Depression caused by humiliation? I'm going to compare it to Peter never leaving his room in Dublin, just reading books all the time. Yes, he was in hiding, but you get the impression from his memoirs that he also just *really* wanted to read books all day. You likewise get the impression from all these letters that Karl was something of an introvert. Maybe a clinically depressed one, idk! But later on, post 1790s, they will say he devoted himself to the sciences, which is very much something Peter was doing.
