-
Resolutions of literary passages to which Caroline explicitly refers or to which she alludes, generally including a translation of the passage, often from a contemporary translation, or, if the original was in English, the original passage (e.g., Lawrence Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy by Mr Yorick [London 1768], Tobias George Smollet, The Expedition of Humphry Clinker [London 1771], Lady Anne Lindsay’s ballad, Auld Robin Gray [1772], and Shakespeare, among others).
-
Documentation resolving the identity of the previously unidentified woman whom Caroline mentions but whose name Erich Schmidt misread as “Argyll”; the affair involved hostilities between patriots and loyalists in New Jersey and New York at the end of the American Revolution and a British officer captured at Yorktown.
-
Translated excerpts from every passage of Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther to which Caroline and others refer in letters.
-
Documentation recounting the scandalous affairs and life of Gottfried August Bürger’s wife Elise, née Hahn, in Göttingen, in which not only Philipp Michaelis, but also Caroline’s sisters, Lotte and Luise Michaelis, were involved; includes letters from Bürger to Christiane Elisabeth Hahn in Stuttgart, Elise Bürger’s mother.

The complete text of the short, anonymous 1793 play, The Mainz Clubbists in Königstein, or, How the Women Exposed One Another’s Shame, which deals satirically with the incarceration of Caroline and her traveling companions in Königstein after their attempt to flee Mainz in early 1793. Included are Jakob Minor’s annotations to the play from 1908. Caroline herself appears as a character in the play, and–astonishingly–the anonymous author apparently drew from her letters for the text, which during her imprisonment she had forwarded through a mediator in Frankfurt, and from the letters of S. T. von Sömmerring; indeed, Sömmerring may even have been the author.
