Thank you! Any Teuton-picking, or are you saving that for a separate passthrough?
I swear, the last time I transcribed these letters, I thought I had it down except for a handful of particularly tricky words, and then I'm going through again this week and finding more and more errors. :/ On the one hand, I guess it means I'm getting better at this. On the other hand, eep. On the third hand, I managed to solve a couple of the especially tricky words this time around! "Souportration" is "Souportination", i.e. "Subordination"; it's the only thing that makes sense.
Mr. Kosack (could this be Koppen again?)
No, the handwriting is pretty clear on both. Interestingly, Kosack is the name of the man to whom Fredersdorf leased Zernikow in 1753.
The Margravine of Ansbach is Friederike, the first of Fritz’ sisters to get married, who went from being a brave girl able to cheek FW about the bad food he made his kids eat (cue FW throwing the dishes at Fritz and Wilhelmine) to being a very depressed woman (her husband was a louse).
