Did Celsius and Fahrenheit ever meet (or correspond)?

Celsius and Fahrenheit meet at -40, but did Anders Celsius and Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit ever meet? I'm curious to learn if the two engaged in some form of debate around the merits of the two systems, in person or through correspondence.

It doesn't seem like there is evidence that they ever corresponded, and it is unlikely that they would have because Fahrenheit died in 1736, at which point Celsius was focused on measuring the shape of the earth. He didn't begin investigating temperature scales until the 1740s.
