Mr Calas, son on Jean Calas, writes that he is enclosing a work by Voltaire about his father’s execution and his family’s misfortunes.

Voltaire writes that he has been accustomed to all misfortunes, but not yet to that of being entirely abandoned by Thiériot. He says that Madame de Bernières, Madame du Deffand, and the Chevalier Desalleurs should come and see him. To do so, they should just ask permission from Mr. Héraut or Mr. de Maurepas.
