The manuscript is an autograph letter featuring a décima written in honour of the priest Jeannot. Praising Voltaire’s literary prowess throughout the letter, Kansquer mentions his travels in Europe and Vernay and expresses his hope to have the good fortune of eventually seeing Voltaire in person. The author includes a poetic portrait of a good parish priest Jeannot who had recently passed away, procuring a funeral oration from Cambry de Kansquer.
