Remember when I read Austrian Trenck's memoirs and found out the infamous raid of Fritz' camp by Austrian Trenck and his Pandurs at Soor didn't just led to dognapping, Eichel kidnapping and them taking the war chest, but also the clothing of Fritz, Heinrich and AW? I just checked out something else in the AW biography and came across one bit I must have overlooked before, where Ziebura tells the same story and adds that the one exception to the clothing situation was one unrobbed wagon in which there'd been AW's bed sheets and underwear. Then she adds a direct quote from AW, from a letter to Ferdinand (still a child and hence not present) dated October 5th, where AW makes fun of the situation: "Now the King and Heinrich are wearing my shirts and are sleeping on cushions made of my sheets."
I thought this was valuable data in case anyone wants to write (again) about Fritz' really bad post Soor week. :)
