The enclosed letter arrived today, sent via Glasow's address from Bologna by Count Algarotti. I do not fail to transfer the same immediately, and to assure mon cher Compère of the outstanding respect with which I shall always be

I seem to remember that the last time, we discussed whether this meant a letter from Algarotti to Glasow personally, or to Fritz via Glasow (assuming that mail addressed to the King's valet will not be as scrutinized as mail directly addressed to the King, see also parts of the Crown Prince Fritz/Voltaire letters getting published before he ever got on the throne due to indiscreet mail people, or whether it was simply about Algarotti's pension and addressed to whoever was in charge of Fritz' purse now, in this case Glasow.

Yeah, I seem to recall we decided it was probably Algarotti to Fritz via Glasow, just like Fredersdorf is writing to Fritz via Leining. (Take that, Wegfraß.)
