I’m just writing from Halberstadt.
A city also known for Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim (1719-1803).
He was a prominent figure in the German Enlightenment.
Gleim was renowned for fostering relationships with
influential thinkers of his time, including
Lessing, Klopstock, and Herder.
He maintained correspondence with over 550 individuals.
He utilized letters as a means of connection
(when communication was primarily through postal services)
