Brief Summary:
Signed statement from F. D. Cabanis regarding the Decroze affair, addressed to Voltaire and dated 6 February 1761.
Detailed Summary:
Cabanis sends a report on the state in which he found Josephe Decroze on 31 December 1760. He notes that he found Decroze in bed, feverish and sluggish, with three considerable wounds to the head and several other wounds to his bones. Cabanis adds that the patient complained of severe pains and has not improved for bloodlettings. He goes on to say that he ordered the necessary remedies, but that the patient appeared to him to be in a great state of danger. Cabanis warned the parents of their son’s critical condition and offers to provide Voltaire with further details should the injuries prove fatal.
