Voltaire writes that Prault should urgently add a new passage to the end of the seventh canto. He provides this passage, then asks Prault to send him a note as soon as it is printed, asking him to give Mr. Robert, a lawyer who is leaving for Cirey, a copy of everything printed from La Henriade. He concludes by saying that he is also sending a preface which must be printed in front of Mr. Cochi’s letter and that Prault should also send him a copy of this once it is printed. Only the first two lines of the text Voltaire provides in this letter were incorporated into La Henriade.
