Brief Summary:
Autograph letter signed from Voltaire to Henry Fox, 1st Baron Holland of Foxley, written from Aux Délices and dated 25 July 1761.
Detailed Summary:
Voltaire writes that Henry Fox was born to do good. He asks Fox to protect the Shakespear of France in spite of the war. He states that his proposal is modest and his work useful, adding that he, Corneille, and his offspring will be most obliged to him and his English generosity. Voltaire concludes by sending his best wishes to Fox’s son.
