Brief Summary:

Copy by Francesco Albergati Capacelli of a letter from Voltaire to Francesco Albergati Capacelli, written from Geneva and dated 19 June [1760].

Detailed Summary:

Voltaire begins with some poetry, before writing that he awaits a copy of Shaftesbury’s English theology (possibly a work by Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury), upon the arrival of which he will send a copy of another work to Capacelli. He then sends his compliments to Algaroti, adding that if a new play is performed at Tourney he will send a copy to the recipient in Bologna.
