  MissScarlett: The source <Schachzeitung, v22 n7, 1 July 1867, p204> apparently dates this game to June 1867, but in the <CPC>, December 1873, p.374, which credits the October <Nordisk Skaktidende>, it's stated it was played in 1865. Did From and von der Lasa meet in both years? https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che...
Jul-24-25  stone free or die: From and Lasa could have conspired to mess with chess historian's heads -

"You're planning two trips to Copenhagen? Hey, let's have a spot of fun, and I'll only play Black during the first trip, and White in the next!"

Of course, vdL could have visited Copenhagen a little more often:

<was from the pen of V. H. D. Lasa , the Prussian Ambassador at Copenhagen>

(FWIW - <From> is a tough name to search on)
