Brief Summary:
Autograph letter signed from Guyot to Voltaire, written from Sacony and dated 4 January 1761.
Detailed Summary:
Guyot begins by saying that Voltaire had ordered him to inform him of anything new that might happen in the proceedings of Ancian. He says that Decroze, as a consequence of advice he received, reserved him to be the last witness in favour of his son, but that he has been mistreated and is only able to appear as a witness if he starts his own complaint against Ancian. He adds that his financial situation would not allow him to do so, and asks for Voltaire’s advice.
