausen letters September 30th and October 11th, Stratemann says both FW and Fritz visit Berlin for a marriage October 13th/14th, then back to Wusterhausen, letter from Potsdam October 25th (Stratemann: FW only left Wusterhausen for a couple of days, then went back and he and the rest of the family return mid-November), Wusterhausen letters from November 1st and 16th, Stratemann say FW and Fritz visited Frankfurt on the 14th, then returned to Potsdam and stayed there for weeks, letters are from Potsdam for most of December
