The manuscript is a lettre en vers containing three poems interspersed with prose passages. The author expresses gratitude for receiving a copy of Voltaire’s Corneille, openly criticises Fréron, mentions M. Panckoucke’s republication of Romans philosophiques, and discusses at length the latest performance of Cromwell, written by Antoine-Marin Le Mierre (Du Clairon). The letter also features two short poems exploring the persona’s perceived insignificance and lack of talent.
