I think it may have been in the letters between F1 and Sophie of Hannover when the kid was born. Again, would have to check, do not have the time right now.
One possibility where it might have come up: the interrogation protocols of both Katte and Fritz in 1730? At any event Katte talks a lot about Zeithain there, so might have included that.
Yeah, I searched through Hinrichs before asking, and I couldn't find anything. That's actually where I found Rochow's testament about the hair-dragging the *previous* winter. Admittedly, Hinrichs is difficult for me to skim, because of the font and the convoluted syntax and neverending sentences--that's why I used the search function--so it might be in there and I'm missing it.
If I have time, I'll type up a couple excerpts from Chesterfield's letters that I received from the archives today: nothing new to salon, but I am entertained by all the hostility to FW.
I also placed the order for some Knyphausen-related papers today, so hopefully in a month or so we get those and I have actual new findings!
