Voltaire opens by saying that he has sent a money order for 2400 lt, going on to state that nobody pays him and so he instead use a loans system. He adds that without the assistance of the recipient he would not have sufficient funds to cover his household expenses, though he acknowledges that the recipient is weary of the arrangement and therefore expresses his hopes to be able to repay their advances soon. Voltaire concludes by discussing Berlin’s desire for peace with Russia, something he claims the press and Vienna deny, and ends by asserting that we will soon be enlightened.
